Well I'm not going to tell anyone how much my balls weigh.... Jeepers ... lol

And I'm Milton or Milt

Sure thing I'm not hard to find, 6'5 and fat and ugly... But I'm a little shy

Yes I think that cause its a big life change and I can't do it without the tool to help and I want to do things and look good along with better health, that's what I tell myself, and my sleeve date it the 19 of June and I'm committed to it, but still in the back of my mind I just hope I loose the weight

I love bowling, I should get back into it, my sleeve date is the 19 of June, I didn't know there would be lift restrictions, I better read over my papers

Glad your doing good, hopefully your incision pain will go away fast. Thanks for posting, I hope mine goes good like you.

Have my sleeve surgery June 19th, be glad once it's over, I don't have jitters yet not sure if I will get them, I'm so committed to this life change, portion control is what I need. Be glad to do the things I use to do as simply as putting on socks or tying shoes with out passing out and looking like a pretzel trying to do this feat. I don't know how others feel but fifty to me is just a number and I want to live better and feel better, and my 54 birthday is June 13. Good luck to everyone on your journey in life , may the lbs shed and the laughter loud..... Peace

I lost over 250 lbs on this one diet I went to at a weight loss clinic, I was starved all the time, went there for about 2 yrs, but it was a battle of my hunger, even tho I cheated a lot I lost weight but as soon as I quit using their product the weight went on just as fast if not more, I'm committed to this sleeve to help me on my portion control. My liver is ok as far as size, I just have a two day clear liquid diet before surgery, I know when the Doctor examine me his said my liver was ok as far in size, I eat lean meats, love fish but I eat lots and my weakness is ice cream , mash potatoes , and mustard potato salad and love any kind of cheese, just portion control I have a problem with. But congratulations on the 36 lbs of weight loss, are you ok with the diet your on now? Not hungry , satisfy when you eat? If it was me and I answered yes I would just stick to the diet your on and forget surgery but if not go with the surgery, I know I can't and it not being lazy ether. Good luck on what ever you decide.

I just can't imagine what you went through. Do you feel it was still worth getting the sleeve? And are you losing weight? And how far are you from your goal weight?

Well I hope everyone is doing good on waiting on the 19th.. Has anyone gained weight waiting for surgery? I think I have since January on my initial weigh in, but I been on a strict diet of mostly protein, the past 9 days , the 17th I start my clear liquid diet, this is bothering me on the gain , this Wednesday I go for pace and i will just have to find out. But good luck to all of you

Let me rephrase the question, since going to see the surgeon and being weighed has anyone actually gained weight before surgery?

So does it take much to fill you up now?

Stacy go ahead and get the Sleeve and get it over with and congratulations on your wedding, I just have to the 19th of this month to get sleeved, Wednesday I have a pace appointment ; nerves has not set in yet; I just want it to be over, I'm trying to stick by my diet but its tough and I don't start my clear liquid diet till the 17th, if I can get by that I'm sure I will do good. But any way Bride to be good luck!!!!

It will give your body a chance to absorb the proteins and nutrients so it don't get washed away.... That's basically what I was told

After all these month (since Jan) my date to get Sleeved is the 19th as strange as it may sound it seems so far away, Wednesday is my pace appointment , so when I start that then the ball will start to roll.. Any pointers on the liquid diet, I might have to ask the sherif to lock me up in the Scott Co. Jail just so I can stick to the diet for two days.....

Good luck

Has anyone gained weight before surgery?

Has anyone gained weight before surgery? My sleeve date is the 19th of June

I'm so glad I don't smoke, if I had a Doctor that would do a sleeve on a person that smoked I would run as far away from that quack, insurances agree with the Doctors who won't operate cause it cause more health problem down the line. Most of you are young and feel you are bullet proof and you feel fine now ,but when you get middle age and have COPD and taking breathing treatments, let alone how much ulcers you will have on your stomach. Take it for what it's worth on these warnings. Yes I see some of you it's your choice to smoke so do it in your home and not outside in my air.

Thankyou all, I thought that what is was but was not sure

Thankyou and I got my appointment @ Schneck, I like the hospital and the staff is so friendly and I'm close to home

Does anyone know what pace is, I have a Pace appointment at the lab and was just wondering. Thankyou!

I only have a two day liquid diet no protein drinks, just chicken broth , water, tea.. Then I go the 19th for surgery, that's what I'm doing now but havering protein drinks on my own and its tough, good luck to you I'm sure you will do good
