If I had a counselor like that, I would change counselors.....STAT !!

thank you. I am actually getting sleeved 6 hours south in Naples, so i have yet to meet my surgeon, but i will ask. did a google search. really didn't turn up much....thanks

Thank you for asking this question. I love sushi like crazy !!

Sorry, but i am new to the site. Did you have the sleeve surgery and stretched it? Will it not shrink back down if you get your eating under control? I stretched every part of my body..lol.................god, life hurts when you are fat.

I am just starting out with my Lap Band decision. I have done research, and have attended seminars as well as checking into coverage and financing options. (My plan doesn't cover it at all.) I am curious about how long the pre-op diet takes and how many visits i must make before the actual surgery. I ask because my mother wants me to have the surgery back home (there is a very renowned surgeon there) but I am concerned about how much pre-op there is because she lives 6 hours away. I am also wondering of I can get follow-up care from a different surgeon/doctor or if you are required to do follow up with the surgeon who performed the procedure. Can anyone shed light on these questions?

Thank you and congrats on your weight loss.

Thank you Cindy, but I heard a surgoen say that he needed the weight loss for the sake of the safety of my liver. how long does the pre-op diet take all together ?
