Calling All Long Term Sleevers: How Much Food Does Your Stomach Hold Now?
mochax replied to Dooter's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This was a good example to share. Thanks! Makes me feel like I can still have a tiny window or normal, just restricted some, which is fine. -
What advice would you give someone that's getting sleeved in September? From exercising, eating, vitamins, and anything else you could think of that they should start doing more or less of. How did you prepare & what would you've done differently?

Congrats and keep us posted on your journey!

Support Groups Before Surgery?
mochax replied to 4me4them's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I attended a few different classes. I wanted/want to obtain as much info as possible. I even recorded the class on protein and vitamins. The support is great not everyone thinks alike so there are questions others have that you didn't think of, in return that's more knowledge your gaining. Hang in there and go to as many as you can. This is a life changing event that will take place be aware & stay informed! Good luck to you. -

Do you tell "new" people that you used to be heavier?
mochax replied to Comfy_Blue's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also want to change my job location due to the new transformation I will be embarking on. I've lost about 15 pounds now and my coworkers are noticing so I constantly hear "oh your loosing weight". So I know later it will get more irritating. Most importantly I don't want to share what I've done being that they are always asking now. My advice to you is go for it. New beginnings! -

Losing weight but possibly not looking like it...?
mochax replied to O-Town Body Rock's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's true Earthly people don't know what weight looks like. I for one didn't/don't. My friend look to be around 170 so I thought, but she's actually 201. I said no way I wouldn't have thought that at all. -
Amazing!! Congrats!

If insurance pays for it post op that would be great!

Very impressive! ????

Hampton Roads Sleevers? Any one out there?
mochax replied to swimbikerun's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks Vic. I have 4 more months on my own for insurance purposes. I'm exercising about 2 to 3 times -walking- a week and my pcp has me on counting calories to better prepare. I'm at 1800-2000 a day. I'm 5"6 about 252 was 263 but have loss some. I have attended a wellness class to help prepare as well. Any beginning info would be great. How did you prepare and what tips can do you have. -
I don't have a date as of yet either. I'm reading as much info as I can here. Everything has been helpful. I'm excited, anxious and nervous. I'm seeing dr Fontana and he seems to be great. I'm concerned with the preop diet I've been reading it's all liquids. What happens if I slip up and eat something, would the surgery be cancelled?
