I've been over on the lapband support site for a while and just got told today by my doc that he won't have a lapband in for my scheduled surgery next week. Military hospital....won't be in until next year. I don't want to wait so it looks like I might agree to the sleeve instead. Still next week....but I have some studying up to do before I give him my answer tomorrow.

I am in Alaska and have been with a nutritionist since May. I have lost about 23 lbs so far and have 70 more to go. I am at the lower BMI cut off....but was told I am pre-diabetic, pre-hypertension, pre high cholesterol and I have had PCOS for a long time. I am happy to have weightloss surgery as a tool in my belt to get this horrible weight off....I have given birth to twins twice and two more kids as well.

Pre-op diet starts tomorrow with no fat....then after surgery, 3 weeks of liquid followed by mushy diet for a while. I have already turned into a gym rat and I love that part of the changes I have already made....built some great muscle tone under my fat. LOL

Welcome! Do your research, there's a lot of differences between band and sleeve, but I personally found the sleeve a better choice for me. Let us know what you decide!

Hi blessed4 My surgery is Nov 11 also. I am on a liquid fast for two weeks. If your doctor said a clear liquid diet did he give you a clear supplement to mix with Water. If not I would call his office and asked how you will get nutrition for the weeks before surgery. I do have a product I brought online that you mix with water and it is clear. Maybe he is thinking you should use something like that.

What product did you buy? I'm looking for things to try. I start my 10 liquid diet on Nov 15

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
