thank you. I am actually getting sleeved 6 hours south in Naples, so i have yet to meet my surgeon, but i will ask. did a google search. really didn't turn up much....thanks
Sorry, but i am new to the site. Did you have the sleeve surgery and stretched it? Will it not shrink back down if you get your eating under control? I stretched every part of my body..lol.................god, life hurts when you are fat.
I am just starting out with my Lap Band decision. I have done research, and have attended seminars as well as checking into coverage and financing options. (My plan doesn't cover it at all.) I am curious about how long the pre-op diet takes and how many visits i must make before the actual surgery. I ask because my mother wants me to have the surgery back home (there is a very renowned surgeon there) but I am concerned about how much pre-op there is because she lives 6 hours away. I am also wondering of I can get follow-up care from a different surgeon/doctor or if you are required to do follow up with the surgeon who performed the procedure. Can anyone shed light on these questions?
Thank you Cindy, but I heard a surgoen say that he needed the weight loss for the sake of the safety of my liver. how long does the pre-op diet take all together ?
