Hang in there. I am being sleeved April 29th. It is normal to be scared but which is worse. I have the same nervousness today but I know it is the best tool for me. I am done with 40 plus years of fat and this surgery is the best tool available to me! And I am 53 years old. Keep your eye on the prize

Awesome work. You are doing it!????

Prayers. Am sure you are in good hands. My surgery April 29th and have to travel out of state. Will missy 12 year old daughter but am really looking forward to being around for her !

Finishing up day one of 2 week pre op diet. Actually did ok. los of greens and water. Really like the shakes but always have had ecclectic taste buds! Nervous and excited. No doubt this is the best tool in my forty years of fat experience. The only thing that has given me hope! Hang in there! People here are so supportive!

Best wishes for a healthy and speedy recovery!

April 29th! Just started my 2 week pre op diet today.Using Bariatric Advantage banana protein powder. Not too bad-but it is day one. Getting nervous and excited as the date nears. Never had major surgery before but know I made the right decision! Good luck everyone!

My doctor told me6 weeks because of the physical aspects of my job. Just depends on your physical requirements of your job.

Waiting for Insurance approval. But it is Girl scout cookietime here in Alaska and I was wondering how people deal with these great cookies. I am a GS leader and Cookie parent/manager. Seeing there will probably not be a bariatric cookie in the near future-just curious and also looking for some tips on how to handle the cookie situation. Thank you in advance. :)

Awesome way to stand up for yourself .Student or no student hopefully she realizes that is no way to treat anyone!

Planning on spring sleeve with Dr Lily Chang. Pleased with my consult. Sure things will go okay

Sorry Quease ez

Has anyone had success with the product Quease ex? It is used in hospitals for post op nausea. My hospital uses it for post op management for nausea

What medications are restricted after the sleeve? Alot of the NSAIDS? Are the restrictions temporary or for the rest of your life? Thanks

She should be honored you chose her your most trusted friend to share your life changing moment with her. If you remind her of that just add that one of the qualities you admire about her is her non judgement support she have come to rely on and a major factor in sharing this news with her

Congrats.

Awesome!

Good luck!

March or April. Last nutrition appointment next month. Hoping for approval soon after that

Strong courageous ability to see a problem and solve it. These are qualities we want to have and you have them. Weak people don't go through this process. Keep up the great work.
