Hello everyone hope when reading this your doing great : im juat starting my journey my first appt with the surgeon is apr 30th already did the first cardio appt my question is when i dont eat at a certain time of the day my body shakes im lightheaded dont feel good at all cause my sugars drops i work standing up for 9 hours a day and sometimes i dont even eat for loong periods of time thats why my metabolism is so bad ! and i wonder with surgery and less amount of sugar how i am going to feel? I dont want to feel sick or weak all the time is there anybody that knows cause i know that the sugar intake after surgery has to be minimal so HELP! I appreciate your comments have a wonderful day!

Hi everybody! Hope when you r reading this thread everybody's doing great! What i mean by that is that im just starting hAve my first appt with the cardiologist next week and initial with the surgeon i know all doctors r different but can somebody tell me what to expect? And after surgery is it wierd how do you cope with your hungrer the first weeks? Other thing is the surgery really painful? Ive been through 3 csections and it was painful but probably this is major pain just curious to hear your input on it i appreciate it soo much! Best of wishes in everybodys journey post, pre op and of course the vets who are so helpful!

Hello to all! Question im new and starting my appts and approvals but always heard the same dumping what is exactly?! Is it like you get sick out if something you eat or its because you can eat anything sugary at all im going to meet woth my surgeon in april 30th and ill ask also but i want to hear from real people going through the process or that have experienced this before and last question why sugar will make you sick? Only ask cause i just cant sand fake sweetners so when the time is here dont know what to do help!

When i did my first seminar (im new at this too) i remember that the surgeon said the most success is rny the sleeve doesnt have too much time on the market and most importantly with the sleeve they remove part of your stomach so its not reversible just in case something happens God forbid!!! So u decided when i get my surgery ill go with rny best wishes and good luck!
