Thanks guys...i trust her.....im sure she will keep an eye on it...i know i will be looking for any symptoms for sure...

Hey there.. I have one more visit with my surgeon before my surgery next month. I asked her tuesday if she does the swallow test, in which she said she doesnt...she explained that she uses the drain to watch for certain fluids the 2 days after the surgery, to let her know there is a leak..she hasnt ever had a leak, knock on wood....she had stated that she didnt like to make patients go thru that nasty tasting berium swallow since we would already be tortured enough with a month on liquids.....i was just wonderign what you guys thought..im happy shes leak free, but maybe that sense of knowing would be worth the bad taste/experience.....i also dont have to do an endoscope either...so just wondering if anyone else has these same things from there surgeon...thanks in advance

Finally. Surgery in 5 or 6 weeks, can't come soon enough

Wow...awesome, im about the exact weight and bmi, 6 foot 2...and am scheduled for surgery in about 5 weeks...that weight loss is my dream in that time. Any tips or pointers other than the obvious to be able to achieve your success? tell us how your surgery day went if you get time, thanks and again..wow

Sorry, nothing too exciting to read here, but anyone tried the protein shake called Oh Yeah! Yet? 32 grams of protein in one. Its not too bad. Lactose free as well.

Good luck! I'm a month or so out on my journey, having it done at Mercy. Have done 2 rounds of the nut, p.t., and Psyche.....fun fun....good luck from a fellow St.Louis native.

Columbia Illinois here.....I'm about 2 months from my sleeve. Having mine done by Dr. Hawver ay Mercy......

St.Louis here as well.....best of luck tomorrow!

Thanks Vance. 43 year old male with 4 year old triplets. I owe it to them to be able to chase there lil butts around for a long time.

Hi, I'm in the beginning of my journey, to be sleeved in about 3 1/2 months. Love reading all your posts and loom forward to asking advice in the future. Lets roll!
