So happy for you - you will not regret your decision! I was sleeved by Garcia on 8/3 and had a great experience! Im not sure where you live...but one of the biggest enjoyments for my husband and I was the weather! We live in Tx. and we left 107 degrees with 90% humidity to lows in the low 60's and highs in the mid 70's with a breeze the entire time....it was great!

Any questions Id be glad to help!

Thank you so much I can't wait!! I live about a hour north west of San Fran. It's been really hot here not like TX but hot it's a dry heat . How many days did you fast before your sleeve ? Should I start taking Vitamins before ? How do I see your pictures? It's great reading all your post's. Hope to talk to you soon .

hey there! Im excited for your upcoming sleeve! Im sxd with Dr Garcia on Oct 27. I started an Atkins-type diet (low carb....militant style: 20grams or less) a week ago to shrink my liver and as per my coordinators recommendation, that's awesome but not necessary. They do want you to do some kind of pre-op liver shrink a couple weeks beforehand, but she said the day before surgery have a light Breakfast, then Clear Liquids until surgery the next day. So broth, Water, gatorades, crystal light, etc....if you peruse the main site, there is a plethora of info re: Pre-op diets, week before, day before, and Post-op :-). Keep on looking, and asking ?'s, use the search feature, and read read READ! Thus site solidified my decision to have the surgery. Good luck and keep us posted!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
