All you can eat restaurant
My wife & I recieived a card from our surgeons stating we've had bariatric surgery & can only eat a small portion, most places will give you a child's price but they are all different. Only found one that didn't honor it so far.

Yuck :( protein shakes yuck :(
My Doc recomended Body Fortress, it has 30 grams of protien per serving & the chocolate has a very good flavor. It's not as bulky if mixed with water.

I am 5 mos post op--- how do ya'll feel about this surgery for a teenager?
My grandaughter is going to consultation for WLS & I support her 100%. I figure if she can have a permanant solution at an early age she will have a much happier life than yoyo dieting for decades like I did.

Chinese food
I would wait at least 8 weeks for beef or pork in it. .

90 days out from band to sleeve revision and down 51 lbs
I had my 90 day check up today & I've lost a total of 51 lbs. My doc is very happy with me since he went through everything with my band for 5 years. I'm a lot happier with the sleeve & so pleased with myself that I made the decision go with the sleeve.

My band being removed. I'm trying to decide.. Sleeve or Bypass?
My Doc does both & all I know is every time I go to my Doc's office there's at least 1 or 2 by-pass patients in for a revision from a complication. I'm just glad I chose the sleeve.

For those who had band to sleeve in one surgery..
Had my band to sleeve surgery at the same time. Doc said surgery went very well & my band wasn't emptied beforehand.

Endoscopy
I had an endoscopy before my sleeve surgery, there's not much to it.

Life after the sleve....
I'm 4 weeks out & can drink as much as I want. I'm eating about 3/4 cup of food at a time but I'm getting hungry quicker & more often as I go. Did anyone understand that we wouldn't experience as much hunger with the sleeve than the band?
