  1. Thanks so much! Oh I sure hope so!
  2. Hi! My surgery date is the 26th! We're close! I start my liquid diet tomorrow! I have 7 days!!! How about you?
  3. I too wanted the sleeve all along until I was told about my severe acid and how it has damaged my esophagus already and I have a hiatal hernia that also needs repaired. The sleeve will make the acid much worse and for a lot of people who don't have prior issues find out later they get terrible heartburn. Once he told me the acids can cause esophageal cancer, it was a done decision. I wish you luck with your choice and surgery!
  4. My surgery is April 26th and I will be starting my liquid diet tomorrow!!!

  20. Wow congratulations! That's super exciting news! That's huge! I'm so happy for you. Your family is going to love watching your transformation! So nice they're are on board with you. My family also. I have a husband 2 kids and my mom all know. They are all supporting me. My daughter says I should just go to the guy since I don't have a whole lot to lose but she doesn't understand how hard it is to stay away and not eat a whole sleeve or girlscout cookies! I'm 193 right now so I'm lucky I'm not as heavy as some people but I'm only 5' and my bones are brittle from all the lower weight I carry from my hips down. A lot of strain. Right now my foot is fractured cause of my weight. I wanted the sleeve. It can't have it so RNY it is
  21. Oh that's neat. Are you excited???
  22. Ahhhh ok. Good luck to you!!! Where are you located? I'm in Pittsburgh Pa
