I too had Dr. Cantor and I say him back in June and had surgery Nov 28, yes he does have a waiting list but what you can do is call the surgery scheduler Jeanie and ask her where you are on his list and what I did was called his office and she gave me a date right then and there. Try either of those options. Congratulations and I assure you that you will be very please with Dr. Cantor and his team. Good Luck

So I'm 7 weeks out and lost 29lbs, well I went to see my surgeon and he told me that I haven't lost enough that I need to exercise and reduce my carbs. Well I haven't exercised but as far as food I can barely eat anything and carbs are the last thing if I even have some. I will say I can't digest any sorce if protein but all of my blood counts and levels are fine, just had that checked last week. One thing I found that I really like is bananas is that a bad thing?

Last Saturday 210 and today 202........ im loving this sleeve only thing im hungry and can't eat anything. My doctor moved me to mushies and they are all horrible, juice is entirely to sweet only thing I can stomach is ice water and my liquid centrium vitiman. I was sleeved on 111/28/2011 and I don't know what to do....... any suggestions

Oh no,,,,, wait it out and maybe just drink some ice Water I hope that will help. Ann

210.2 today surgery on 11/28/2011. Day of surgery 228lbs.

I was sleeved on 11/28/2011 and since the day of surgery i've loss 18lbs..... im still on clear liquids but I do go back to see the surgeon on Tuesday. As far as exercise I stay at the malls since its the holiday time. Protein has been a real struggle, it makes me completely sick to my stomach so that's an issue but oh well what can I do right now. Vitimans make me ill to but all in all im happy with my decision and much success to everyone

Day of surgery 11/28/2011 - 227lbs One week Post Op - 215lbs Today - 212.8 lbs Im not stepping back on the scale until my next appt on the 20th... I haven't been able to get much Protein if any down but I know it will get better.

I didn't have a stool until about 5days after surgery and that's because there isn't anything in our system to expell but liquids, my surgeon told me in the hospital this would happen and not to be concerned. You will have a very loose stool at first and its coming just be patient as long as you don't feel constipated. Congratulations on your sleeve, im 12 days out and each day I have a little wet one (sorry) but im ok with that.

Im 12 days post op and I had the same feeling you have, just sip when you can and remember that you have still have alot of Fluid in you from the IV but each day gets better. I can now consume more liquids but I still get the hic ups when my sleeve is full so I so by that....... that sensation may be a sign of fullness. It really does get better Ann

I did infact hav the JP drain, I was sleeved on 11/28/2011 and the drain remained in until yesterday 12/6/2011. The only issue I had with it was the removal of it (the most uncomfortable experience I have ever had) but its out now and I actually feel much better.

I was officially sleeved on Monday November 28, 2011... these last few days have been the absolute hardest but each day gets better. Im getting more liquids in today but the Protein is still kinda hard because of the sweetness but over all im happy with my decision. I am so appreciative of this website because it has helped me along my journey. I haven't stepped on the scale out of fear but I also have some serious incision pains but like I said Im happy..... I have officially joined the losers bench Ann

Im getting dressed and will be headed to the hospital @ 9am and surgery is scheduled for 11. To my other fellow banana Babes I will keep you all in my prayers and wish each and everyone much success as you travel this very same road...... losers bench here we come. I will check back in soon and give everyone an update. Much Love, Ann

Im doing absolutely terrible with this full liquid diet sometimes I wonder if the sleeve is right for me. My doctor has me on this strict 2 week clear liquid deit that is almost impossible for me to follow. What do I do?

Congratulations to you all, mines is November 28

Hey Banana Babes, I will officially be sleeved on November 28, 2011. I have been on the roller coaster since January 10 of this year........ congratulations to all of us Banana Babes. I can't wait
