  17. Thank you everyone for the incredible support and advise.
  18. I check with my pharmacy, and the medication I take doesn't come in liquid form. I'm also interested in what vitamins I will have to take.
  19. I want to thank all of you for responding to me. It feels good to finally have support. Today I am going to go to the vitamin store to sample different protein shakes. I currently use "Pure Protein." It is good, I just wondering if there is anything better. My doctor wants me to do just liquid for two weeks prior to surgery. I don't have any problem with that. I'm concerned about not being able not to be able to swallow my large pills that I need to take. Can anyone help me out with info on the pills? Thank you again.
  20. Hi. Have you had your surgery yet? None of my friends are supporting me with my decision. My best friend hasn't spoken to me since I told her a couple of days ago. I'm very excited about having the surgery on May 11th. I would love to make a "sleeve" buddy, for support. My brother will take care of me for a week afterwards. That God for him.
  21. I went to my surgeon on April 1st., 2015. I have a May 11th surgery date. I'm not getting any support from family and friends. Everyone says that I'm taking the easy way out.
  22. I live in Boca Raton. My date will be on may 11th. I'm 5'4 and 215. I'm not getting any support from friends or family.
