How long.. I just had a couple bites of eggs im starving.. I hoe that didn't mess anything up

Im having mine in dallas, texas just got down here. Are you guys on preop diet

Yes had the lapband done in 2010 Thank you for the prayers.. I feel like I am but I guess the normal nerves.. my prayers are with you too.

Hi guys my revision is on tuesday morning 28 may.. me and my husband are on the way to dallas.. I am having second thoughts.. before leaving I was holding my 1 year old loving her and giving her kisses.. and I had a thought what if something awful happens and this is it.. a fear came over me.. am I making the right choice

Where did you have your Sleeve done.. I am scheduled next week and so very nervous of what to expect when I wake up.. are they going to control the pain?

I am right there with you.. I am never on top, and I feel bad because my husband always has to do the work.. so I can't wait for the day to be able to take control and feel confident in doing that..

OH and my surgery is this Tuesday, 28 May.. I am so nervous and excited at the same time..

Good morning, I am having my surgery at Baylor Trophy Club, not the same hospital, but who is your surgeon? I am from Oklahoma and Dr. David Kim (actually Dr. Holden doing surgery) in Colleyville, Texas..

Thank you guys for all of your comments.. God bless you!

Thoughts and prayer are with you during your surgery.

I am a a member of these forums.. Im sorry to change the topic, please pray for the State of Oklahoma in the city of Moore.. 7 children (3rd graders) died at a elementary school (drowned In the basement while taking shelter) with the possibility of 30 and the death tolls are rising at 55.. my heart breaks while watching this diaster unroll.. I was in the city of Moore when the tornadoe was entering the limits, I thank the Lord for making it out possible for me to escape safetly, I have a 1 year old and couldnt imagine the devastation of what these parents are about to face.. please send your thoughts and prayers.. thank you!

Yes they told me that I would be having the staples too, I questioned that but it is to get us to come postop and they do heal better, did they keep your pain level under control?

Getting sleeved the 28.. a week away

Thank you for your feedback.. Please keep us posted Janiadurl.. and I hope your trip to Texas is safe.. good luck with speedy recovery.

I am sorry to hear about the pain. I am so very nervous about waking up and be in extreme pain. Yes, I asked if I would be getting a catheter or a drain tube, they said no on the catheter and a possible on the drainage tube. I will be getting sleeved on 28 May, I am just ready to get it over with and start my new journey. I am so very nervous about putting any weight on my stomach, they told me that i wouldn't be drinking anything the first day after surgery, but would start after my barium swallow to check for a leak, is that what happended to you?

I googled some today and there was some bad reviews and some excellent ones.. I think it depend s ob the patient.. well I wish you the best of luck..

Well, just FYI.. I am right up to surgery.. and I just finished with my Educational Class and History & Physical, which were the beginning of this week. We have a leak test the follow day of surgery. They do a leak test which you swallow the barium, kinda of like an Upper GI. To see if there is a leak. My surgery is at Baylor Medical Center at Trophy Club, Dr. Holden is the one acutally doing my surgery. I have only met Dr. Kim once, and that was at my initial eval, which was back in December. I have received nothing but a great experience with him, I just haven't read any reviews on Dr. Kim and the procedure from other patience. Where did you get that information, so maybe I can read up.. Thanks!

Why are you wanted to change over to Dr. Nicholson. Has your experience been unsatisfying. I have my surgery scheduled for 28 May. I am very nervous too..

Are you in dallas? I just had my cardiac testing this afternoon.. have history and physical tomorrow.. theu seem really nice.. im just getting cold feet

Im getting my revision in dallas, texas.. has anyone used dr. David kim and if so any feedback

Happy to hear you are doing so well.. I am having my revision on May 28th and getting more and more nervous the closer the day gets. I am having my cardiac clearance on this Monday and History & Physical. Getting all my ducks in a row.. I am so praying that my journey is smooth sailing.

Good luck to everyone, I am so super jealous my date isn't closer.. Not looking forward to the pre-operative diet thou, but can't wait to be sleeve.. I am so planning my last meals.. I feel like addict.. it's awful.. But God Bless everyone..

Ok, so there is always was to regain, if I feel like I have lost to much..

Thank you.. I just didn't want to have all of the excess weight.. but anything is better than I am now.. It is a chore to just bend over and tie my shoes... seriously, is that not crazy, and I am only 27.. I am wasting my youth on this dreadfull life.. I have a daughter that I want to have energy with and play and enjoy her being a toddler. Thank you!

Good morning to all, ok another questions I know you guys can help me out with. I am 27 years old, I am 5'8" and approx. 251... I hold my weight pretty good, I am curious to the average weight people loose. Is there a point when you loose to much weight? Should I be concerned with this? How much is to much on loosing weight? And what can i exspect on the weight I might loose. My goal I think is 160, should I be aiming for something lower, like 145? Remember I am tall (see picture attached) Should there be questions to ask my surgeon, maybe not take out the entire 85% of my stomach? Please help. Thanks!
