Congrats you look amazing!

Welcome! You will find lots of great information here!

Haha. Me too. I posted about this a few weeks ago

Congrats! Try to relax although i would be the same way lol. Keep us posted.

I have my psych eval tomorrow and I'm freaking out. Well not really but i got butterflies just thinking about it. I've never met with one before. I also just learned today that my two hr apt is really only a one he with the dr and one a test. What kinda of questions are on the test? Any insight will be great. (I can't do a search from my phone right now. I apologize as I'm sure this has been asked many a time before). Thanks

Hey ladies? Im getting sleeved 12/10 with dr rantis as well at alexia bros. Thats awesone that you have lost 63lbs!!! And same to the other girl who lost 32! Great job you guys.

Thanks for your help. I know those numbers are not real high as i know a cpl people who had numbers in the 3&4 hundreds. But i also know if they remain on the higher side of normal that could cause problems over time. Thanks!

This is cross posted also on the preop page. Ive recently been having palpitations. Sometimes they last all day. Other times they are sporadic and i only get a few a day. My dr did some heart tests all checked out fine. The last three weeks or so ive been waking up at 3am and cant sleep. I pushed it off as stress from all this preop stuff. But now after reading stuff online im wondering if i am beginning to show signs of diabetes. I had a fasting blood test on 11/1 through my work and my blood sugar was 104. Not terrible and within the normal range. But still kinds high. Then after readinf a few things online last night it said often people whos blood sugar drops at night usually happens aroubd 3am. Which wakes them up. Then when they actually wake up your sugar is kinda high fro.offsetting the high. So like clock work again i awoke at 3am this morning. I didnt think to check my sugar then. But when i got up at 530 i did take it and it was 122. The last time i ate was 7pm the night before. I dont know if ive given enough info but could i have the onset of diabetes? My surgery is 12/10 and i dont know if i should go to the dr to talk about this? I gave up soda, most things sugary and caffeine almost 4 weeks ago. I dont know if that change is throwing off my body or what. Any help would be awesome!!! TIA!

Good luck!

And i brought up the heart palps bc it also said that could be from the sugar levels.

just wanted to share. found this online today. maybe its been posted already but i wanted to pass along for those looking for some guidance. of course follow your doctors instructions. but i found it helpful because my nut didnt give me a lot of guidance. http://www.muhealth.org/documents/bariatric/Bariatric%20Booklet%20VSG.pdf

ask away, that's what we are here for. i just thought it was a helpful booklet to keep on hand.

I'm the 10th too I have a two week 5 shakes a day preop that I have to do.

Mine will start November 26. But it's 15 days of 5 shakes a day and all the clear liquids and sf Popsicles and jello I want

12/10/12 :-)

Congrats! Mine is 12/10!!!!

I've been trying to make little changes. Little over three weeks without having a coke. That is a big one for me!!!! I'm very proud of myself for that!!! Trying to chew food 30 times is very difficult. I find the food after about 15 chews just goes to the back of my throat and I can't help but swallow. The no drinking during a meal is killing me. Maybe my bites are still too big and that is making hard, I don't know. I don't typically use a straw so I'm not too worried about that but I still Don't see why once we are healed we can't use it.

He has been very supportive. I'm very lucky

It is getting close, December 10! So excited and so nervous. Last night I said to my husband I don't know if I can do this. He in a nut shell said after all I have been through the last three months I'm not backing out now lol. Thanks for the help! Have you been sleeved?

Good luck to all if you!

I think you can only do it on a computer or not on the app. But it's nice to add people that you talk to a lot December 3rd will be here before you know it. Mine is the 10th. Yikes

Me too. I'm december 10 and it's all I think about as well.
