Hi! I'm just getting started. I have my first appointment with the surgeon on June 17th. I am not really sure what I weigh any more. My scales are not able to go up that high. I am so excited to get this started but dread the first weigh in. It's ok though because I know it is only a number and one I plan on changing.
I'm learning a lot from this forum and I am feeling pretty confident that the sleeve is right for me. Hopefully the doctor will agree so I can begin doing whatever pre-surgery things he requires of me.
I'm glad to be part of the forum and look forward to learning more from you guys.

I can't see why it would be a problem as long as you are healthy enough for surgery. The great thing here is you will have a much easier recover since you've lost weight.

Stay strong! Hope you find out soon!

Also another reason is to shrink down your liver so that it is not in the way to do the surgery. Now with that said, I am on a low carb diet to shrink my liver and only have to have cleAr liquids the day before surgery. Mine is not until sept 5th and I am required to lose 37lbs before them. I've lost 14lb in 10 days.

Be sure to find out if is ok to be in the lake or ocean whichever it is. He might say its fine to bathe in a tub but he may not want you in Water that could possibly be contaminated with bacteria.

I havent been sleeved but Im working on it with my consultation being on June 17th. This thread makes me want to go find an inspiration clothing item! When I get scheduled for it then I will definitely get one! Great idea!

Anyone here take paxil before & after VSG ? The pharmacy said that the pill can be crushed but is also available in liquid. Most of my meds can be crushed. Just wondering what the census is for Vitamins & meds should I get everything liquid or just crush? I was leaning towards liquid but not sure . Any thoughts ?
Also in the case of meds that have to be taken everyday how does that work with the sleeve? :/
