I know of someone that used him and was very pleased. Where are you from? I'm in Corinth.

I started my preop diet July 15th and was sleeved July 31st. As of this morning I have lost 103 lbs! I am so proud of me!! :-) Im not yet half way there, but I WILL reach my goal. I am so thankful for my new lease on life.

I started my prep diet on July 15th. I weighed 418. Surgery was July 31st. As of this morning I have lost 103 lbs. The best advise I can give you is make sure you are all in. But also remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint. There will be hard times, times you will feel discouraged, but attitude is so very important! You HAVE THIS!

That is so awesome! Congrats!

I was on Clear Liquids only for the first week. And have been on full liquids after that. So about a month and half. Counting preop. A month since surgery.

July 31st for me. Lost 29 during the preop liquid and 23 since surgery. Total of 52 lbs. :-). I'm still on full liquids. Will advance to soft food Sept 5th.

My hubs bought me a crusher similar to the one pictured above at Walgreens. Just put the pill in and twist the top on and pill crushed! I have to crush mine for 3 months so it was a good investment.

All policies are different, but mine started covering the sleeve in 2011. I would call and speak to someone at BCBS. Best of luck to you!

Mine was also clear liquids only. For 2.5 weeks. I did not cheat at all. I was to afraid to! I lost 29.7 lbs during mine. My surgeon was very proud of me. That was the best reward.

Never trust a fart. So true. I call them "Sharts"....

I also have to crush mine. Maybe you could do that.

I was on it 2.5 weeks. I was pretty proud of my progress. :-).

Surgery was yesterday. I just got home. :-). Everything went really well! Lost 29.7 lbs on the liquid diet. My dr said had not been so faithful on the diet, he would not have been able to do the surgery as my liver was still enlarged! He had to make a couple extra cuts, I have 8. But the only pain medication I had was for the 2 hr trip home. I had to walk 20 laps (which equaled 2 miles) before I could go home. I'm also an a clear liquid diet till my follow up with him a week from today. So thankful for all of your prayers and encouragement! So glad to be on the losers bench!!

Awesome!! Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers! My day is Wed!
