Husband and wife team will become " sleevers" next week on Feb. 1, 2012. Wondering if there are others in the area that have already had surgery or are newbies too. Counting down the days on pre-op liquid diet.

I might try to make it too. I just barely started the process (ie went to the conference and am awaiting my first appt) But I know have a support "team" in place is always good

Hi everyone! My name is Lacey and I'm going to the seminar at kc bariatric with Dr hoehn on Monday Feb 11. I'm excited to get the process started! I live in parkville. Anyone else north of the river?

My sleeve was 1/23. It's a journey!

Man, I hope all of you can come to meet each other on the 23rd. This is sounding like a great group!

I am planning on being there, sounds like fun:) I am excited to meet other people that have been though the same thing.

I won't be there . That's too far of a drive from Parkville. Have fun!

I only have a Costco membership right now. No Sam's Club. I tried some other protein drink that was recommended (body by Vi ?) but I did not like it so I sold my bag to someone that uses it. I still am struggling to find a protein drink that I like and that my sleeve likes! I plan on being at the meeting. Can't wait to see everyone again!

The body by vi ones gave me a headache (I have issues with sucralose/aspartame - going to be the hardest part of all this for me ). I have found a couple of protein shakes that don't have it in them. One I found at Walgreens (can't remember the name right now) and the it works ones. Hoping one of those tastes good after I'm done

The only protein drink I have been able to tolerate is thd Premier Protein from Costco and pure Protein drinks. I have a few different protein powders that I can't tolerate.

Hey all! I am from Topeka. Got sleeved right here in T-town with Dr. Hu on 1/28. Just checking in to say hey and introduce myself!

Welcome NewKristen. Good luck on your journey.
