I just did the revision February 1. And have had no Gerd since then. I'm in Oregon also. It is the best decision I've made. I've heard minimal about the linx, but my surgeon doesn't offer it. The recovery time from rny was less than half of the sleeve.

It's so hard! Every where I go, people are eating. I just came from a movie. The smell of that popcorn is overwhelming. My friends are always eating Cookies and chips.
I go up and down, but I really need to take 10 lbs off and stay in that weight range. I am sick of having nothing to wear.

I am with you nana I now have no way to contact the people on my friends list and I miss them. I started a forum saying we want our chat room back. Please go there and tell them that you want it back. I have written Alex that is the one that discontinued it but he just says the same thing as he told you. If they don't bring the chat back I won't be staying on this site. If you find another site with a chat let me know and I will join you.

Thank you VSGPapi, I am sure I will in time.

I've been hungry too. BUT I have noticed if I do drink 64 ounces of Water my stomach is pretty full. I've been really spending time trying to discern head hunger from stomach hunger. Definitely think I have both. I am not allowed anything but liquids yet. Just hang in there and do exactly what you are supposed to. It's pretty fool proof IF we don't get creative in following the rules. Hang in there hopeful2loose2014. I am 8 days out and its harder then I thought it was going to be but we have had the surgery so now lets make it successful!! 'm rooting for you

Surgery in 3 day's (April 23rd). I am so nervous and excited to begin this new chapter in my life. Good luck to all who is having surgery this month. WTG to those who have already had surgery this month.

Yes, I am due to have mine on April 23rd

So it looks like it will be in May that I will be having my sleeve surgery, as I have to see their endocrinologist and he is booked up until May. My appointment with him is May 8th, I have an appt with the surgeon on March 18th and could have had the surgery in March if the endo was so booked up. I am on the cancellation list for him. So I am hoping there will be a cancellation as I really wanted to get this surgery done before summer. My daughter is getting married this summer and would be nice to wear a nice dress that isn't a plus size.
Do you think there is still a chance I could wear a normal size dress before her wedding in Aug if I have my surgery in May?
Thanks for listening

I know that Walmart and walgreens both carry it in a four pack. I just picked some up to try and see if I would like the taste before buying a case of it.
Hope this helps

So far I have had my labs done and have attended the Welcome Group for Bariatric people who are going through the same thing. I have met with the PT and the NP both went very well. The NP prescribed me all my Vitamins I will need, she also said I would need to see their endocrinologist as some of my labs were abnormal. So that appointment will be made on Monday. On Tuesday I will be seeing the Nut and Psych. I also have to have a sleep study done, that will be done next week as well.
Then I finally will get to meet with the surgeon, so I am looking at possibly a March sleever. Does everyone have to have an endoscopy done?
Thanks

Thank you all so much for your kind words and above all your generous support. I have 2 people in my life who are very supportive and all of you. I will just concentrate on all the positive around me as I become closer to starting my journey. I wish I could go to bariatric weight loss support groups but unfortunately there is none in my area, I live 2 hours away from the hospital and surgeons office, so would make for a long drive. I will just get my support and information on here through all of you.
Thank You Again
