OMG nectar was not good. I tried it and it made me sick for two weeks. My taste buds are not normal.

Add me to the October sleevers My suregery is Oct. 9 :)

I am Oct 17th woooo hoooo

I'm having the vsg on the Fort Carson Army base. He said the recovery tends to be easier. I have large breast and he said with the 5 incisions I would have a incision at the top of my tummy and I figured that would suck because my boobs rest on my belly where the incision would be. He's done several single incision surgeries and I'm confident that I wont have any problems. Plus he said that none of them developed hernias' date=' so I'm confident that I more than likely wont either.[/quote']

Hey there. Ask your surgeon to talk to the surgeons at Walter Reed in Bethesda, MD about learning the single incision method. Lol. I'll be getting my sleeve done there on Oct 1 and I'm dreading the pain from the incisions and going home with the drain. Yikes!

Best to you

Mine has been changed! I was October 24th now I got a call today and it is next Friday!!! So September 28th is my new date!

Great I wish they would move up my date congrats

I wish that would happen for me. I am scheduled for the 24th. Seems so far away. I have an appointment with the surgeon tomorrow morning.

My surgeon knows how to do the single incision :) He told me that with the single incision he rarely puts in a drain, so more than likely I wont have a drain. I'm sure you will be fine and I'm also experiencing pre-surgery jitters.

My insurance had changed its policy so I was going to have to wait and do the 6 month diet but since I already had all my requirements met they pushed me up a month!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!

Start liquid diet tomorrow. Sleeve surgery scheduled with Dr. Kim at forest park medical center in Dallas, Texas on October 1st.....
