Hi wigster, I'm a newbie here too, so bear with me I think it's totally NORMAL to have jitters, you wouldn't be human if you didn't. This is major surgery and the surgeon is removing part of your stomach that will NEVER be able to be reversed. Trust me, I've been exactly where you are....questioning what the heck am I doing. I haven't been sleeved YET....but I'm on my way, my surgery date is 2/3/14. I know for me, the sleeve is the procedure I'm most comfortable with. My grandma ALWAYS says, "Angie, think positive" so that's the attitude I'm going into this surgery with. I will make this new tool work for me, I have to, otherwise it's not worth it.....just my thoughts, hope it helps

Mon? I hear ya and yes we will do great!!! I've been having some last minute food indulges. But I think that's normal. Do u start liquid on Mon? Where r u having it done? Angie

Honestly, I haven't tried them yet, waiting for Monday when I start my liquid diet

How do I get a ticker?? HELP

Sent from my pretty much everything you listed is ok. I just got in the mail= , the starter kit for unjury protein, so I plan to use that for broth, going= to order more for post op Trying to get a list together for pre and post op and the hospital stay whic= h us 2 days Angie Also if you want to email my personal email that comes directly to my phone, it is: angiedeale@yahoo.com

Thank you, does Walmart sell it? Weird about the taste.... My surgeon said that the first 9 months are when the weight comes off the fastest, maybe that's when taste buds figure it out

It is but I have chronic daily migraines (get Botox injections every 3 months) and Cymbalta works so its a trade off

Thank you so much!! My surgeon said I can walk as soon as I get to the floor and that's what I plan to do

It's the antidepressants, , Im on Cymbalta for migraines and without a vibrator I would never have one, some of it is between our ears too

Will do

I had my gallbladder out in 07 and I still have issues with dumping, will be sleeved on 2/3/14

Is bear creek the brand of soup? I start my liquid diet on Jan 20 and I'm freaking out!!!! I've enjoyed reading your posts

Wow, just got my date and my head is spinning. I start liquid diet on Mon Jan 20, any words of advice??

I'm using Dr Hawver in Missouri

Hi all, I'm a Feb sleeved. Hoping for Feb 25 date, have my preop surgeon appt Jan 21 and will be given my official date. I'm so excited, can't believe it's almost here. I'm going with Dr Hawver in Washington MO

Yes, she was quite a gem.... Not! Ironically she's the one my surgeon uses

Good points everyone

Sorry that was a typo, brain surgery

LOL. She does probably need her own services

Yes she was a trip, she had me start at 100 and subtract 7 going backwards, now what that has to do with Bariatric surgery I don't know. She even questioned whether I would be successful with the sleeve bc 1) I haven't always been obese 2) I had Braun surgery in 2000 and became a chocolate lover following that surgery and gained all my weight following that surgery. She said the brain us an enigma and how do you know my obesity isn't in your brain.... Um WTH?

She is just a thin European doctor who had a lot of preset notions about Americans in general, she told me as much. I'm just glad it is over, longest hour of my life

She was Russian and I think culturally just a rude woman. I'm just glad it's done and she passed me

So I had my psych eval yesterday and the psychiatrist kept trying to talk me out of Bariatric surgery, did yours? At the end she said she would give her approval, but I found her to be very rude. What was your experience?

Jessica H That's good to know. How long ago did you have surgery?

50notfat, what was her logic for the Cpap machine if you passed?
