Foxy thank you... in not sure... Letsdothis I was very sick in the beginning and I believe that had a lot to do with the weight loss. I'm averaging about 3 lbs a week. The doc says my metabolism has picked up...

My nicotine test was blood. Most everything that is tested is tested by blood. Blood is more accurate, urine is used mostly for glucose, ketones, and protein. I'm 18 weeks post op and just now starting to tell when I'm getting full instead of all of a sudden feeling really sick because I ate too much. Oh what a difference one bite can make. I've lost 80 lbs and average about 3lbs a week. Keep up the good work girls. The loss will come. Next thing you know, you will be looking at that little red dress thinking "wow, I can really buy this now".

Just wondering about the nicotine test i quit but have been using nicotine gum nobody said not to and a friend said it will cause me to fail the test

I'm going for mine on Oct 2nd with Dr. W in Norfolk. Does anyone know what the History & Physical with the nurse practitioner is? Anyone have any other tips of things to expect while at Norfolk General that they don't tell you in all of the classes?

... The nurse practitioner is great. Her name is Val. They hospital is awesome... Not pulling your leg. Everyone was so supportive and helpful. It is a dramatic experience like no other but well worth it. Be sure to walk like your life depends on it. Every chance you get walk. Do all you cab while in the hospital and all the say. I didn't do either and made excuses so when I came home I had a hard time adjusting. Good luck hun.

Good luck! I'm sure we'll be passing each other while strolling through the halls.

Everyone in Newport News who was/is your doctor?

My doctor was Dr. Salzberg at Riverside Weight Loss, in Hampton although the surgery was performed at the hospital in Newport news. I was sleeved on 8/24/12 and feeling great! The only complaint I can come up with is he keeps you on liquids too long!! I need FOOD.

Late post maybe there are more of us... I'm in Hampton getting sleeved by Dr. Clark
