I had my sleeve done at inova fair oaks hospital with dr Moazzez. I'm totally happy with my results. Tomorrow makes one week and I'm down 7 lbs. I'm sure it has a lil bit to do with being on an iv for 4 days. He also repaired my hiatial hernia. He's with the bluepoint surgical group and those ladies are fantastic. They took care of everything I only had to show up!!

I have care first ppo and they took care of everything except the psych eval and 6 month nutrition sessions

Many thanks!!!

That's the plan. I'll be in NY -- even if it's just to sit with her. She's fairly weak; I had to carry her like a baby last week to the hospital...luckily my hubby's great with our girls. They'll be clean and safe but their hair won't be combed! lol Thanks for the prayers...we sure need it! How are you recovering? I'm packing my hospital bag now...not even sure what to put in there!

Thank you

Wow, I can't believe tomorrow's the day. I'm entering this path with mixed feelings. I'm glad to be having this happen, but my mother is really sick and was admitted to the hospital over the weekend. She's fighting cancer. I didn't tell her about my surgery. She was sad when I left NY to come back to DC. I told her I had something pressing with work that needed to be taken care of this week. My hubby will drive us (kids and I) to NY to visit with her next weekend. I sure hope I'm up to it. I have an extensive schedule and at the end of the day my surgery is the only way I could get paid time off. I pray I can get a full 6 weeks off and my mom can get stronger. I haven't cheated much on my liquid diet. Just a couple times and I had protein(egg white or chicken) -- haven't had carbs in a while, so I'm down 13 lbs on my one week diet. I haven't had the desire to eat. Watching my mom fight this fight is the hardest thing I've ever had to do...right next to watching my brother lose his fight in July. I kinda figured my mom would deteriorate once she had to bury her first born. So thanks for reading and good luck to all my fellow Oct first sleevers!! Tomorrow's our birthday!

I know I"m late by my NUT said the gummies still can have a chance of not being chewed to a small enough size and may get stuck...chewables only is my suggestion.

Congrats!!

I did optifast...maybe u can so sugar free jello and crystal light

Excellent post! Thanks for sharing!
