Can you eat bacon w your sleeve? Just a slice... lol

Lol saganaki

Too funny. I found this thread searching for bacon lol

How exciting!! Let us know how that goes. They prob make me do all liquids for pre op but im ready for it. Your date is soo close!!

He asked me that too and i dont want to have children so I'm goin back on the pill after the surgery. I too don't want the skin Lol that is one of the main reasons i just don't want ds. I went on YouTube to research and all the people i saw looked sick like they had lost the weight to fast or it could be vitamin deficiency too. I prefer the sleeve. I cant wait!

Thats great. He told me because my my bmi is so high, its 57!! And i was like no way lol i thought it was mire like 49 which is still high but 57??!! And i weigh 335. So i have abt 130-150 lbs to lose.. i think i will be able to get it off w the sleeve only because im determined to have as least amount of skin as possible lol...

Yes i agree.. im not goin to stress over it.. im just goin to try to get myself prepared mentally. Im so excited for you! Did dr prachand recommend the sleeve for you? He recommended ds for me and i just didnt want that.

Very cool!!! So u did that prep class already? I cant get into it until oct 21st... so happy for you.. whats ur surgery date?

It might be better to order a boiled egg.. if they sell them that way..and maybe some fruit or oatmeal...

Thanks. I wish i had alot of options but i have ppo and referrals are a pain...and aside from the date of the prep class i like the surgery team.. my surgeon is dr prachard (excuse spelling).. has anyone else used him at univ of chicago?

Not sure why some things post and some dont lol... anyway dafierce i subscribed to your youtube videos. Thanks for sharing..

Dafierce1 i like ur utube vid.. i subscribed????

Congrats to everyone that has been sleeved and everyone on their way to it! i will be havin it done at univ of chicago... i did my 6 months at st james center for bariatrics in olypia fields but they only do bypass and lapband there so had to get referral... the surgeon suggested i get the DS however im afraid of rerouting so he said i could do it in 2 stages... sleeve first and if i have good weight loss i wont have to do the 2nd part of rerouting... at univ of chicago u have to ho thru a 1 day PREP group class before u can have the surgery... the phych told me it fills up very fast and the next one available is 10/21.... i was hoping to be able to get into the sep class but no such luck... hopefully the time will fly by..

Not sure why my comment didnt post..newbie lol... im w university of chicago too... Dr Prachard... dont have a surgery dat yet because i cant get into that PREP group class until 10/21... i hope to hav b4 thanksgiving

I am w the university of chicago too but prob wont have til nov... i cant get into that PREP group class until 10/21 ???? but other than that so far so good

Thats wonderful!! Are u taking the pill? If u dont mind me asking. Im reading other threads and hear you become very fertile when u start losing... i dont want that lol

Thank you! My dr wants me to get ds but i insisted i want the sleeve so he said i can do it in 2 parts... hopefully i have good weight loss w sleeve that i dont have to do the 2nd part... rerouting scares me.

These comments are so encouaging... i went in wanting the sleeve and my surgeon thought i should get the DS since i have PCOS... i dont want to do that cuz im afraid of the rerouting so he said i can do the surgery in 2 parts... the sleeve first and if i have suffucient weight loss i dont have to do the 2nd part of rerouting.... i am praying i lose enough on the sleeve... i see people that are heavier than me have great success w sleeve.. im 335 right now. i guess the pcos is the monkey wrench lol...

I was reading thru this because i really have questions and didnt understand all the smiley faces... too bad.. but thanks for all the comments that were still there.
