I'm confused about the difference between acid reducers. What exactly is a PPI? Is this an OTC medication or do I need a prescription? Why do some people take multiple kinds. Please help this ignoramus. Mucho Appreciated!:001_rolleyes:

Thanks Tiffy! Is there any difference between the prescription and the OTC meds?

My pre-op diet is liquid. Anyone else? I have a cruise next week and will be going hardcore dieting until I begin my liquids on October 2nd.

I am just the opposite. I can be a 24 in waist and a 18/20 in butt and hips. It is the suck for sure either way!

Congratulations!!!!

funny.....I would totally feel the same. I had my first boobiegram last week and was enough uncomfortable when she picked up my boob and my fat stomach to move them. Never gain will someone have to pick up by stomach. I swear!

Christie, you are such a beautiful girl. You are beautiful on the inside which makes the outside even that much more extraordinary. I can relate to the self-sabotage. I have previously lost weight and was down to 201 lbs. I must have freaked out being so close to onederland that I immediately started gaining weight after that. I'm looking forward to tackling some of those mental issues that we all deal with. Congratulations on all of your success. You deserve it!

I'm scheduled with him for October 11th!

Congratulations!!! Good luck on your journey.

Hello everyone! I am scheduled to be sleeved on October 11th. I plan on getting in to a normal work our routine at least 5 days per week. When I've worked out before, I've done the interval training and really push myself with the cardio. My question is....When I am done with my workout I cannot drink enough water fast enough. How is this going to work after the sleeve? Is sipping going to "cut" it?

Keeping Christina in my thoughts today. Hope everything went well for you girl!!!!!

Hello everyone! I am scheduled for my sleeve on October 11th. Woohoo! Problem is that I'm going on a cruise on September 11th and I have nothing to wear and refuse to buy anything new because I don't want to invest any money in something I'm not going to be able to wear for very long. I am a size 24 or 3X in shirts and a 26/28 in pants. I don't even have an acceptable bathing suit. My current one is a tankini. The bottoms are great but the top got messed up in the laundry. Any help is appreciated.

I am scheduled with him for October 11th.

I usually think time goes by so fast. Now that I have my surgery date it seems to dragging on and on. I would have scheduled my surgery for earlier but I have a cruise scheduled for mid-September. Oh well, it will come soon enough I guess.

Good to hear everything went well Rebecca!!!! I'm very afraid of being too nauseated. I'm anxious by nature though, which doesn't help.

Isn't my roommate the best? I thought it would be awesome if us "Floridians" had our own forum. Let's all meet up in http://verticalsleevetalk.com/usa-local-vsg-support/8075-florida-sleevers.html. We still need to plan on meet and greet post surgery party!!!

Thanks Roomie....You're the best :thumbup:

If anyone knows how, they should set up a Florida group on the forum where the different countries are. I don't know how. I could ask my roommate and see if he knows.

Awesome! How was the recovery house? Did you bring someone with you, and if so, were they able to stay in the house? Any issues with nausea? I always get sick after surgery so I'm way nervous about losing my cookies.

Ah Yes, I remember...South Beach.... We will definitely have to get together after our surgeries. I live in Palm Bay. I know your surgery is coming up. Any progress with getting the husband back on board?

My name is indeed Tammy. What part of Florida do you inhabit?
