I just wanted yr opinion. I just got approval to get sleeved on 8 /20 however I am scheduled for 2wk cruise Oct 15 which would put me about 8 wks post opt. Would u wait until after cruise to have surgery or do think 8 wks is far enough out. By the way I love reading yr blog.

Silly girl did y have the sleeve? I just got approval to have sleeve. I can have on 8/20. My question to u is if u were going on an 2 wk cruise 8 wks post opt would u hold off and have surgery after cruise? I thought I would ask u since know what it feels like around this timeframe. Thanks for your input.

Doing well still.....I've basically tried most of the foods that I ate before since I haven't had any real issues with the different foods. I went to a different doctor today for something unrelated. I'm 3 weeks post op and down 30 lbs. I wear a size smaller clothes and my blood pressure is 120/60. He peeked at my incisions today and said they look AMAZING!!! He even asked what I had been doing because they look so good....funny the only thing is I've been using the old gold Dial antibacterial soap daily since surgery. How 'bout you?? Everyone else??Samijane. Question for u. Now that u are 3 wks post op, would you go on a 2 wk cruise at 7 or 8 wks post opt??? I am asking because I am goin on a 2 wk cruise Oct 15 and I don't know if I would be okay if I got the sleeve Aug 20 If I should wait until after cruise. I am glad u are doing so good.

Shellie and golden -- thats awesome of you for offering your support to us soon to be sleevers. I would like your opinion about this. I have completed my 90 day maint. Ins. Requirement and am waiting for Ins approval. And I am going on a 2 wk cruise and don't know if I should wait to have surgery before or after the cruise. If I am able to have surgery 7 -8 wks before the cruise do you thing I would be feeling good enough to enjoy cruise??? Thanks for your thoughts.

Samijane that's awesome. Glad for you. You're doing good.

Wonderful thanks Justine!!!

Hey I'm from STL too. Not sleeved yet. I have completed my 90 day maint req by ins and now waiting for approval. Drs. Wagoner and Snow is who I am using. I am going on a 2 wk cruise to Europe Oct 15 and I am having a hard time deciding if I should wait til after cruise to have surgery. I don't want to be to tired or sick to enjoy. And i was looking forward to being smaller for the trip. And then theres all
The wonderful food i would miss out on. If i am able to have surgery by Aug 15 or 20 that would put me a 7-8 weeks til the cruise. Experienced sleevers- what's your thoughts??? What would u do??

Hey I am new to VST too. I would like to be your buddy. I haven't had my surgery yet, I have completed my 90 days maintenance required by insurance and waiting for approval. I like the fact that of you three there are two that have already been sleeved and can be of much support. I am having a hard time deciding on whether or not to have my surgery before or after I go on my cruse Oct 14. Let me know if you three are interested in adding me to yr group. :-)

Hi, I'm from STL and having my sleeve with Dr Snow on nov 19. I was originally ached for Aug but decided to delay it because I am going on a 2 wk cruise and did not want to worry about complications away from home. So how are you doing now with the sleeve? I too have been torn between having band and sleeve. But I have done a lot of reading in FB groups and am leading towards the sleeve. Why did u decide to choose sleeve?
