I am getting mine done tomorrow at Eglin AFB. Fort WaltonBeach,Fl. I have not had any problems so far. My doctor is Riley. They are very thorough.

My surgeon said 5 and 1. I am also having surgery on Feb.2. Cant wait!!

I would love one too. Never too much info.!!lisarogers63@gmail.com

My surgery is in 8 days and I am nervous too. So sick of people finding out and trying to change my mind.Especially when they say dont u think u should try harder to lose on your own!!erks me!! oh well I am sure we will be fine . Look at all the people who do so good versus problems. Good luck on your big day!!

All of these make sense. They told me to just get the protein and water in first. But i think eventually that will have to change. This site is so informative. Thanks all! i need all the help i can get!!

How do you know how many calories,carbs,etc. to have after surgery? I have been to nutrition classes,but they didnt really tell us that. Are they going to tell me that in the hospital? What really works? I want to lose!!

HI! I am LISA. Feb. 2 is my day. Dr. Riley Eglin AFB.Fort Walton Beach,Fl. I am getting scared.But I am excited too. Doesnt make much since.lol

I am having my surgery Feb 2. I am real happy to finally have a date. It seems like it took so long to get to this point.I need to start finding a shake I can tolerate and all the other stuff I will need.I think this site helps so much.

Tomoorow I will finally get my date!! I am so glad and cant wait. I am so ready for a new me. To feel better.be able to move easier,quit being so hot,and be healthier.Plus I want to wear prettier clothes. I hope everything will go ok tomorrow.

You look great! I love your story and it gives me hope and helps me realize I have made the right decision! My date is sometime in Feb.I am supposed to find out Tues. the REAL date. Cant wait!! Thank you!

Hi! I see my Dr. on Jan. 4 and he said it would be in Feb. I live in NW Florida. I too am very excited and ready to feel better and look better. Lots of hard work ahead. Good luck to everyone!!

How do you deal with negative people about your decision to have the sleeve. I have completed all this STUFF!! lol and studied and gone to meetings and read forums after forums. Book after book. Do they really think they are going to make me change my mind??!!or that I dont know what I am doing?? The thing that is really sad is its my sister.One of the things she also said was every weight loss patient gains their weight back eventually.I guess I sure dont need to use her for my support system. Good thing I have a great husband for that!

It wasnt too bad at all. I got nervous before,just thinking of the throat thing and gagging or possibly puking.lol But they talked to me and started giving me the meds. I dont even know when the tube was started.lol But I was kind of awake and drowsy. Did not feel a thing. My husband helped me with my shoes and I held his arm and walked to the car. It could not have been smoother.And may I add a military facility. Eglin AFB,Fl. Super!

I have had my nutrition class,seen the psychologist......got referrals.....blah,blah,blah.lol Now I finally meet my doctor Monday. Actually the appt. got moved up 3 weeks because they had a cancellation.I am so glad.Now I just wonder what I will have to do after I see him. I have had lots of ultrasounds during the past year as well as cat scans.and blood work.So hopefully there wont be much more to do. I really wanted to have my sleeve asap.But he will probably put me off till January.:/ Cant wait to start my journey!

You are doing really well. I am new. I have not been sleeved yet,hopefully January. It is so nice to read about others on their journey. Keep posting!!
