Bariatric Program Guides

If your WLS program provided a guide, I suggest you use that. But many people do not receive a program guide when they have WLS. If you fall in that boat, here are some links to guides that I have saved from this forum over the years. If you have any to add, post a comment with a link.

Thank you so much for sharing!

Gastric Sleeve Patients

Thanks, Isereno. I look forward to checking them all out. I do have a lot of information, both from my surgeon and compiled from the boards for 2 - 1/2 years. I have a huge amount of info, so if there's every anything you're missing, let me know. I'm getting sleeved in August, either the 23rd or 26th.
