I was just wondering if anyone has had the sleeve that has been over 400 pounds. I am wondering if there are extra complications to worry about and how much weight is likely to be lost

You'll pee those fluid right out! Are you up and walking?

@@BLERDgirl yes I was up walking just as soon as my eyes would stay open and I walked all day and night long. The nurses were very impressed with my dedication to walking but the reason I was so dedicated was about every lap I did I would get out a good burp which always made me feel so much better! I just got a little cup of water to drink and the nurse said to take an hour to drink it I looked at it and thought no way will this take an hour lol I have 10 min left and just a little half way through it lol who knew

Hi, my sleeve date is Dec. 16 and I weigh 423. My doctor doesn't do the protein liquid diet before surgery. They told me to start Atkins diet 2 weeks before surgery to help shrink my liver. I'm excited and nervous.

I'm required to do liquid for two weeks but I really feel like Atkins would be the smarter choice. I'm sure I will have a constant headache on the liquid. Congrats. .so excited for you!

I'm pretty sure my doctor does 2 weeks of Optifast pre-surgery and then about 3 weeks after? I am not sure what else is included in that other than shakes. In the past I have done a juice "fast" and never felt hunger/headaches/stomachaches on it so I am optimistic that it will be a breeze to get through the pre-surgery bit. Still waiting for a surgery date. (Impatiently, I might add.)

I will be having surgery on December 15, I began the process at 450, and am now 431. I start my pre-op diet on December 1

Good luck. Did you just get your surgery date? I still haven't gotten one. Congrats on already getting down 20 lbs! I am sure you'll drop plenty more on the pre-op diet. Keep us posted.

Thank you! I got it at my appointment two weeks ago, I was fastracked because of my insurance, so I knew the goal was a December date. It all seems so fast!
