Being an RN, research was the highest priority for me. And it didn't take long to see the immense benefits of the sleeve over the band. I wouldn't recommend the band to anyone. I see no long-lasting benefits and many, many dangers. It's the sleeve for me, July 10th. Thanks for sharing your story. I found many similar ones while researching.

Congrats on your sleeve. I am scheduled with Dr Aceves on July 10th and cant wait! Luckily for me, I'll be driving...well, my son will be dropping me off and then picking me up four days later!

Hi all! In preparation for my gastric sleeve surgery on July 10th with Dr Aceves, I would like to order and try multiple protein drinks to help me get through the clear liquid and full liquid portion of my post op recovery. I figure I better know what I like before the surgery. So those of you who have been there...any suggestions? I am a fan of chocolate, vanilla, banana, and strawberry but not too many mixed fruity flavors. Thanks for your help!

I have been trying to decide the same thing. My son is the only one that knows and I think until its done, that will stay that way. Mostly because I'm going to Mexico and I know the reaction that will bring. After the fact, well I'll decide day by day.

My surgery with Dr A is July 10th! I thought I was going to have to postpone it because my overtime at work was cut and I didnt think I'ld have enough money, but just as I thought all was off, what do you know...they need me!! And overtime is back. The money is in the bank and Dr A...here I come. I can't wait!!

You all give me such hope! I am scheduled for my sleeve surgery on July 10th and it seems soooo far away. I had to buy new fat jeans today...I wore a hole in my old ones...I hope to NEVER buy fat jeans again!!
