After almost of research. I finally booked my surgery with Dr. Almanza on June 6th. I am very excited to be starting a new chapter in my life. I have been overweight my entire life.. And I am so grateful to God for him giving me this opportunity! I want to send my prayers to all of you, I ask that He bless you in your quest to obtain that ultimate goal! If anyone has any advice or words of wisdom. Know they are welcome. I just feel so blessed to share this with my community. I have an overweight 10 year old daughter, who I am seeing deal with the same issues I dealt with as a child. I fugure that if I can can on track with the tool of the sleeve, I can help her. Because I coulnt help her until I helped myself! I praise God for all of your stories!

I am also going to Dr. almanza...May 18th. The date is coming so fast. I am excited and a little nervous.

Im June 6th as well. Finally, someone with the same exact date as mine. .We're less than a month away. Good luck!!

Good luck and congratulations in your new journey! I am having surgery with Dr. Ponce De Leon May 10th and the closer you are the harder the wait is!

Good for you!!! I'm outta here tomorrow and on my way to be sleeved by Dr.Garcia the 11th!

Congrats on getting booked and taking control! It is a wonderful feeling.

I am scheduled for June 09th with Dr Almanza!!!

I am scheduled for June 09th with Dr Almanza!!!

I am May 18 with Dr. Almanza! Very excited and nervous too. I will let you know how it goes. I expect everything to be great! :-)

Thanks,

Again I am so excited..I am trying to get everything planned. What to take is the most important thing I am trying to figure out! I hear about Gas X, heating pad, loose comfortable clothes, gauze, anti-bacteial wash among other things. I am just going to come outand be direct, I need someone who knows to answer. I have been married 15 years, and my youngest child is 6. So I have not had a sex restriction in 6 years. Is anyone familar to if there may be a sex restriction after the sleeve? #therearenostupidquestions

I am so glad someone asked that. I don't know the answer, but I have wondered the same thing. I assumed it would be the same as for a csection -- 6 weeks. Anyone know?

I believe the correct answer is "whenever you feel like it" lol.

I'll let you know how long that is when I get back from surgery next week

That is one of the questions I asked my dr. I haven't been sleeved yet either...but my doctor said 2 weeks. I thought it would have been longer...but it's not food! Lol... So maybe he told me right?

MGM and bogeydog, thanks 2 weeks sounds okay.......I guess that question is more important to me than what I need to pack at this point! LOL.....just wandering...It seems the incision might cause some discomfort, but I will ask, best to believe it!

GeeBee, Good luck with surgery Please let us know how it goes!
