I think that most people who find out and have such negative comments, know absolutely nothing about the vertical gastric sleeve procedure. They are ignorant and have not done the research like we have. They have no clue what they are talking about. Ignore them. :-)

Pre op tests completed.. whew~
Ekg
Labs
Urinalysis
Chest xray
I'm so excited(for all of us)!!!! It's almost sleeve time Yayyyyy :-D

Can anyone give me their opinion on this Protein supplement? Good/bad?? Thanks for any replys. :-)

Thanks everyone! ! I plan on taking the rtd cartons to work, and the powder with my blender at home.
As Fiddleman stated, he's concerned about the quality of Protein. ( so am I)
I'm being sleeved in a week, so I'll show my surgeon and see if he's Ok with me using it.
I also got some chocolate premiere from costco, And some Unjury chicken Soup.
THANKS AGAIN! :-)

I have one of those friends that has really nice clothes. she wears them once or twice and then gives them to the good will. she's smaller than me and I asked her when she was cleaning out a closet last time to give me her clothes and they are all adorable and most have tags on them but they're all like a size 9. ( I'm a size 20/22) so I hung them up and I can't stop looking and dreaming of the day I will be able to fit into these adorable clothes, it's a great inspiration for me!! My surgery is in 3 weeks :-)

I can't wait to not worry about sitting on a plastic chair at a picnic or get together and having it crash down on the floor with me on top of it.
I can't wait to be able to put on shoes, socks and pants without getting winded.
I can't wait to be able to stand for long periods of time without my knees and feet and lower back aching.
I can't wait to stop my cholesterol meds and cpap machine!!!
I wanna walk PAST Lane Bryant, not INTO Lane Bryant.
Also, I can't wait to show my side by side before and after photos :-)

Thank you everyone for the great advice and kind words. It would really be in my best interests to start getting used to to not drinking before or after meals and putting more healthy food into my mouth. I am determined this time!!! I'm going to make it!!!

Hi everyone! ! I'm Alene from California and my surgery is scheduled for July 8 yipeee!! My pre op diet consist of clear fluids like broth, tea, popsicles, one week before my surgery. I'm so excited for all of us!!!

Hi everyone! ! Well last October I tried to get my band to sleeve revision. The surgeon was able to take out the band but was not able to revise me to a sleeve because of all the damage the band had done to my stomach. So my surgery is scheduled for July 8th and I'm so excited!!! it will be 9 months from when I had my band taken out and hopefully my stomach has healed enough for my surgeon to do the sleeve!!wish me luck♥

Thank you so much Kristina :-) I am so happy for you too!! Keep in touch and please let me know how you are doing. I had to laugh when you called the band, evil little things. ..lol!! They certainly are. We're on our way!!!

I got it!! I got the approval for the sleeve!!! Here we go again. I'm going to wait a few more months just to make sure my stomach has fully recovered from the damage that the lapband did to my stomach. Yay!! ♥♥♥
