pizza, mmmmmm, yummy. Scrape the toppings off one slice, immediately through the crust in the trash, and slowly chew, chew, chew your very small bites. All of the flavor, no carbs, and you've scratched that itch!

Oct 14 for me. I started this journey in Dec 2014. Been a long time, but my final consult with the NUT is on 24 September, and pre op diet begins 29 September. Best wishes to all of you!

Jennifer, I got your email and have tried to join. Got a message that said that the content is unavailable? BTW, I am not very skilled at FB. I signed up for it for the sole purpose of connecting with others for WLS support.

I'm scheduled for October 14. Can't wait!

Greetings:
My name is Rick, I am 59 years old and have been fat my entire life. I am happily married to my best friend for 39 years, we have two wonderful daughters and four grandchildren. I am a retired Corrections Administrator, and have decided to get my sleeve so I can see my grandchildren graduate from college, get married, and begin families of their own. I have been active my entire life, despite my excess weight. I am finding that my constant dieting is no longer producing weight loss. My BMI was 42 when I began this process of qualifying for VSG, it is now 39 with comorbidities so I should be eligible for insurance coverage. We love to travel now that we have time, and are hoping that my weight loss will allow us to remain active for many years.

I'm sleeving October 14 in Michigan and I'm new to the forum. Would love to connect with you all!

You can answer, "Either is fine with me.", when asked, "Would you like a table or a booth?"

You spend and entire 2 1/2 mile run holding up one side of your pants or another, because by the time you realized hey were gonna shake right off your butt, it was too late to turn around and go back home.

Hey everyone I just had my gastric sleeve surgery on Monday am still in the hospital. Surgery was scheduled for 1 PM however I walked into the operating room at 4:15 and was in recovery by 5:25 cording to the doctor and my family. after waking up in recovery the only pain I had was back pain from all the gas used in my body. On a pain scale 1 to 10 my pain level was a 8-9????, they quickly gave me something and I dozed back off????. I spend the next few hrs in recovery waiting on a empty room. I was in my room by 9:30pm and by then was in no pain at all. As a matter of fact I felt so good that I started walking at 10pm for about 20 mins Monday night doctors and nurse was very surprise that I felt so good. I also had no appetite even though last time I ate was Saturday night. On Tuesday I spend the day going for tests and started drinking drinking liquids for the first time. My first slip of Water made me very noshes however I did not throw up or anything. After that I switch to a different drink and feel better. Because my my stomach was still swollen I felt extremely extremely full like I just went to a all you can eat buffet twice in the same day. I felt very miserable most of the day ????and could not drink more than approximately 20 ounces of liquid. Doctors told me once I'm able to drink 64 ounces or close to 64 ounces I will be released from the hospital which should be sometime today.
Currently I am no longer nauseous my pain level is very minimum I am already taking crush medication instead of through the IV.
On a pain scale 1 to 10 I feel like a 3. ????

I had my 6th appt 7/1, and received a surgery date of 9/2.

14 Oct is my scheduled surgery date. I've been jumping through the hoops since Dec 2014. Was initially scheduled for surgery in early September, but previously planned trip forced a delay. Glad I found this group.
