i have the same concerns i am insulin dependant and on a insulin pump and I have the same concerns that my blood sugars will go to low and I cannot get enough to eat to get them to come up. I would love any feedback from other diabetic out there that has had the sleeve.

4 pounds in 6 days omg I would love to do that. Give it a chance and dont get discourged that is why we are all the way that we are because we would get discourged with ourselves and give up. Hang in there you will be just fine.

Nice I will be going down In Aug with Dr. Alazama. Good Luck and keep us posted how you are doing.

I would defently say it is a blood surgar probelm. I am diabetic and that is how I get if my blood surgar are to low. I get like this drunk feeling almost and then very dizzy. My eyes dont go wacky but some peoples do. i would call them right a way just to make sure you are ok. If you are not getting in your protein and water then your blood sugars could be dropping.

who is your dr?

you will need to go in to your settings and put it under your signature. this way it will show up everytime that you post something.

I have to be on a liver shrinking diet for a month before the surgery so for 2 weeks i will be on low carb high protein and then for 2 weeks before my surgery I have to be on clear liquids. I think I am going to die. But you know it will be all worth it.

I have went through chemo and total know what the shock is all about one min you have a full head of hair and the next day you are bald. I hope that it is not that bad. I was at least some hair on my head

I just order some of the Unjury product hopeing that it takes good.I am going to try it before I have my surgery and see how much weight I can loose before hand.

My hair falls out like that now before surgery, I am wondering if it will be worse after my surgery and if there is anything that I can start doing now to try and keep it from falling out any more than it all ready does. I have ALOT of hair so loosing some would not be to bad but i dont want it all to come out.

I know what you mean. I am getting my surgery in June and I all ready feel that way. I look at food and I am like omg I dont know if I can give you up. But then I tell myself this is for the better and I AM GONA BE ONE HOT MAMA when this is all done and over. Hang in there you are going through the normal process you will be ok. Just take a big breath

i am hoping to have my done on June 18 but I am still waiting on the funding to come through so i can set my date. Are you going to go with Dr ALverez or with another doctor?

I have heard not so much negative about them but that the clinic is small and there is not much room there. They have also said that the recover home is very loud and cramped. Other than that it seems to have a pretty positive outcome. I am having my with Dr Garcia through alighterme.com for the 5000.00 you have two nights in the hospital (actual hospital) then you have two nights in the hotel which is super nice. You can travel with one person and they can stay with you at the hospital and also at the hotel for no additional cost. What i liked is that it is not in a clinic but in a hospital just in case something goes wrong you have everything right there. If you are traveling alone there will be a rep with you all the time from the time that you get to the airport until you are back at the airport once you are done. They have people that will drive you to go shopping or just around so you can site see if you want. They have a rep that will be in Mexico along with one here in the states that will assist you. I would not be worried about traveling alone. You want to make sure that you have a passport or a passport card so you can travel in to mexico (that is required now) When are you looking to go...

you may want to check out alighterme.com or medicaltransport.com. These are a couple of sites that have everything all set up for you except your airfare. They are great people and most of them have been through the process as well. Sandy at alighterme is great she will answer any questions you have. This fourm is great just read andy ou will learn so much.

I choose to stop my surgery is in mexico so they didnt say much but I could not do it cold trukey. I took the chantex and after three weeks of the meds i am smoke free. I have not smoked in 15 days, it has been hard but when you get a craving wait 3 min and it will go away before you decide to go out and smoke. Hang in there you CAN do this and we are all here to support you.

tHANK IS GREAT

I am wondering if anyone knows where I can go to see about getting a loan for my surgery that I need to have. I have tried a couple of places but they want your credit score to be like 750 and I am not at that. Any suggestion for fair credit loans?

if you have to question it I would go just to have it checked out. Dont wait becuase if it is a clot you will be in much more trouble.

its a pretty simple process they will give you a machine that you will ware when you sleep. It is a bit uncrontable because you will have all of these wires and a nasal prongs you have to wear. YOu put it on a couple of hours before you go to bed so you can get used to it and then take it off in the am. Nothing to major
