Olivia - Where are you?

I know this sounds weird, but have you tried using antiperspirant on your inner thighs? Works wonders for me - even during 100* summer days.

Just remind yourselves: whether or not you have the surgery you are at risk of complications. If you don't have surgery then you're risking heart disease, diabetes, or worse: an early death.

Yay! We're sleeve twins :-). What time is your surgery? I'm bright & early at 7am. I just hope my doc is a morning person!!!

Kolerz219 - we're almost sleeve twins - you're just 2 weeks ahead of me! I'm 42, starting pre-op diet on Sept 30, sleeve date is Oct 15, starting @ 249.

Now that made me laugh out loud! Thanks for the early morning laugh :-)

Count me in!! Oct 15 with Dr Heider @ Lake Norman. I'm glad to see I'm in such great company during October :-) I am going in for my Upper GI, NUT, & Psych tomorrow. It's getting more real!!! I've never had surgery so I am trying to keep from getting myself psyched out about it. Yikes!!!

Woot! Woot! Lookin' fab, girl!!!

Congrats! That's awesome!! A definite victory for you!!! My dinner tonight was @ Mexican with a girlfriend I haven't seems in months. I'm not sleeved yet (55 days to go!) but I've been trying to liquid diet as much as I can beforehand. I was so proud of myself: NO CHIPS even though they were on the table in front of me. I ordered chicken fajitas & was able to ignore the soft tortillas on the side. I grinned all the way home thinking that must have been my first NSV.

Thank you for the great info!! Anyone else?

16/20. Great link! Thanks!

Ask your doctor, their assistant, or a patient advocate at the hospital if they have volunteers to drive patients home. Or maybe pay a service that is available to the elderly who no longer drive.

Oct 15 with Dr Heider!

My sleeve date with Dr Heider is in October & I'll be recovering in Belmont
