Hey you!!! Hang in there....it does get crazy! I like the Aloe Vera Juice plan! My doc took the initial weight for Medicare so hopefully that works for you. I did both procedure at one time outpatient. Then you only have to drink that awful stuff one time I am so pleased for you! I have not looked back one time! Feel great and love watching the scale going down. Smiles, Linda

Hello everyone! I'm back! April 1 sleeve. Everything is really going well. Down from 215lbs to 183lbs????!!!!! Yes 32 pounds total! Back to playing golf 3-5 times a week! Life is good! I am so very happy with my decision. I cannot believe it! Linda

What an accomplishment! You DID it and should be very vey proud! CONGRATULATIONS!

When I got the checklist from my doctor each thing on the list had to be completed. Several medical tests to be sure your stomach,esophagus gallbladder,and intestines were clear and functioning. Also a breathing function test was done. Each item was a checkpoint for your individual Health situation as a preventative protocal to help prevent complications. Your surgeon will help you through this!!!! You are asking all the right questions!!!!!

Congratulations All! My sleeve was April 1....April Fools Day! We all need to celebrate! Started driving yesterday. I feel like I am free at last! Just kidding. Really impressed with everyone's walking distances. I need to get back with the program! Been walking those 10-15 minute spurts! Think I need to increase my times. Feel great....still losing everyday. Really exciting! Cause I know it WILL slow down. Want to savor this honeymoon! Linda

Yes I agree it was pretty awful! Just keep walking and smile a lot! Keep them wondering what you're up to!! Do not go home til you are really ready. Keep pain at a minimum with the Meds! Best advice the nursing staff gave to me!!! Never let it get past a 5 on their "happy face" scale! Let us know how you are doing! Linda

I too as a trained school psychologist was nervous about this interview. Mine was so non-intrusive! Bacsically she took a dieting history! One more time!!!! LOL! Do not worry!

bubble toes....FABULOUS NEWS!!! Let us know how we can support you as you start this new chapter of your life!!!

What a huge disappointment for you! Like all other medical situations...get another opinion. My first seminar 2 yrs ago I was told I did not qualify...not heavy enough! What a shock! Just keep researching.....talking To others here...trying all the steps of pre-op! You will gain support here!! Linda

Sending positive thoughts and prayers! A new chapter beginning! Smiles and Hugs!
