im 10 weeks out the first 4 weeks i was not hungry but now i am hungry all the time and if i don't eat i get grouchy i have the need to eat about every hour to two but i don't feel satisfied or full i was under the impression that with the surgery the hunger sensation would go away at least that's what i was told

as far as i know it does not take too long after the options program to get you schedule i took longer because i was not ready to make that decision but as soon as i called them to tell i was ready a nurse called me 3 days later to schedule appointment to see surgeon she wanted to schedule me within 2 days but because i had gained all the weight back i asked for an appointment 2 weeks i just saw him yesterday and he scheduled me for 3/7/12 people that i attended the same program with me have already had the surgery

hi im going to have my surgery march 7, im about 280 and have been referred by 3 different doctors but the first 2 times i didn't consider it i thought it was too extreme, too hard and a waste of time what were they going to teach me. I am 38 now and suffer with osteo arthritis along with other illness and due to my weight it is very hard for me to walk some days or even get out of bed so when i was refered in august 2011, i decided to give the options program a try. I took the program it was 12 weeks and it was great i learned how to exercise how to eat better i can't say that i change my whole lifestyle because i was not ready i went to the support groups and saw that most of the people there were sick and one of the ladies made a great impact on me she had the sleeve but had only lost 20 lbs because she continued her bad habits after her surgery so it got me thinking of why im doing this and my habits were still there my class ended in november 2011 but when i was called to see the surgeon i didn't call back i decided i would give it one last try and loose the weight on my own. well 2 months passed and nothing i was still feeling fat, sick and horrible so i called my nurse and asked her for a reschedule so i started what i thought was a diet so when i saw my surgeon he chewed me out i thought oh he's going to send me home and tell me to loose more weight but after the chew out he scheduled me for surgery 03/7/12 12 days away he put me on a liquid diet with small dinner for 9 days and all liquid for the 2 days before surgery its going to be hard but would do it all over again kaiser is the best their not only giving me my health they also educated so that i can take care of myself you so i feel prepared now just one more suggestion try the support groups when i went they didn't know me but i felt very welcome kaiser has the best program i believe. thats my very long story hope it helps

Redo your before surgery diet of just liquids and Protein for a couple of days and that helps shrink your sleeve, I would not re-sleeve I have anemia since my surgery and felt like crap for the first 2 years i'm on my fourth year and starting to feel better i'm still battling with my weigh but would not like to go thru the hell of this surgery again, it's just a change of lifestyle.
