How does everyone deal with the social pressure to eat while eating out?
I'm really open about my sleeve. My procedure wasn't covered by my insurance. I paid a pretty penny for it. I'm not much for fancy shancy stuff, but i pride my sleeve. It's my most fanciest accessory yet. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

Wrong decision?
My physician put me on prilosec from day 1 of surgery. Not for reflux but something about protecting stomach linning. I already had nexium at home but he stressed ONLY PRILSeC!!!! I opened up capsule and ate the little sprinkles inside for 3 months. HE STRESSED IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

Got my surgery date today!
From what i gather the pre op diet is to prep liver 4 surgery. Its to shrink liver just a tad so that it doesnt get disturbed as stomach is pulled out. I was on 5 week pre op diet. I learned alot about my addiction during this time. Best of luck to ya!!!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App
