  4. Hang in there...... Surgery is crazy. Believe you will be fine... Don't worry it won't do anything except make more acid in your tummy. Someone said in the chat room to sip warm water. It works best. MN Mary

    Stuck at 70 pounds

    How are you doing now,.... Have you moved off the 70 lbs? Perhaps you will have to keep a journal of what you are eating/:thumbup1: I have lost a little over 20 lbs for surgery. Surgery will be next Weds. Have been reading everything I can. Wish you my best. MN Mary :thumbup:
  7. Thanks for your response.

    I am having my surgery in MN at Abbott Hospital. The doctor has only done about 100 sleeves. Hope he knows what he is doing. the hospital is the best!!

    What are you eating now? You feel satisfied? What happens when you gulp rather than sip?

    sip sip sip I don't know how to do this.

    I am 61 and have 110 lbs left to loose. Have lost over 20 b 4 surgery. I am getting nervous not to the point of not having it done.

    Do you know anyone who has regrets that they did it?

    thanks, Mary

    Here's to a "Healthy Life"

    Being 4' 11" has always been a challenge for me to control portions of food. Every year I have lost 20 to 25 lbs but then gain 35 lbs. I'm sure some of you understand exactally what I am saying. I have thought about bariatric surgery for several years however didn't like the vomiting and dumping that went with it. Two years ago I met a woman in Chandler AZ who had the sleeve and told me that this was the best thing that she had ever done. I did some reading and got ever excited about doing this for myself. When I went to the surgeons office I was told that my insurance didn't cover the VSG. I was bummed so decided to have the band. I had to go thru 4 visits with a nutriionist a month a part for insurance to cover the band and in May my insurance started to cover the VSG procedure. YEAH!!!! So I am on course to have the sleeve, October 6th. I was forced into retirement 3 weeks ago so I will be able to have "me" time and get healthy. I have lost 22 lbs pre-op and have 110 left to loose. I look forward to friendship on this site. I am a little scared but hear great things from those who have had the surgery.:biggrin0:
  9. I will remember the BBQ's sauce on wood when I am on my liquid diet after my surgery. Hope you are doing well.
