I'm doing mine in Reno through western bariatrics. They have been amazing. For pre op I had to do a psych eval, steps to success class, meet with a nutritionist, an upper gi, and get a letter of support from my doctor. The diet was a gradual step down from meal replacements to full liquids two weeks pre op. there was another class to that I had to attend where they taught us what post op eating would be like. I'm ready, mostly, for surgery tomorrow
Hello all! I'm 27, mother of one, been married 6 1/2 years and am morbidly obese. After an incident in the hospital in June I decided that I needed to make changes. I was too scared to do the bypass and felt that the lap band didn't work well, so I decided I wanted to research the sleeve. I found it to be very promising, and am scheduled for the 27th! I'm excited, nervous, and happy, etc all at once!! I can't wait!! Thanks!
