How could you talk to 911 and the hospital operator but couldn't yell to get a nurses attention? I agree with the fishy comment. I think some things are not being remembered correctly.

That sounds great! Thanks!

Oh good call on the Ramen seasonings! I like the way that broth tastes. Thanks!

I don't like canned/boxed broth and was wondering if anyone could give me a good recipe for homemade broth. I want to stock my freezer before my surgery!

Ha - I was thinking there was no way it could be as painful as a C-section. LOL

Is the surgery recovery similar to a c-section, pain-wise? ~Angie~

I am 34, so I am hoping my "young skin" will be able to bounce back. Thanks for the replies!

If not - what did you do (if anything) to prevent sagging and loose skin? I am worried about how much loose skin will be there after I lose weight. I am about 250ish right now..

Thanks for your comments! I am hoping it will do the same for me!

Has anyone noticed any difference in their IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) after having the sleeve done?

Hey - I am starting my sleeve journey. I am doing my 6 month insurance required waiting period right now. I should have surgery sometime in April or early May. I am so nervous!! I am about 255 right now and cannot wait to start my new life. I started out researching the LapBand, but after about a month of being totally convinced that is what I was going to do, I decided to look into the sleeve. My mind was changed quickly after reading all the stories of people having to switch to the sleeve from the band!! I have 2 kids - 10 & 7 and I NEED to be healthy for them (and me too!). I have been reading this site and just wanted to introduce myself! ~Angie~

What kind of protien shakes/powder do you all like?

Thanks for the info! I will check out your site.

Oh good! I expected longer than that!

I have an office job - very little activity. How long should I expect to be off work? Thanks!

I haven't been banded yet (going for my seminar tonight), but was wondering what a normal day of eating is like for you?? How much are you able to eat at a time? thanks!
