I am getting sleeved November 19th. Congrats on getting a date!

I get the Isopure no carb clear drinks at GNC and or Vitamin Shoppe. Also have them online on various Vitamin places and Amazon but then you have to worry about how they will ship considering they are fragile! Also I Water down the drinks a bit because some taste too sweet to me. I haven't been sleeved yet and they are already sweet so Water works great. Probably could use some diet juice too as long as sugar content is ok. If you do that you can mix and match flavors too. I prefer the fruit flavors to the tea ones but the lemonade one is good too. It's refreshing.

My date is november 19th too!!! I understand how you feel. I am not nervous about the surgery really because I'm in the medical field and find it fasinating. But I am worried about recovery time at home. I'm not a good patient.

Sorry I'm having the sleeve. Didn't notice the group before I replied! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

I'm am x ray tech at a trauma center and I haven't been sleeved yet but my surgeon told me 6 weeks because of the lifting I have to do. And as far as how to take time you can take time under FMLA if you are a full time employee. Also depending on how long you're off there is short time disability. Be careful going back too early. You don't want to get hurt or end up sick. Also if you get busy drinking and staying hydrated is super important. It may also be difficult to have the energy required to work shifts if you're in the early stages as well.

I'm from pittsburgh. Having surgery in november at UPMC Magee Womens hospital

I am excited to see this page. I have been going through 5 months of diet and pre op things to get ready for my November 19th date for sleeve Surgery. I'm almost done with all of my requirements. Only meeting with the NUT again and my psych eval then wait on insurance approval.
