Welcome Welcome Welcome

always room for another newbie

sleeve in 3 weeks, exciting!!

many people have great experience with surgery in Mexico

did you receive info on pre-op??

what you should learn about drinking, eating - many other rules???

or does that info come to you after surgery??

can you get a NUT (nutritionist) close to where you live?

she/he would help you with a lot of things

hope you've read alot of good info about the sleeve

you can never read too much

knowledge is POWER!!

good luck bud

speedy recovery

@@Bellaitalian -- You fooled me. Oregon is nice, but I thought you were calling from Italia.

Congratulations on your surgery date.

Try calling the hospitals that are in reasonable distance from home. They usually welcome outside patients totheir support group meetings.

If you haven't already, check on whether there's a BP group in your area by going to the "Forums" tab, above, then to the first option on the drop-down. From there, follow the obvious bread-crumb trail.

Best wishes.

Well hello @@Bellaitalian

Thank you!

Yes I have been doing research for almost 2 years now. Lots and lots of info!

I am in search of a nutritionist near me and I need to work harder on a support group.

I have been in counseling for a few years, but know how important a support group is.

I ordered all my liquids, Proteins, supplements and 3 books that look helpful.

I have watched a ton of videos on being sleeved..... Videos specific to Mexico too....

My boyfriend will be with me and he works with a Mobil Vet Surgeon. He does anesthesia and laparoscopy surgery almost everyday so he knows some great questions to ask. I feel good that he will be there for me.

I am more excited but still nervous...

Welcome I am brand new too!! Good luck with everything !!

You might be able to work with an RD in the bariatrics dept. of a local hospital or get a referral from the dept. to an outside RD who is knowledgable about sleeve. surgerat sof pe.

Nervous is good.

Pardon the typos. The system isn't letting me correct without obliterating everything.

Hi... I am just starting mine too. Yep older. 65. My only concern. I am from pa. Going to seminar on the 25 th. Ready to get started, but also a little scared. But I guess I would be a lot scared if I continue on with these chronic ailments.
