    Avoiding Some Medical Issues

    I am ready to change my eating habits forever! I think the biggest challenge will be getting in the liquids, but after reading that post, I see another reason why it is so important. Thanks for the article.
  2. I just ordered free samples from Chike Nutrition. They send a full serving sized packet of each of their 5 flavors. You just pay shipping.
  3. I am using Dr. Kelly. His assistant (not a coordinator), Omar has been really great. They also fit me in on June 14th. I scheduled it May 27th - so it was a fast track. Here is the contact info: J.Ricardo-R.Kelly.M.D-FACS info@wlsclinic.com www.wlsclinic.com wls-clinic@hotmail.com Tel-Direct (619)793-4869 & (619)955-6771 Cell. (619)395-5347

    Self Pay With Questions!

    I decided on Dr. Kelly in Mexico and scheduled it less than 3 weeks out. I was told you do not need a passport to go to Mexico, but need it to come back. StrangelyNormal sounds like she has inside info though! My surgery is $5500 including everything but the airfare.

    I'll be with Dr. Kelly June 14th - maybe we will pass in the halls!

    July 19?

    June 14th for me - I found two other women here also on the same day. Someone (MinaT) started a June sleevers thread and she kept a log of everyone there - Maybe start a July one to find some buddies?

    Newbie Shout Out

    Welcome, I am pretty new around here too. It's a great support system, everyone is really helpful and kind. I am June 14th in Mexico.
  9. I like wearing the workout tanks with the built in bras. The ones I have fit tight against the body, but not so tight as a compression garment. Do you think this would be comfortable post op, or would some that is loose and flowy be better?
  10. Ditto! Congrats to our June 1st sleevers for getting us started! Hope you are all recovering nicely and we look forward to hearing from you!
  11. I can really see it! Great job!

    Pain Is Nearley Gone

    Glad to hear! I wish you continued good luck!
  13. Well, that says it all - when were you able to drive? I mean short distances - 30 minutes or less.

    Feeling No Support

    The only person that knows is my husband. I am happy to have found this site for support. Also happy that I found 2 other people with my surgeon on my date! Am looking forward to meeting them on June 14th!

    Best Food Guide?

    Online, I usually go to CalorieKing.com. They also have a software program you can try/buy. Also, there is a book. I am not 100% if fresh individual items are in there or if it is more geared toward fast food/chain type of restaurants. Here is the link for the book. http://www.amazon.com/CalorieKing-Calorie-Carbohydrate-Counter-2012/dp/1930448368/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338381830&sr=8-1
  16. Another sleeve sister here for June 14th! I am having surgery with Dr. Kelly - also that day Finding Myself and Goofycathy.
  17. I am scheduled for June 14th, but I ordered the Unjury Chicken Soup today to have for when I get home. What acid reducer are finding is helpful?
  18. Wow, so I just sent my questionnaire to Omar last Thursday and he just called. He said Dr. Kelly is going to be calling in 1-15min! I wish I had some questions prepared! Anyone around?
  19. Yes, update! I scheduled my surgery for June 14th, maybe I should start one!

    My Incisions Itch!

    Where are the incisions? I am starting to pack and am trying to avoid things that will touch them.

    Any June Sleevers?

    I haven't but my husband dreamt last night that Shane Victorino had the surgery with my surgeon (Dr. Kelly). He thought, well, if he is good enough for a professional baseball player, then I guess he is good enough for me!

    Last Chance Eating

    I just scheduled my surgery for June 14th yesterday! I must have a few things for the last time! Like this one sushi roll that will not be a part of my diet after. Also, I would love a risotto!
