I had my surgery on March 1 and I have lost 30 lbs. I had a wonderful doctor at Eisenhower Medical Center at Ft Gordon and got great care in the hospital. HOw are you doing?
-
I went to Eisenhower yesterday and saw Dr Choi. He wanted to do my surgery on Dec 14. I am going out of town on the 19 Dec to spend Christmas with my daughter in Atlanta so I had to turn it down. I am dissapointed because I wanted to have it and get it over with but I will have to wait till the end of January now. Patience is a virtue.

I am going to Eisenhower Hospital too. I have talked with you on their forum, support group online. How are you doing?

Any Fast Eaters?
imblessed333 replied to weightnomore's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a fast eater too. I do not have a surgery date yet. I guess we should start practicing eating slower. I haven't started yet, I guess I should get right on that. -
Any Fast Eaters?
imblessed333 replied to weightnomore's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am having my surgery in Early December and am a little concerned because I am a very fast eater. Even when I concentrate on eating slowly, I don't seem to slow down very much. Was anyone out there a fast eater before surgery and how did you deal with the change after the sleeve? -
Wow you have lost alot of lbs in a short time . I would be happy with results like that too. I hope I will be happy with small portions too. Congratulations on your successful surgery and its results.
-
I don't have a surgery date yet. I go in to see Dr Choi on November 8 and I hope I will get a date then. I started this in May 2010.

When did you have pre-op? I was wondering the time frame from pre-op to your surgery on Oct 6? Thanks for the post.

Is it true? No Drinking From A straw
imblessed333 replied to Ibejjo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor told me it was protical for my tray to have a straw on it when I am in the hospital. But he said do not use it. I only drink with a straw now. It is good to hear so many of you use a straw after surgery. I hope I can after I have my surgery. -
Speak up those with leaks & infections!
imblessed333 replied to Can.sleeved's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too am a optimist and only look for good things to happen after I am sleeved. But I do want to read about everyone's experience whether it is good or bad. I want to hear what to expect and what not to expect after my surgery. I would appreciate it if someone would let me know if a certain doctor or clinic was having a high number of problems(so I would not go there). Thanks for sharing. -
Is it true? No Drinking From A straw
imblessed333 replied to Ibejjo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My pre op instructions said no straws too. The last support group I went to was hosted by three ladies that all have had one of the procedures(lap Band, Sleeve and or Gastric Y) done and they all drink out of straws and have had no trouble. The doctor said it would put air in your stomach therefore you have less room to put the nutrients in there you really need. -
I found out when I was going through the process of seeing if I wanted to have it done in a Civilian hospital or the military hospital. Tricare(Standard) will not pay for the Sleeve in a Civilian hospital because they consider it experimental. But they will pay for it when I go to a Army Hospital.

Questions to ask doctor before surgery
imblessed333 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I saw a post a month or so back with a list of questions to ask your doctor before surgery. I can not find it now. I will need it for 8/30. Can anyone help me find this list. Thanks in advance. -

Bariatric Advantage Protein Drinks
imblessed333 replied to WendyWE's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Are these drinks considered clear? Can you drink these 1 week after surgery? -
Good to hear you are doing well. I have not been sleeved yet but it is in the near future. You don't want to drink fluids because you feel full?

Questions you wish you asked before surgery?
imblessed333 replied to Papillon's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am probably 2 months away from getting sleeved so I am keeping a watch on this site for insights and what to expect before and after being sleeved.
