I just sent a request!!!

I'd be willing to join a support group as well. Like many others, I'm not telling anyone besides my mom and daughter. Nobody else knows and I'd like to keep it that way!

Pre

I want to be prepared...so those of you in the throes of it: What are you taking to work everyday? What kind of broth? Bullion? How much milk is considered too much I'm a day?

I wish your wife the best. It's sad we have to find ways to beat the system, often to our own detriment. She's gonna get there. Tell her to keep her chin up.

I feel the same. I was accepted for surgery, but so low a BMI, I'm terrified to lose any weight. I keep eating! I hope insurance accepts you. If they don't, you can have surgery in Mexico for $4500.

Hi to you. I'm a 30 BMI and scheduled next month for my sleeve. I've gotten a lot of information and I've heard we lose at a slower rate.

Woohoo!!! Congratulations! Mine was scheduled yesterday for Nov. 18. We will be surgery buddies!!!

I had my gallbladder out July2015, and I wondered if this will feel similar. Something I read repeatedly is how the muscle is sore and incisions hurt. Do our internal organs not have pain receptors??? I mean, they're taking a huge hunk out of our stomachs and stapling the wound!

I just got my date yesterday: November 18!!!!

So far looking like Dr. Illan. I haven't made a final decision yet. His office has offered me my surgery date and I'll know by this time tomorrow what I'm going to do. How was Dr. Alvarez? How are you feeling a week out? Still on Clear liquids?

I agree with your statement wholeheartedly. What an experience you had, and I'm glad it was all okay at the end of the day both with your surgery and with your family.

You too. I'm about to schedule my surgery right now. Crossing fingers they have my day!

Congratulations on your surgery, and welcome to the group. I'm also new here and just learning, so I don't have an answer. Just wanted to say Hello!

Thank you so much for this word of warning. I already got that feeling from the staff there, and wasn't feeling like I was going to choose her. I am happy I got some confirmation. Since my last post, I was contacted by a coordinator from Dr. Illan. I was extremely impressed with their attention to detail and how friendly and informative he was. I will be in contact with him again soon. I will let you know if I end up choosing this doctor. I am finally getting excited!
