sleeve 4 me

That is awesome! Yayyy for you!

Mmmmm interesting...I was looking over notes from my options class and I wrote down 5000 mcg Biotin. I bet I'm supposed to be taking that amount now. I emailed one of the instructors, I hope to hear back from them soon. Thanks!

Ok I have been trying SUPER hard to lose a few pounds before next Wednesdays pre-op appt! My hubby even wanted to eat at our favorite Mexican whole in the wall on Sunday night and I refused!! Then woke up Monday morning a pound UP???? With NO CHEATING???? I was so frustrated that I broke down yesterday and didn't count points/track and bought some mini crumb cake donuts:frown1:!!! I don't understand why I even have to lose weight anyway???? Yeah, yeah I know the fatty liver... BUT HELLO that's why I'm having this surgery:mad: I NEED HELP LOL! Oh and now I'm up ANOTHER POUND????? Sorry:crying:, I just needed a place to vent. Thanks!

Amen, amen, amen! I prayed over this. I prayed that if it was not meant to be for me that doors would close, but instead they opened:001_smile:. Now I'm a walkin and ready to receive my blessing! Thank you Jesus!

Well today I'm back down. Go figure:confused1: But I will take it:thumbup:!

OK my peeps! I was looking over my notes and found that I had written down Biotin 5000 mcg...I just emailed one of the instructors at Kaiser to see what that means. I asked her if I need to start taking it now or wait until after the surgery? That seems like a lot of Biotin. They were a great price at Target, 100 tablets for $1.94 :-)

Awesome news!

I went to one support group but didn't like it. They had a personal trainer as the speaker. I went looking for people that had already had the sleeve surgery:sad0:. I really liked the seminar where both surgeons spoke, that was awesome. Anyway, I consider this my support group. I do plan on going back to the support group as a speaker to talk about my whole sleeve experience at Kaiser and hopefully be a help to other people:redface1:.

Wow 86 lbs in 5 months! Amazing:biggrin2:!!!!!!

Yayyyyy! I know exactly how you feel! It will be here before you know it. When I attended the same seminar I was hoping I would get Dr. Zane (and I did), he seems so nice and like he really cares. Whoo hoo to YOU!!!

Amen Mini! And I thank God for opening this door for me:thumbup:.

Whoo hoo to you!

I thank God for my precious sleeve sisters :-) sniff sniff!

From what I've read here, everyone is different. I've read where some diets are 2 weeks to just a few days before surgery. At the seminar I attended in June I believe my surgeon said 1 or 2 days, but I will find out for sure next week:thumbup1:.

Amen :frown1:!!! And I will be cheering you on as well!

Premier is my favorite.

Best to you on a speedy recovery :-)

I'm so excited for you yayyyyy! Keep us updated :-)

April 2, 2010 was the last day of my options class:thumbup:

O wow I guess the rumors are true. I heard they closed the option to go to South Bay/Harbor City Kaiser because there was an expolsion of new patients :frown1:. I actually wanted to go to West LA initially but were backed up at the time. I guess it goes back and forth lol.

I technically have not been put on an offical pre-op diet yet (my pre-op appt is on 8/18/10), I just really wanted to try and lose some weight before then. But thanks so much for the 411 it's so true about the carbs, liver etc. I really appreciate it :-)
