Howdy Brandi! You and I were sleeved around the same time. I was worried my loss had stopped. I gained 3 pounds from too many BBQ's, parties, vacation and birthday celebrations. I went back to eating sensible and getting in my fluids and dropped 5 pounds this week! Praise God...FINALLY! I haven't heard about the pouch test, but plan to check it out. I also thought of going back to my pre-op liquid diet. I am 22 pounds from my final goal. I am excited! Good luck!

I'm so excited for you! I just got approved today, but not scheduled until the Christmas holidays. I'm not looking forward to the 2 week liquid diet. Just like you, the nights are the hardest. I lived in SA for 5 years and my BFF from SA is the one who convinced me to have the surgery. She had the lapband and has lost over 100 pounds. Her two gf's had the sleeve and have lost 125 and 90! I can't wait for the all new me. Best of luck to you. Gloey
