I was sleeved the day before you (on the 9th) and was having the same question. All of a sudden I can drink easily and was getting worried that I shouldn't be drinking so much! Good to know it goes out just as fast as it goes in....

My very first post! I am a newbie that is just too excited, scared, thrilled, nervous (repeat in any given order) not to post. I am scheduled for VSG with Dr. Kim on January 9th. I am driving from 4 hours away so that goes to show how impressed I am with Dr. Kim and his staff. They have been nothing but accomodating. It took me a good year or so to finally comit to surgery but decided I would not waste the rest of my 30's living in this body. I don't have what is considered in the medical world as high BMI (36, but PLEASE don't take that as "bragging" because, honestly, being overwieght and unhealthy is being overwieight and unhealthy. I am so excited to start this journey! 10.27 - initial consult, barium swallow test, NUT consult 11.3 - psych evaluation 11.11 - submit to insurance 11.29 - insurance approval, surgery day set 12.23 - pre-op at hospital, cardiac stress test, nurse consult 12.26 to 1.9 - liquid diet 1.9 - surgery date
