I am in Plymouth Mass, having surgery at Tobey hospital in Wareham with Dr Streeter. I have done my psych eval and one if two nutrition appts. I can't say i am new as i done these steps two times prior. Have changed mind from bypass to sleeve. Meet with surgeon three weeks ago and have an appt Tuesday for pre op testing and next week for medical clearance. Thinking surgery may be scheduled for August or early September

At Tobey been here since Saturday afternoon with severe dehydration. Had a barium swallow this morning and apparently getting an upper gi endoscopy.

Do they know what's wrong??

I guess there is nothing "wrong" just a little swelling. Finally trying full liquids again today. If they stay down i can go home.

Glad I found you guys. I've been wondering how you were doing. Sleeved by Dr Streeter on 6/19. I'm over three months out and feeling fantastic!! It takes time but it is so worth it! I don't really know how to use this forum, how do I get notified of a reply?

So glad you found us. I can't remember how to get notifications, i am trying out the new app and its so different from the old one. I do get email notifications on this particular thread. I am doing better. Down 37 pounds. Still having a hard time with Water, i just don't like it. Have found that i prefer warm fluids so lots of decaf coffee and tea for me. Do have a juicy juice apple juice box every day that is delicious. Also still drinking one meal a day to help with fluids. Aside from that i feel good. Heartburn almost not a problem at all. No longer crushing pills.
