Hi, I haven't had my surgery yet but in the process all is a go I just need to drop 20lbs before I can have the surgery so I'm working on it good luck to you and hope everything is going great if you have any tips that you would like to share Pre and post op please share.

Have you had ur surgery yet?

Thank you everyone for the tips :-) I'm starting protein shakes today so we will see how it goes and I will let you all know.

Met with the Surgeon this morning and he said all is a go but before he can schedule my op date he wants me to lose 20lbs so the liver can shrink before surgery... UGH!!! This sounds like mission impossible but I have to do everything in my power to get it done. Does anyone have any tips on losing weight fast and healthy ?

Good luck :-)

Baby Beluga, Thanks for the support!! Have you gotten ur date yet?

iegal, thank you for sharing and being positive it really helps me and I'm sure others feel confident about the surgery :-)

So I've been doing tons and tons of research and I've heard good and bad and I think one of my biggest fears is that I will fail???? my family I supportive of me getting the sleeve done and I feel I'm doing it or all the right reasons one my health and two my kids!!! Did anyone ever feel this way?

How has the post-op been?

Hello All, I'm currently in the process of meeting with surgeons to discuss surgery and what needs to be done before I get my date. I have gone to the classes and on Thursday I'm meeting with the surgeon and then I guess psychologist and nutritionist from what I was told all in the same day. The last class that I went to I was handed the book with information on all the types of surgery's I have decided to do the sleeve and feel very committed to doing this change I have two kids 4 & 2 and I want to be able to run and play with them without running out of breath... Lol I have taken the first step and have completely stopped drinking soda ' oh man that is hard but I figure I'm going to have to stop after surgery why not stop now right? Well I'm also really scared but know its all for the best and I'm glad I found this app and I can talk to people who are doing the same:-) I wish you all luck. Alex
