I'm a newby on this site (just a reader, thus far!) and I wanted to drop a quick topic ... I just found out yesterday that my insurer has approved the lap sleeve for me! I couldn't be more excited/scared/nervous/giddy but, if you've already gotten your sleeve, you know what I'm referring to.

Please drop me a quick note to share the good, bad and ugly of the "must knows" to help me from having some sort of hideous gaffe or boo boo!

I wait to hear from you and yes, I really do want to whole truth! :coolgleamA:

Diane,

There are a couple of great threads already that you may want to read:

"Weight Loss Surgery Do's and Don'ts"

"What to Pack for the Hospital"

And then there is the Pre-Op Forum, which is chock full of questions and answers about the pre-op journey. There is also a post-op forum for things you may be curious about, including how to care for your incisions, what Vitamins to take, what should you stock up on before surgery to make life after surgery easier, etc.

Good luck on your journey!!
