Ms Lady in NC

Thanks! Glad you are doing so well!!! I was initially set to go with Dr. Almanza and having the DS but changed my mind after some things (not anything to do with him) didn't sit well with me. I chose another good doctor and another GREAT surgery (Sleeve) after a lot of lost sleep and research. I hope my journey is as great as yours! I am not as big of an eater as some people. I just eat wrong things I guess. But the diet I have been on really prepares me to be ready for the upcoming battles I will have. I do think you are right though regarding the amounts of drink and food consumption. But to be honest, I am looking foward to taking a break from eating a couple weeks. And yes, this site is gonna be my daily ritual from now own because I need all the info and support I can get before and after my wls!

I am having it @ INT Hospital on the 8th but going a day early to rest after the flight. I didn't know Dr. A does his surgeries there as well. Thought he used his own clinic. But you are right, they do work or at least did when I last checked. Anyway, I will be leaving on the 11th, so will miss you by a few days but best of luck!

Im a newbie but wanted to say congrats! Not only on your surgery but also on your ability to deal with the people like that! I only told 4 people close to me but even they (incl. hubby) were trying to talk me out of it! I did the same thing as you and eventually they agreed. It's so funny how they all knew someone who knew someone who had the worst surgery but when I ask for their name and number....nothing! I guess I will soon be the person they have in mind when they tell the next person and I too will be forgotten lol.
