I would not stockpile.... You will be able to get back to what you used to do after a week, ( it took me two days) you can go to the store and get what you need... dont stockpile because you might not like something and you will be stuck with it... Life will be normal

Anyone in New Jersey (north) looking for PURE Protein shakes… 30 grams of protein. 18 to a case, I have many cases. I have strawberry and cream and also vanilla

Has anyone heard of this Recently, US food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials have begun to receive reports about issues with the surgical staples and medical staplers manufactured by the two major suppliers for the products. These suppliers, Ethicon and US Surgical, https://www.schmidtandclark.com/bariatric-surgery

I had the band also, and it slipped, my weight was down and my bmi was under 28. I was approved for the sleeve. I was very nervous and was did not want to lose to much weight. I had the surgeon make my sleeve bigger than most, he did. Now I wish I just let him make it normal.... The sleeve is sooooooo different than the band..... best move I did was having the sleeve

Question, when I first started looking at the balloon, it was only good for 6 months, did that get extended ?

Need your advise

might be good for everyone to share what they are eating

NOTHING... I am sooooooooooooooooo lucky, I can eat anything but not a lot of it

I had the lap band it had it removed after 5 years, the good news is that it did work for me and I lost about 50 pounds. Once the band slipped i became eligible for the sleeve, my BMI was under 28 when i had it.. if you are self pay you should be able to find a Dr. to sleeve you, I lot of Dr's are not doing the band anymore.

I had a BMI of 29 when I had the sleeve, I am 6 weeks out and less than 10 pounds to goal...

I am 6 weeks post op Does anyone else get that burning in the throat while sleeping? I am taking dexilant but that is not helping as I wake up with a score throat every morning…. Is this something from the sleeve?

Had the band for 5 years, it worked GREAT... than it slipped and I went to the sleeve

I had no per op diet either, i asked my Dr. about it because I was concerned food might get stuck in the staples, he said as long as you dont eat after 12 pm the food will be gone from the stomach.

Good luck and rest

Did you keep the weight off after the band was removed? was your BMI 30 at the time you had the sleeve? i can not believe the insurance approved it 2 yrs latter, thats great!!!

If you a revision and your BMI was 30 or less, let me know

It's funny, I had virtually no effects from the surgery, I had the doctor make the stomach a little bigger than usual, because my BMI was 29 at the time of the surgery I did not want to lose too much weight. I felt tremendous have no restrictions pain

No but I cold have

If not what are we looking for in the vitamin

Did you ever find out what caused this to happen ?

UGH !!!

What are we looking for in the Multi Vitamin? Can we have gummy

i only needed 4, but you will know how you feel soon after your surgery

I'm curious to know how you did with the psych evaluation, I thought this would have all come out then. Also I'm not sure if you would have met the criteria with a 29 BMI,leads me to wonder if the doctor submitted in accurate information to get you approved, fraud

I wonder how they got you approved, with a low BMI
