They haven't given me any information yet. Just scheduled my gallbladder ultrasound and endoscopy.

Yes I've read the cause of it. Lol. It's kinda hard not to read it. It's the second comment. I was just saying I had seen them.

Ouch! Pain Scale from 1 to 10? I have my surgery march 4th and im not looking forward to the pain.

Yay! That's exciting! I'm not nervous but I think I will be. Lol!

How are you feeling? Lol. lot of pain?

I have been waiting for about 6 months? Finally got insurance approval letter on Christmas eve, which makes me feel even more that this is God's will for me. Doctors office called and my surgery date is.....drumroll please.... March 4th! Eek I can hardly wait!

I've seen skin bleach creams. Ive thought about using under my arms.Never used it though. Lol. Just saying I've seen it.

I'm pre op. I have the lap band now and I'll be getting the sleeve soon. I'm just wondering if you still feel the same restriction as with the lap band? Any differences? Any similarities? I hate feeling tightness in my chest from the band being at the top of my stomach and bottom of esaphagous and constantly throwing up and feeling the food go down. Anyone out there that went from lap band to sleeve? Please share! Any information and suggestions is helpful!

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant too! It's been a really depressing time and we've only been trying for 9 months. But I know if I lost weight I'd become more fertile and I'm so excited to have kids. I'm a little upset I'll have to wait a few more years after the surgery. But i'll get over it.

Thanks! lol. I'm looking forward to it. I just hope it would happen already!! lol!! I was looking at your first posts when you were debating and I was thinking DONT GET THE BAND!! lol. One thing I heard a dr say was with the sleeve you have quality of life and I thought to myself, "Quality of life?? WHat is that?" Lol. THere is no quality of life with the band.

StillLooking, when is your surgery?

You know I feel like if I do have any flabby skin or hanging fat, anything is better than how i look now, you know? ****, if I can lose 100 to 150 pounds? I DONT CARE WHATS SAGGING!! lol. I'm gonna show that **** off! Lol!

You are going to do great! Yes there will be some pain but trust me it will all be worth it! If I were you I'd just wake up and say "ok I made it through. I'm ok. I'm alive." and then just relax. Your throat is going to be dry because of the tube they put down to help u breathe. But you'll be ok!!!

How are you feeling? Any nausea? Anything you'd like to share? How long did your surgery take?

Yeah I have the lap band now and I hate it!!! I'm waiting on my insurance to approve getting the sleeve.

Patrick Have you already had surgery?

I would definitely wait! Follow doctors orders! If you can just hold on it'll be worth it! Just think you're not getting rid of it forever, just for right now. You can do it!!
