    Sleeve vs. Band

    I chose the sleeve because I did not like all of the complications that came with the band and read about all of the revisions, and figured, with my medical luck (or lack there of) I would be one of those that would HAVE to have a revision lol so why not go there first.

    Complicatons?

    In a heart beat. My life has changed so much in just two months that I have cried because I was so overwhelmingly happy. Not because of the weight loss because I am losing slowly, but because my health has gotten so dramatically better.
  8. You are doing so great! Keep up the good work girl, you are rocking your sleeve!
  9. Your triglycerides are affected by fat. Keep fat out of your diet and they will go down. I have hereditary high triglycerides, to the point of being in the thousands if I don't take meds and watch my diet. My docs all had me on a no to low fat diet because of them. Hope all goes well. But I think your surgeon will not have an issue with doing the surgery, mine were 356 3 weeks post op can you imagine what they were pre op?? Normal is 200 and under.

    Hospital stay

    For the most part most people are in for a day and a half to 2 days.
  11. I didn't have to pay the hospital up front, but I did have to pay my surgeon the difference that the insurance didn't cover prior to surgery. Now I got a bill for 2600 from the hospital, can we say payment plan? LOL
  12. Once I started drinking my coffee again everything was just fine LOL.
  13. I think you all are doing great!!!

    Win or lose

    YOU GO!!!! YOU GO!!!! YOU GO!!!! YOU ROCK BIG TIME GIRL!!! NOW THATS HOW YOU GO AND KICK SOME ASS!!! Congratulations, I am sooooooooo happy for you.
  15. I use one a day gummies. A little pricey but I do three servings a day and makes me feel like I'm eating candy LOL. Since I am on solids and can eat everything and anything I am ok. Of course I stay away from the whites but make sure I get my veg in pretty often too. Oh and a side note, speaking of candy, Atkins protein bars, OMG good stuff, anytime I feel I need choc candy this is what I have . Satisfies it all for me. LOL and it doesn't make my sugars go up!

    My new alarm clock

    I am just the opposite, pre op I was a gassy mess, all day long, burping and tooting! Post op almost nothing, if I toot well make sure the path to the bathroom is clear, LOL, if I burp its cause I'm done eating or so my sleeve is telling me so.
  23. My doc says for the sleeve that a minimum of 60 and a maximum of 90.
