Hi everyone! I'm Veronica, I'm 31 years old and my consultation is Feb. 10th and my psych evaluation is Feb. 17th. Any advice since I'm nervous?? My insurance and surgeons office is not going to make me wait 6 months for surgery because I've worked with 2 other doctors to lose weight prior. I'm hoping after the 17th we can schedule my surgery date for March or April

I've done a ton of research and it's hard to relax when I'm this excited...lol! Is the book available on Amazon? ?

It is available on Amazon, it has lots of info on the sleeve, I think everyone should have to read it. Good luck.

Hello!

I would devote as much time as possible to reading this site, seriously like a couple hours a day if you can. Also, the books I read were the Big Book (already mentioned) as well as "Ultimate Gastric Sleeve Success" which I liked a lot as well and is more post-surgery diet oriented.

All in all though I learned 99% of everything I know from reading this site for hours each day for like 2 months. :)

Good luck to you :) :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
