Good morning All , I had a few questions I am now 10days post op (yeah) , how much protein should I consume in a day. I was told by doctor 3 cups but that doesnt tell me how much protein I should have. Can you tell me the numbers you were given by your doctors. And also how much excercise is one suppose to do a week out and so on. Monday I started a mile a day is this too little ? If their are any April sleevers you mind sharing your weight loss. Thanks everyone seems like I can never get enough info.

I was wondering did anyone get itchy mine are & slightly puffy?

Hi, I was wondering is their anyone that had Cigna (north Texas) and how long was the approval wait ? I completed everything that was asked of the insurance company and all paper work has been submitted. As you can imagine I am ready to get the procedure done. Anyone ? Thanks!

Hello my question I wanted to ask everyone is after VGS how long was it before you returned to work ? I am a little worried about the down time .

Hello everyone , I have been looking into the sleeve and it seems to be the right choice. I am wanting to ask people what is the advantages and disadvantages of having the surgery. My insurance requires 6 months with a dietician, nutrionist, and physc evaluation (barely passed that lol) , clearance from pcp, clearance from surgeon.. I have completed almost everything except the 6 months dietician i will be done with that the end of this month. Then the dreaded wait from insurance. As time is getting closer i am getting nervous if i am making the right decision? I am a 30 year old mother of 3, married, and have been very over weight for years. Like many others have tried different ways of trying to lose weight, since going to dietician I have already lost 45 lbs. If i could please get some responces on the benefits and disadvantages that would be great. Also what impact does it have on your spouse? As time gets closer I have found my spouse to be very unsupportive. Any advise ?
