Hi. So I've finally decided to do the sleeve. One month in to my 6months needed by my insurance company (BC/BS). I'm 30, 5'10 and weigh 275.5. I'm very nervous. Any tips will be much helpful. Looking for a buddy who will also have surgery in 5 or 6 months

Hi!

I'm not the buddy you're looking for since I already had the surgery, but I am in New York and would be happy to message with you about surgeons you're considering and so on.

Also, there are subforums and extended threads for cohorts with the same month of surgery. I don't know if there's one yet for 3/17 but there may well be -- I'd go searching around if I were you.

Good luck to you!

Thanks! What part of NY are u in. How long ago did u have surgery? Any tips?

Hi my name is Krystyne and I live in Vermont. I have BC/BS as well. I will be having surgery in 3-6 months. Im looking for a buddy as well so I can go through the process with them

Hi there,

I'm not in NYC but am a native NY'er now living in LA. I was banded at NYU in 2008 -- my revision surgery is scheduled for March 6th -- I'm also in month 3 of the 6 month diet. (Also, a fellow BC/BS). Where are you having your surgery done?

Hi Kristenmh,

I live in Chicago . I have BC/BS

I will be having my sergury in March or April. What diet are you doing? I can't seem to lose any weight right now. I would like to lose 10-15 lbs before the sergury.

i gave up all soda and liquor/wine and started doing a Protein smoothie for Breakfast every morning. I'm also mostly vegan -- so i've been eating ALOT of Beans, tempeh and tofu. my goal everyday is 60-80 grams of protein. my personal goal is to lose another 20-25 lbs before surgery.
