That's what my NUT told me as well...plus chewable vitamins...

Congratulations!!!! You look amazing!!!!

WOW! You look amazing!!!!!!

I've read on these forums a out a lot of people who had to have and removed and converted to sleeve. Personally, I never liked the idea if a "foreign" object around my stomach...that's my personal opinion. I'm sure you'll make the right decision for you. Good luck!

Has anyone had surgery at Toledo Hospital and if so, would you mind sharing your experience? In early stages...

Great question..looking for an answer myself. Does anyone know if BCBS of MI requires documents to be submitted before approval or do they automatically approve after doctors office calls them? Met with the NUT for 2nd visit..4 more to go. Hoping that is all I will have to do??? Thanks anyone:)

When you lose the weight and incorporate exercise, do you still get the saggy skin?

First of all congratulations on such a significant weight loss!! (I'm still in the waiting the game). From everything I've read, I understand hair loss to have a connection with not enough Protein?

I feel the same way about gyms. Haven't been sleeved yet but looking forward to hearing the responses of your post. Congrats on your sleeve!

That is what I've heard as well..lack of Protein. I haven't joined the official "Sleevers club" yet (5 more NUT to go), however I'm reading a ton on this site to become more informed. This is an AWESOME site with an overwhelming amount of support!! Love all you guys & gals!

I've decided to not share this with anyone. This journey is NOT easy and I honestly believe those who think that are uneducated about the whole process and may never been in our situations. I figure no one asked me how I got this way it's not their business how I became healthier! Think of this as a tool. Keep a ile in your face and know that we are all here to support you!!

Good morning and congratulations on such a remarkable weight loss! WOW! I'm in the early stages if this journey however from what I've read on these forums is that then"stalling" seems normal. My assumption is that your body is playing catch-up to your quick loss. Hang in there, I'm certain this will pass: sounds like your doing all the correct things. Once more..congrats on the loss!! Cheers!

Your going to do fine. Generally the anesthesiologist/CRNA will give you a little something before surgery to take the edge off, If you ask? Just think good thoughts and know we are all here to support you!! Sending hugs from MI

I agree with you 100%! Our lives MUST change after surgery. MUST. Key word here. Keep on your path and know we are here to support you!!!

Fellow soon-to-be Sleevers, All will go well and know your doing this for all the RIGHT reasons: to get your life back!!!! My thoughts & prayers are with you. Hugs!!

Good luck, we are all sending well wishes!!! Looking forward to my date!

Hoping you hear something soon...I've got 5 more months of NUT visits..seems like so far away

Way to go!! I'm turning 50 this yeaar also and looking forward to feeling "nifty at fifty"! I'm in the early stages of this journey..1 NUT appointment down, 5 to go. So perhaps December? Not sure how long this process will take me but I am really looking forward to it. Any complications or surprises along the way? Congrats again, keep up the good work!

Jessica...I'm sure your not the first or the last person to have those feelings, as my time nears I'm certain I'll feel the same way. All of us here send our well wishes and will think positive thoughts for you and you begin this new chapter in your life!!! Go get 'em!!!!!!

My BIGGEST concern is pulmonary emboli! Biggest risk with any surgery.

Sorry your not feeling well. May I ask if you still have your gallbladder?

Sorry to hear your not well. May I ask if you still have your gallbladder??
