Haven't had surgery yet, but I can tell you I already miss cheesecake! I'm in a pre-op diet

Hi! My doctor instructed me not to take any anti-inflamatory meds such as advil pre and postop. I suffer a lot from allergies and every now and then and I take benadryl. Anybody knows if benadryl could affect anesthesia or the surgery? My surgery is on the 25th of april. Thanks!

Hola! FYI, this is the best site to learn all there is to the sleeve.

Hey Swiftflow, I sleep with a bottle of diet coke beside my bed every night. BTW, you and I will be having surgery on the same date! The 28th is a Wednesday if I'm not mistaking. Mine will be taking place in Florida.. We should keep in touch.. Take care bro

Hey everybody! I dont mean to hi-jack your thread but our surgery dates are really close. Very very excited! Excuse my english as it isn't my main language. Where will your surgery take place? Thanks and nice meating ya!

Hi everyone! Let me introduce myself since this is my first time here. My name is Victor and I am 24 years old. I am currently in Med School (studying abroad). And I have been dealing with weight issues all my life. Ever since I could remember I've been on and off diets. I have never reached my "ideal" weight. With that said, I will be getting a VSG on April due to my class schedule (wouldn't mind getting it tomorrow but I have to wait till my vacations). The surgery will be done in Florida. I measure 5'7 and my weigh in at 235; that gives me a BMI of 36.8 What should I expect after being sleeved? I am very anxious.. Never been "thin" in my life. If diet and exercise is in check, can I loose 50 lbs by December? Thanks in advance for you support! This forum is very motivating!

Thanks everyone! I love everybody's attitude on this forum. My dad himself is a Surgeon, but not bariatric though. I am one year away of being an intern in the hospital and do aspire of becoming a Surgeon as well. Can't wait to get my sleeve :frown1:
