I was wondering it before and after surgery if things like sugar free lollipops were permitted. I ask because I know being NPO the night before and most of the day or all of it I'm gonna be dying of thirst. I get mean and ferocious. Lol

I'm so excited about getting it. NOT looking forward to the liquid diet before or quitting smoking but I know it will be worth it.

I found a chocolate peanut butter cup flavor and even tho I don't have to drink them just yet I LOVE this flavor. I dislike the fruit flavored ones. They taste like dishwashing soap to me. The EAS Carb control is good also.

I just scheduled mine and faxed all the paperwork. I'm excited a little scared, relieved, but anticipating this soooo much. I'm finding my smile again ) mine is May 26th

To have people open doors for me. To laugh again. To wear the clothes I've bought over the years that I knew wouldn't fit but thought were cute. To not ask my fiance if he has clothes I can wear. To have the desire for sex again and not have heartburn while doing it( if tmi I'm sorry). To have the energy to play with my grand babies...

I am also 5'8 . I weigh 223. As far as weight goes, between 140 and 150 is very nice. You keep some curves and I'd you weight train a bit your muscles will show a lot of definition and those curves are really sexy as well as help give you a little 'lift' I wish you the best of luck and when is your surgery? Mine is May 26th.

Somehow this new tablet has a mind of its own. I will now finish my post... I want this day as it will be one of the most memorable days of my life. Pus knida be like a mini vacation/birthday present. My husbands is the 28th . Mine is the 29th (he's a day older than me but tells me he's my elder so I have to mind.lol) Um we both know who's the boss. I am so looking forward t this. I feel like I'm getting a second chance at life.

What a great day to have surgery

The things people say!!! I was even told I was going to Hell for being vain. Geezzz

I made the deal with my fiance that to have this surgery I would stop smoking. I want to schedule at end of May. I haven't quit yet but I know that I want to exercise later on and I won't be able to if I can't breathe. Good luck to you

@@LuckyT Thank you so much. I was worried because no one seemed to be responding to this post..You really made my day. I immediately showed my fiance, just to ease his nerves a bit too.

I had a DVT years and am supposed to be on coumadin but havent taken it in at least a couple years. The PTO was never right and I couldnt afford to go see dr. every single week. Im told this makes me high risk. I know blood clots are serious business. Anyone else out there that has had the surgery and previously diagnosed with blood clots?

Good luck and do keep us posted!!!

Planning to have the sleeve sometime in late May. Havent actually scheduled yet as Im not sure just how long a passport will take to get here. I know some say they didnt need it but I say better safe than sorry right? Im pretty excited. Picked Dr Ortiz as my doc. Ive heard such good things about him and I have researched him as well as others..I feel safest with him. Cant wait for the new improved me!! No more looking down or away when people look at me because Im ashamed of fat I am. No more shopping at Goodwill because the clothes in dept stores cost more for larger sizes..Im ready to LOVE myself!!!

I am planning on around that time also with Dr Ortiz. I am nervous about scheduling due to the fact that I dont have a passport and dont know how long it will take to come in.

@@Nickole75 WHEre exactly did you have yours at?

sorry for some reason this posted 3 times...think my cat walked across the computer while I was out of room

I am wondering about Passports, payments, health evaluations pre op, Who do you see after your back in the States? And how do you even go about setting up an appointment or even get accepted for the surgery? Im very curious.

I've been thinking about WLS secretly for quite a while. Afraid of all the negative and hurtful things people would say. Don't we all want to look and feel better about ourselves? Not to mention getting healthier too!! I finally confided in my fiance yesterday and today he tells me he will pay for it on ONE condition. I have to quit smoking. Well Goodbye Mr Marlboro man cause I'm giving you up and exchanging you for a beautiful wedding dress and a life of healthy living.

I know you like horses..I do to although I have never owned one but always wanted to. You may think Im crazy (my family and friends think I am) but I LOVE the way a horse smells. I have stopped on the side of the road and got the horses come to me just so I could smell them. To me its the most relaxing and calming smell in the world...wish Scentsy made a horse smell.lol

Inspiring to me!! I go Monday for a consultation and Im excited,worried, and a little frightened. It helps alot reading others post. Best wishes to you!!

Thank you for the info...I am also looking into the sleeve. Very apprehensive about this because my friend that had it done looks like a scarecrow now. I am the type that eats whatever whenever, Happy, sad, bored, it doesnt matter. I LIKE food and that has me worried that the lap band might now work.
