ASKSARAH - Sleeve

Is there such a thing as a PCP that specializes in bariatrics?

Thank you so much! I mean i don;t have enough anxiety as it is. She could have at least supported me a bit. Maybe I should have never brought it up.

i just went to see my PCP and ask for a full panal to get on top of me post op care and she sat there and tried to talk me out of it for an hour. She would come back to it 4 times. she is like my hands are tied of anyhitng goes wrong and you have complications. I said great I will just die then. those are my options. Die a slow fat deathor die a little sooner maybe thinner.. Jesus.

Dr. Ponce De Leon does as well.

I had to have one to cross over the boarder

Well I applied for my passport card yesterday. I hope it arrives in time for Janaury 4.

I am pre op still but I fear this too

I don't think He could comprehend that. I have a 4 year old. And I plan on telling him I am going on a small vacation and you get to hang with grandma. That's all he's gonna hear anyway.

Hi every one. I am looking for a pcp in Henderson. Sw Vegas so I can get some testing done I am having mine done in January in Mexico and my pcp was an ass about the whole thing Any referral would be great

Hi all. Mine is January 4 with Dr ponce de Leon in tj. Mexico !

I read in a book about food and the importance of chewing He said your stomach doesn't have teeth and you have to chew so that your food can digest properly so your intestine can absorb What it needs to from the food your eating

I never quire How to read a food label. I mean I understand kinda but today it hit me. I am pre op and trying to do What I would be doing with the sleeve to prepare and I was purchasing some Greek yogurt and that was easy. My daughter asked me to get sour cream for Turkey tacos. So I read that label. I normally get the full fat kind and so I looked at the label for the fat free and I was able to understand even though It's lower in fats and a slight decline in calories but there is more sugar. So I am staying away from sugar and even though It's full fat it has less sugar and in moderation It's in reality a better choice. I personally had greek yogurt as sour cream on my taco lettus wrap and I was happy with it But for the first time in my life I feel like I have a grasp on labels.

I am debating on whether I truly need one.

I am having my big day January 4 with Dr Ponce de leon. I WILL arrive home on the 7th safe and sound.

I want to hear answeres to this as Well
