Hey Globe, my nut and surgeon allow milk starting at 6 months out. I am only a week or so shy of 5 months, so I haven't had milk yet. But come 6 months out I will definitely have me a big glass of COLD skim milk. Hopefully it will still taste good!! Deb

Thanks for sharing!! I kinda wonder what had happen to you. I used to love reading your blogs. Keep rocking your sleeve. Sounds like you are doing fantastic. KUDOS to you!!! Deb

So if I hear you right. We will always be cold? Because doesn't our surgery cut out the part of the stomach that produces Ghrelin? Deb

HUH? I never heard of that one. It must be something new like the previous poster said. Deb

Wow... 4 weeks. MAN GOOD LUCK!!!!! My starting BMI was also over 50, but my pre-op was only for 2 weeks. Thank goodness. I will be watching for your blog. Deb

Same here about being cold. I went to the movies today and of course took off my coat and scarf as soon as I sat down. Maybe 5 minutes into the movies I was freezing. I looked around to see if anyone else was cold. Nope as a matter of fact I saw several people with short sleeve shirts on, I tried to tough it out,but I finally had to put my coat, scarf, and gloves on and was still freezing. I take being cold over being obese any day of the week tho!!!! Deb

Best wishes Davida and Kim. You guys will love being sleeved. Welcome to the "Family" and I look forward to hearing about your experiences in Mexico. Deb

I'm glad your husband was there with you. I hope everything is OK. Please update when you feel up to it. {{{{{HUGS}}}}} Deb

Hey VBG, I too have Dr, Hoehn as my surgeon. He is worth every penny spend. With that being said. I too was told at the seminar there is a $500 nonrefundable fee for the support group...etc. However, when I submitted my paperwork, the insurance case manager called and told me because of their contract with my insurance company I didn't have to paid the 500 bucks. I would have paid it anyway becuz I wanted my surgery, but I didn't have too. So what I am saying is maybe your insurance company might have a contract with Dr. H too. You will never know until you submit your paperwork. Good luck!!! Deb

Here's hoping for a early surgery date. Please keep us posted :-) Deb
