can someone please tell me how to delete a ticker on my signature...i finally was able to make a new one, but cant delete the old one???

I also use atkins carb control protein shakes they have 17 gr of protien..Is that good for a shake?

atkins is the only protein bars I have every used, is there a better brand with more protein and less carbs out there? the choc peanut butter is 17 grams protein 1gr sugar, and 2 net carbs..250 cal...this is a meal replacement bar..the other ones for snack are about 10 protein..170cal, and 3net carbs...any advice helpful...I really like these but its more about nutrition..thanks all....

I too am being resleeved on 7/4...*hugs* to you and good luck on your weight loss journey...

I was one of the first 5 sleeved . My fundus has formed a pouch called a neofundus..dr hoffman will shave the excess off. Still just as nervouse the second time around...eeeek!!!

Yes, he got married yesterdat 7/5... !!!

Im not doing pre op either...but I think I will be overnight...

Hi I'm from buffalo! Being resleeved on aug 1st by dr hoffman...would love to have some support since this is my second time around and feeling kinda scared....does anyone come here anymore?

Thanks everyone..I do appreciate all of your input it really makes a big difference going into this whole process with your eyes wide open. my surgery is in one month I'm going in for a sleeve revision the doctor did not take enough off of my fundus so this time I'm hoping everything is as it should be.....

I keep reading different opinions on whether or not to use full, low, or fat free...i hear if you choose low fat or fat free they just add more carbs to make up for it...i have found this to be true when i look at the lables...so what to do?? anyone with more information please tell me what to do...I want to make all the right decisions, but when there is so many conflicting reports, it is so confusing...ty

Wow...thanks ladies, surprised they can sell it in the supermarkets...ugh...what is the world coming too??

Someone mentioned the brand name Walden Farms...It supposedly has no calories and no carbs, fat, etc...How can this be??..anyone familiar with this brand and how it works..She said it tastes really good except the peanut butter..I cant wrap my brain around this..I did look it up and what she said is true...would like some more opinions before I go out and buy it...thanks for any feedback.

my surgery is aug. 1st, waiting.............

I am 3 yrs out and i still get them occasionally.....

Hi everyone, I am from Buffalo, and I will be resleeved on Aug. 1 by Dr Aaron Hoffman, so glad to see there is a local support group...Thanks Chili for sending me this way...I need all the support I can get, I am kinda nervous going in for the second time..ugh...I will keep u all posted as I progress to and thru the surgical process...!!

soooo sorry...wow..this is scary stuff, I need to resleeved for a neofundus aug 1st and this stuff makes me wonder wtf im willing to go thru to be thin....are you sorry you did it, or would you do it again??? again, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you....

your still have a feeding tube after a yr? OMG...did the docs say why you guys got a leak? it is my greatest fear, I feel for all of you...I will keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers...

Congrats & feel better!!

Yay, Im glad I will have people to talk to and compare with and share with...thanks everyone, lets stay in touch....good luck to every one going on this journey with me....xoxo

a girl i know got a bezoar right at that site, upper stomach, below the esophagus. then she got a leak...almost died. in ICU, on a reperator..etc...she is ok now, but a bezoar can be scary..thats why i started drinking diet pepsi again, cuz her doc told her colas can dissolve them...who knows what is right or wrong, im just learning as i go...thanks for the support feedyoureye..im sure your ok, you wt loss is amazing and your almost at goal!! good for you!

Is he just revising the bulge or the whole sleeve,My doc said he is only doing the bulge cuz the sleeve looks good. a small part of me wonders if it will be enough...he used a 38 bougie.

Thanks everyone...yes I saw it and was shocked...finally someone like me...dont wish it on anyone, but am not feeling quite so alone anymore...Thanks for all the links, I guess it does happen for one reason or another...lets hope none of us have to deal with this anymore...

Im right here with you, being revised on aug 1st, same issue exactly...good luck to you, im sure you will do fine
