GOAL ! ! ! (not the field goal type)
kabringgold replied to Tiffykins's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Dear Tiffany, I am thrilled with your success! You have been so helpful in my decision to go with the SLEEVE rather than with the LAP BAND. I am set for surgery in just a few days (January 11th) BUT my PRE-diet has not gone well for me. I have not stuck too it to the letter as I was only supposed to have LIQUIDS, Protein Bars, Jello and Protein Shakes for TWO WEEKS prior to my january 11th date. I have cheated with eating turkey, chicken, a hamburger, etc BUT will try to stick with it starting next tomorrow up to January 11th. Did YOU have to do such a strict PRE-DIET and do you think I'll have to postpone my SLEEVE surgery now due to my lack of self-control? I weigh 195lbs and am 5-foot 5inches tall so I don't know if the pre-op diet is more important to follow if you are morbidly obese or if it is just as important for me to follow to shrink my liver? I've read about some SLEEVE patients that DID NOT have any Pre-Op diet at all. Any advice or information to help me? Best, Courtney at kabringgold@aol.com -

Hi DeeDee, I am new to this forum and would like to send an e-mail to you re: SLEEVE vs BAND. I'm worried about future health issues if large portion of stomach permanently removed. Did you have that concern? Happy still w/ sleeve 4mos out? Able to enjoy tasting real food yet or able to drink alcohol? Please try to e-mail me at kabringgold@aol.com as my date is Jan 11th!

Did you have the SLEEVE or the LAP BAND? I also have to have HIATAL HERNIA repair & I have TWO ULCERS as well. Did your surgery HELP with those problems & are you happy with the SLEEVE? I'M STILL DEBATING between SLEEVE or LAP BAND and am set to do the surgery on JANUARY 11TH 2010.
