Wow! You have done so well!

Good luck and speedy, uncomplicated recovery to you.

I am so sorry to hear that things are not well for you again. I am praying for you.

Good luck to you both and may you have an uncomplicated recovery.

@@mdlange Hey I tightened my bra in by a row of hooks today! Down seven pounds so far.Doing things like cleaning out my freezer. Would you believe I found a package of peas from 2013? Hmmmmm.

@@Kellsbells I am also scheduled for Feb. 3rd! I am the second surgery that morning so the say it will be about 10:30. I'll be thinking of you going through it too!

I would suggest you contact BLERDgirl. She has significant allergy issues and could probably recommend something for you.

Those developments are disappointing. Sorry you have had to deal with them.

I was told I could never have NSAID's again after the sleeve.

Good luck to you both and fast recoveries!

Pretty exciting news! Congratulations.

@@kimpossible67 I can understand how you feel. I thought it was probably a joke. The question seemed absurd to me. But who knows?

@@mdlange Not down to the next set of hooks yet, but I am down four pounds in four days. Hooray! You are probably down even more.

@@mdlange How's the lethargy today? I guess my dietician knew what she was talking about- no headache today (day three of pre-op diet)! I hope yours has left too.

Good luck! Hope you have an uncomplicated recovery.

@@mdlange Yes, I have started the pre-op diet. It really isn't too bad, although I've had a headache for two days. The dietician said that should go away after three days.

Well I finally have a definite date- February 3rd. Now I can start panicking in earnest!

Best of luck to you and an easy recovery.

I asked my nurse about international travel after surgery and she said they want us to wait three months.

Good luck and speedy recovery!

Well, thank you, that is some good sleuthing!

Peakey Blinders- a BBC series 1&2 on Netflix now. Really engrossing!

Wowee! Fantastic weight loss, good for you!

Hey- I am 62 and will have my sleeve surgery in February. I am having some illogical doubts lately. I think about the future and think well.....what if we have a severe depression, the economy goes south and vitamins become hard to get- then what? Or I think what if food becomes scarce and can't get enough protein? Mildly frightening survivalist stuff, which I've never been troubled by before! I think it is probably just the usual pre -surgery jitters manifesting themselves in unusual thoughts. Oh boy!

Well......I had all my appointments( Nut x2, Psych x2, blood work, sleep study) finished by the end of November. I then needed to finish telephone consults per my insurance company- that was finished December 23. I saw my surgeon on January 12th. Paper work submitted to insurance last week so- just waiting for their approval to come through. Pre-op meeting Jan.22nd. So the nurse said I could have surgery 2/3, 2/10, or 2/24 depending on when we hear from the insurance company. I will have to start my two week pre-surgery diet when I definitely have my date. I guess February is the magic month!
