  1. Anyone had their sleeve done by this man? He seems very straight forward but not sure of his experience.
  2. Can you do sit ups and crunches after getting sleeved?
  3. You hit the nail on the head. Lol. For Breakfast I have oatmeal. lunch maybe a salad if anything at all. And dinner I can put it away. I started getting salads from mcdonalds but I still feel hungry. It's like I'm not eating that much to me. So how much have you lost?? How do you eat now?
  4. I'm 26, 5'7"-5'8", 251- Down 9 pounds. I've NEVER been slim, or in shape. REcently diagnosed as having high blood pressure at age 26 made me lean more toward this surgery. I'm worried that i'm not the right candidate for this surgery, as i think i'm too young. Also i'm worried I just havent tried hard enough to lose without surgery. I don't exercise often, but when I did.. I would be hungry afterwards so I would always grab something to eat. I dont eat often now, but i guess when i do i can really put it away. Is this what the surgery helps with? Forcing me to NOT eat as much as i do when i do eat? What changes did any of you have to make in your life after getting this surgery?
  5. I've never been tested for any. Blood pressure is high. But the bulletin on aetnas website indicates it must be 140/90 despite using anti hypertensive agents.
  6. Hi all, today im going in for my first consultation. i'm a bit worried. my bmi has dropped under 40. ik now this is really a good thing, but im worried my insurance will have issue. the bulletin states bmi must be recorded as over 40 for 24 months. I have record of it being over 35, but not over 40. has anyone had similar experience? were they approved anyway? 0157 bulletin
