Hello everyone,

My name is Ashlei. I have just started my process to be able to get the gastric sleeve done. I have my class on the 9th of July and I meet my surgeon on the 22nd of July. Can anyone help me with what to expect when I meet the surgeon for the first time. I'm kind of nervous but yet really excited.

Consider buying "The Big Book of the Gastric Sleeve" or just explore the site. You'll find LOTS of good information! Welcome to you!

Ok thank you.

I'm new to this as well. My name is Flo, I'm old school so I'm way out of my comfort zone. My surgery is 12 days out. I'm scared and excited at the same time, so much that I'm making myself sick. I've been reading post for about 4 months now and decided to double Dutch my way in now. My starting weight is 279, my goal is 150 and I've got a apple bottom that I'm not expecting to go away, but here's to hope.

Welcome, Flo!

Hello flo

Hey flo,

All new to me too! I am two weeks out from my surgery and start my ore op diet tomorrow. Nervous energy doesn't even cover it, I am sooooo scared and feel a little alone.

Ashleio 84 well it all depends on your insurance. I have to meet with the nut for six straight months, before i can get approval for surgery. Psy,bari,surg,nut, plus different test.

Yes I have done a 6 month supervised diet with a medical restoration center. And have done my own off and on last year. And the 6 months this year.

I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you. I wish it was july so I can get all this stuff over with so I can do the surgery.
