First time poster. My surgery is scheduled for March 15th. I'm super excited and can't wait to start this new journey. Any other's scheduled for this date? I need a surgery buddy.

hi LA buds - i had my pre-op tests today. all clear for Monday - aaahhhh!! my Dr. said that Dr lavin might know of a support group on the north shore - do any of you know?

also, ive been on shakes plus low carb dinner for two weeks. he said its to shrink your liver to make the surgery easier

Hey, post if you find a support group on the Northshore. I had my sleeve March 6th & would live a group to talk w/.

Ok, will do...

How are you doing with your post OP? I am scheduled for Monday

Had my surgery yesterday! First night at home tonight. Pain is manageable with the meds they gave me. The only problem im having is with the gas pains....its awful!!

Glad you are doing ok. I used Lavin and was sleeved on the 11th. I used gas x and walked to aleviate the pain.

How are yall feeling?

m doing great. My sleeve was one week ago.I don't even feel like I had surgery. I've lost 9 pounds this week. I'm having a hard time getting my protein in but doing great with my water. I'm not stressing about the protein. I figgure it will increase once I am able to eat regular food.

Each person is different, it's according to your liver, hi from Baton Rouge!

I'm from New Roads. Small world!
