Hi! Congrats on your Anniversary! Yay! My surgery day is 6/26/13 in the a.m! Wow!! Wishing you all the best on your journey!

Im looking forward to not being hungry all the time tho!

My EKG was perfect!

I also agree that the elevate glucose is the liver reacting to less calories and doing what it always has done--liver dumping! With time it will all mellow out...the liver will realize it wont with this battle...the sleeve will work and do its thing! Im not sleeved yet 6/26/13 is my day! Yikes im nervous!

so you now have to eat more to keep your sugar up? Wow! Have lower blood sugars keeps the weight off! How do you feel in general?

be okay for the surgery? I had my medical clearance appt this week on june 10th. The surgeon gave me my surgery date for june 26th. My A1c is at a 9.2 right now. He put me on a 2 Protein shakes and one lean cuisine a day for Pre-op diet Personally Im starving and weak and headache-y. I take metformin 1000mg 2x a day; Humulin N 10 units at night; glipizide 5mg 2x day; levothyroxine once a day All these meds in my system plus so little calories is making me cuckoo! And moody! lol Thoughts feedback?

Sounds good! I am confident and super comfortable with my body now! I can only imagine later on! Watch out hubby!! lol

I am not sleeved yet....soon 6/26/13 I keep wondering about libido and sex !! I can only imagine I will be wanting MORE of it and be able to achieve better flexibility during sex! ahaha! My hubby is going to be one happy camper! Or maybe even hide from me after a while! I know we cannot have sex right away but eventually I will be ready to do the wild thing! ahaha! Lets talk about this ladies ! No time for shyness! lol

My surgery date is coming up 6/26/13 Im curious as to what I should take with me... What should I pack in my overnight bag? I know I need Gas X strips and my cellphone/charger... What about toiletries? What should I wear? A comfy summer dress? or just yoga pant and t shirt? I would love some feedback! Thanks

Wow that is great you guys! Glad to hear you are doing well.... Soon enough it will be my turn!

My surgery date is 6/26/13 I just started my pre op diet wednesday....I am diabetic on all sorts of meds...I feel faint and weak...and light headed... I keep thinking...can I do this? Is this right for me? Will my diabetes and low thyroid go away? I wanna new chance on life!

You look great!

Anyone have gone through their sleeve surgery with this hospital? Pre-op diet is in full effect right now! Surgery is coming up in two weeks Dr. Mun is my surgeon...he is attentive and straight forward feedback/thoughts

ahahha! Menudo!

Do you mind sharing with me some tips on your low carb diet? Im starving!

on my own! I have never been pregnant in my life! I got married in 2004 ( no bc) and we tried to get pregnant for so long with so many unsuccessful cycles we just gave up! I did the HSG test, endometrial biopsy all that! My paps were always normal. I could never qualify for IUI because of my diabetes--insulin resistance--I did opk after opk...It just never worked out! My ovaries gear up to ovulate but never actually do! My hormones including hypothyriod (low thyroid) is just all over the place! I hope with the surgery I can begin to get back in the normal range of blood sugar/hormones and my weight! I wanna beat this pcos syndrome! Im tired of the mood swings and anxiety! I sometimes feel bitter and resentful because I cannot become pregnant as easily as all the other women in my life! To them it comes like clockwork! For me...NOT at all! So I am hoping/praying/ putting my hands(life) into the surgeons hands.... I am hoping that all of us pcos gals can attain all our wants and needs---cheers to a healthier lifestyle and a NEW lease on life! Hugs to you all! Have a great night!

I just saw the surgeon yesterday! He put me on Pre-op diet which consists of one Protein shake for Breakfast ; one Protein Shake for dinner and one sensible meal like a lean cuisine or smart ones! Dr. had said this pre op diet is used to shrink the liver ...I am soo hungry...how am I NOT supposed to crave food feeling like this?? I am on metformin 1000 2x a day; glizpzide 5 mg 2x a day; Insulin NPH 10 units at bedtime once a day Ive tried the two shakes and lean cuisine today; and I just feel so weak and light headed! I wanna eat a Peanut Butter sandwich so bad right now! I need advice please!

I just wanted to say HI! I had my consult today with the surgeon! south bay in Harbor City california with Dr.Mun! Omg! I cant believe this is happening
