I got hooked on 7Eleven's sugar free slurpees, particulary the cherry limeade!!! Then I start adding ice too it. Maybe hooked isn't accurate, ADDICTED is the truth! Lord help me, lol!!! But, give me some ice cold water and my sleeve and I are content:)

Lol I had to ask my Dr. Same thing and she just laughed and said yep, I think we were excepting the worse so it made it ez

Congrats and welcome to the ranks of VSG'ers.

Thats great Dolly Im due to be sleeved Monday 3rd Sept nervouse and excited.
Good Luck

I've been sleeved! Came home today. I'm already off blood pressure and insulin-regulating medications! Who knew chicken bouillon could taste so yummy?!

I will very honest with you. I haven't been following the plan. It was almost like okay I want to eat this cause who knows when I'll get to eat this again. I heard this is one of the biggest mistakes one can make. But I have decided to go back on track and I am hoping that by the 4th I have lost at least 3 if not all the weight I gained. I was going to go back to they gym but I feel so tired and sick (cold). I am hoping that I feel somewhat better tomorrow and at least hit the treadmill for a bit. Better than nothing, right?

Hi Im having mine Monday,it is only human nature to be nervous Im the same sometimes I do a happy dance then next minute Im ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww so scared.
Good luck keep me posted.

Yeah... you certainly did handle that situation better than me too. I would have had something smart alecy to say to her. Really, sometimes people should just mind their own busniess.

OMG, I am so sorry!!! People are so rude i can't believe it. I bet you would have liked to smack her upside the head!!!
You have plenty of friends here!!!

Yep, there is a lot of anxiety going on right before the surgery. It's the unknown and the catastrophizing we to in our heads. Do something different and keep yourself busy. You will do great tomorrow and when you wake up, you will not feel a thing because you will have pain meds (like a morphine pump) that will keep you comfortable. You will most likely sleep most of the day and night away and before you know it, you will be on your way home with your sleeve! CONGRATS and here's to a speedy recovery!

I'm sorry to hear that. It sucks when things are in someone elses hands and they aren't handing it off appropiately. Have you checked to see if there's someone else at the doctor's office handing the case files while she's out?

You can do this just think if u break this your liver mightnt shrink and they wont operate.

My mom Had gastric bypass 8 days ago and her diabetes is 99 percent better and she is off oxygen she was on 4 litres around the clock. I get sleeved Tuesday if it ever gets here.

Did anyone see his show today? He discussed the benefits and positive impact Bariatric surgery can have on secondary medical conditions brought by obesity. Although, they only discussed the bypass and the immediate improvement it has on Type 2 diabetes, I felt it was a step in the right direction. I, wish the sleeve had been discussed, maybe because there is not as much longterm data regarding the benefits, it wasn't addressed. However, Dr. Oz is a supporter of Bariatric Surgery as a beneficial tool to fight obesity. He and the other doctors he had on the show, made a point of emphasizing that surgery is not an easy way out option, because of the the lifelong committment the individual has to make to a lifestyle change. They hope that more training will be provided in nutrition in medical schools and that PMD's will learn more about Bariatric surgical options and not be hesitant to refer their patients if they are suffering from other serious health issues secondary to obesity.

Hi,
I was sleeved Mon. Aug 6 and released on that Thurs. I was a Diabetic that Monday But was
taken off Meds at my release. I am having # 80s to upper 90s and was taken off other Meds.
I had the same ? pior to the sleeve and Doc said I would be fine with heeling.I feel great only
a little pain from 1 insision in somach muscle wall.
Good Luck

I healed quickly with no complications with the surgery. My blood sugar is great and I'm on no meds for anything so far.

Mine healed fine. If you are having issues with healing prior to surgery from other abrasions or cuts with your healing then I would suggest telling your surgeon ahead of time. I have never had trouble with wound-healing, and I didn't post surgery either.
The nice thing is pre-surgery I was on a diabetic medication that cost $500-600 every three months or close to $200 monthly. I emerged from surgery with my blood-sugars under control daily. Mostly I run 102-105 blood sugars every day since surgery (lowest 92-94, highest 115-117). I am off any medications. Now that I am starting more exercise, I will monitor for low blood sugars!
Hoping things go well for you.

Hi! My surgery is scheduled for Sept. 8th, so we'll be starting journey about the same time. I have not told a lot of people for the same reasons as you. I'm 5'4", 270 lbs. Also looking for encouragement and a buddy for support & to give support. My children are all grown up. I'm doing this for me,my health is going downhill & I can honestly say I am sick and tired of being sick and tired!
