Has anybody attend this? I am curious if they weigh you during this class.

Did you happen to catch though that they claim if you take their vitamins you won't lose your hair? I don't know what to think about this vitamin thing.

Im not concerned about the hair loss. I never had any issues with the band and i think with the sleeve i will be getting more nutrients then before. I think any multi vitamin will work.

Just got back from the initial seminar and yep definitely $400. ???? the doc seemed great, really nice. Can't wait to hear what the insurance expects..

I was wondering of anyone had to do lovenox shots ( blood thinners) and for how long? And is you had a drainage tube afterwards? I know all doctors are different. I will be having bypass.

I had the sleeve. There were no drains. Had the shots for three days at home. I only did two days of them and i was fine.

I had the sleeve. No drain. You do the shot in the hospital and 3 days at home. It's a piece of cake.

Thank you, just trying to wrap my head around everything

What kind of pre-op diet was required?

What kind of pre-op diet was required?

2 shakes per day and for dinner you can have 4 oz lean meat and half cup of veggies. You can have broth, sugar free jello, or popcicles twice a day to help with hunger.

I didnt do the shakes cuz i cant get them down. Just drank water and ate meat

Was it for two weeks?

Yes

Yes

Did you puree your eggs or cottage cheese in the 2 week pureed stage?

I never pureed. I figured by the time u chewed really well it became pureed. You wont eat a whole lot the first two weeks anyway. Lots of broth.

Thanks. I'm 8 days post op and got a little worried today for no reason. I'm mushing chicken and tuna but not eggs or cottage cheese. I'm sure he told me we didn't have to. I think I'm overly anxious from being tired.
