My Journey began in November of 2011 when I decided on the RNY procedure. I had to attend 6 months of dietician appointments for my insurance approval and had my surgical consult 6/13/12. I was set on RNY but then my surgeon was sort of leaning towards the sleeve for me. I initially said no because I hadn’t researched the sleeve at all. After leaving his office, I spent the next 2 days researching the sleeve and then had a change of heart. I am scheduled for surgery on 6/28/12 and have decided to go with VSG, mostly thanks to this forum and all of the positive things you all have to say about the sleeve. I started my 10 day liquid diet yesterday and feel like I am going to die! How can people do this?? The protein shakes do nothing for my hunger but I am sticking to it (for now). I will write again as my big day approaches : )

Yaaay, you will be happy with your choice, I know I am! You can do this, dont give up...look at the big picture. The liquid diets are hell for sure but keep the faith...hugs to you!
