  2. Yes, I am a good breather and I always get my fluid in. My doctor wants to take a closer look at my labs. I got in tomorrow morning for blood work. I hope its nothing too too serious.
  3. I was sleeved on August 1st, everything is going well. Weight is coming off and everything. But I have one concern. When I do simple tasks such as cleaning the kitchen (at a slow pace) I get short winded. One day the room started spinning. I knew immediately that if I didn't sit down I was going to pass out. I was standing in line at the store yesterday and I was starting to feel like I couldn't breath but I was still breathing normally. I'm very active and this is not normal at all to me. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice?
  4. You are still in full liquids which means that for the most part, that yogurt and pudding will go right through the sleeve. This, unlike real food that has to digest more, will move right along! I have been on full liquids for a week. And I had my first problem with "too much" yesterday. I had panera's potato and cheddar soup (strained). I was taking small bites and sipping away thinking it would pass like the brothy soup... NOT. I was so full and felt awful until I finally used the bathroom. But as for yogurt, I can eat 6 oz no problem... because its LIQUID. I go on go soft/moist tomorrow. I've already got my smashed boiled egg ready for breakfast! Good luck!

  21. Hello everyone! I got my surgery date last week... AUGUST 1st!! I begin my liquid diet on the 25th. I went through hell trying to get approved. I had all of the required documents and tests completed and I was still getting denied. I keep submitting it, and FINALLY I was approved! I can't wait to start this new journey.
  22. Hello!! I am scheduled for August 1st!
  23. I have gel nails that are long like acrylics but I was told polish is fine as long as its a half-tip... just like a french.
  24. Good luck!! I have Cigna. I was denied three times before my approval and each time I sent them the same paperwork. They really just gave me a hard time for no reason! You have to really stay on them!
