Is everyone able to eat their whole meal during their lunch time? I only get 30 mins for lunch and ive read that some people take up to an hour! My surgery is in a month and im sooo stressed about this whole eating issue... No more than 2 oz of water in a 15 min period, an hour to eat a cup of food, no drinking with ur food ect. Geeeez im starting to wonder if I can do this and will I be happy living like this? Post sleevers please help me with this!

I read somewhere that after surgery your body will need b-12 suppliments/injections for the rest of its life! Has anyone experienced this or have any info in this topic?

Thank you for that great info, it will help me on my journey!

Sweet! I cant wait!

Ok thank you, I just wanted to make sure i didnt need to take any with me!

For any of you who have had surgery with dr. Aceves, do they feed you clear protein while your there after surgery?

Ready2bthin, ill be there with u on june 2nd, we'll be surgery buddies! Im excited for a new start!

Thats Fan-damn-tastic!

Im only going to bring a carry bag so hopefully that will help with delays. Also do you guys recomend me trying to sit close to the bathroom? Im also affraid of having extreme gas on the plane, how embarrasing!

Thanks Allie, you've helped me alot already!

Thats some great advice allie! Since you have been there let me ask you sonething.. who takes your stitches out once u get home? And can you take showers right away with stitches?

Eri, I feel exactally the same as you do except ive only flown once and its not my thing! Sooo thats just one more hurdle ive gotta clear...oh well i'll just have to suck it up huh!

Linda, thanks for the advice that will make things alot easier!

Eri, im very excited for you and pleaseee keep me updated on your progress since were going to the same place with the same doctor! Maybe that will help eleviate some of my jitters!

Woohoo! June 1st here I come... Im scared shitless and excited at the same time!

Thanks guys, thank you for the advice! I feel better about my flight now.

Capt Derel, great advice, thank you!

Anyone have any preferences on which airways are better than others? I was thinking Southwest.

How did everyone feel on their plane ride home? I live in Florida so its like an 8 hour flight and im concerned about being sick or uncomfortable for soooo long! I was also thinking of going business for the bigger seats and additional leg room! Let me hear your experiences and suggestions, thanks.

Thank you Diva for your honesty, I appreciate it!

Diva, Ok theres a couple things I need to know... Since you have been sleeved for a while I figured you'd be the one to ask.. Soo Ive been reading different posts on this forum and Ive read that after being sleeved some people seem to get angrier, some have to take reflux medication for a while afterwards, and some have a harder time with memory and learning, and some even recomended having their gallbladder removed with sleeve surgery cause it will just go bad anyway. Did/do you have any of these symptoms? Can you give any advice on these topics? Thanks Diva, you look great by the way!

Not in,Tampa but in Orlando there is Dr Kim at Celebration hospital. Its around $18,000 self pay and its for a full year post op and nutrition! Hope this helps.

Ok so I read somewhere that some people have their gallgladder removed at the same time as their sleeve because the gallbladder will just go bad in 10 years anyway! Does anyone have any info on this?

Maybe they (like others im sure) think of WLS as a cheaters way of doing it! Maybe its looked down upon by outsiders. My son used to give me crap all the time about it. People who havent delt with weight issues their whole life doesnt understand. WLS is the only way and last resort for me! Thank you to whoever invented the sleeve!

All of you are great and im glad to hear theres no regrets! Thank you all and I hope each of you have continued success!
