Can you use your machine after surgery or is there some time when you can't use it post op?

So happy for you! Lets get this done!!!!!!

Any new word for you AtlantaRed? I don't see you on either list?

the name of another provider - I need to be a better proofreader

I would try calling the office and ask for the name of another provided, the coordinator at my doctor's office gave me 2 or 3 names so I could get it done as quickly as possible, you may have to drive a bit but it may be worth it .

Same date for me!

Spoke with a friend today who is 5 weeks post sleeve - her advice was to not depend too much on tasting and buying protein drinks pre-op because the ones she liked, she couldn't stand post-op as your preferences will change. She also said when you find what you like look at on-line sites because many will ship for free with bulk amounts and will sometimes set up a recurring order for you. Maybe this will help someone else, I don't think I will bother with the drinks pre-op other than to maybe have a small variety to try when I get home.

Hi All, I am trying to read through all this but it is getting long so I will have to do this in chunks. I am very happy for all of us and I welcome conversations so we can all support each other, this is great! I have a surgery date of December 17, I am both scared and excited - I so want to win this battle. I still have to have an endoscopy and a few other pre-op things between now and my date. Oh yeah, I also have final exams for grad school which will finish on December 12th. My classmates are going to Africa on a medical missions trip on our holiday and I elected to stay home and have this done as I am trying so hard to be healthy again. Best wishes to all and lets get this done! Tammie

Congrats and glad you are doing well!
