  17. I am having my surgery on 4/4 and plan on returning to work the following week. I am glad to hear someone say they also did. I am not considered high risk which might help with recovery since I really don't even know what to expect after. Hopefully ignorance is bliss and I will just go with the flow

  19. I am not nervous just curious about what to expect I did not think the process would happen so fast I was definantly on a mission. when I went to the first seminar I already had my packet done and met with surgeon. I don't even know what the pre op consists of
  20. what is the average weight loss the first month. are most people happy they did it. any regret? the sleeve was really my only choice . most people who I know who had the lap band did not lose and I don't know anyone who made iit, to their goal.
  21. how long before you went back to work I am planning on going back in. a week I sit at my job
  22. how long do you have to be on the pre surgery diet . the doctors office sent out the packet today. the doctor said I will only be in. the hospital one day he does not consider me high risk since I do not have high blood pressure and my gnu is under 40. he is a highly recommended doctor does this sound right?
  23. I found out today my surgery is scheduled for 4/4 my insurance approved it quickly which is a good thing. I just discovered this web site today. I am hoping I can get feedback on what to expect. I am looking forward to.the surgery and after reading about the different surgery options I though this was the best for me.
