Please share your experience and or advice with the Military hospital before and after care. I am almost done with the checklist but any advice would be helpful. And who was your surgeon?

I have not been sleeved yet but I have completed my checklist (oct 15th) and I have a surgery date as of yesterday it is November 7th. I chose Dr. Harnisch bc I met a couple of his patients who seem very happy with him and he seems like a no BS kind of Doctor.I am also on AA Sleevers and I will keep everyone updated on my progress.I have to start liquids the Doc said start today or by no later than the end of week.

The program is very easy they give you a checklist to complete and then once complete if you are a good candidate you have surgery. I hope you have already been to the info seminar if not there maybe a wait because the program was anticipating being shut down at least temporarily...let me know where you are I. The process and I would be glad to give you info. I completed my checklist October 15 and was sleeved on Nov 7th by Dr. Harnisch who is AWESOME!!!

The program is self paced so you are free to schedule the appointments to fit in your schedule. I started the program Sept 5th and I consider myself pretty motivated to get it done as soon as possible. I am now waiting on the surgery date. I have been treated with respect and kindness throughout my journey. Good luck on your journey. Btw this forum is a great info tool to ask and learn different techniques to be successful adjusting to the sleeve procedure.

Yes get it done before their program is suspended. They are not taking new patients right now since you are in the door you are good for a little while.
