How interesting that you post this now. I watched TGwtDT yesterday and TGwpwF today. Original versions. Thought they were both great, except for the English dubbing, I preferred the subtitles. looking forward to the second version. Haven't read the book yet. Cheers, Carolyn

Hello everybody, I found this forum a couple of hours ago and have been lurking on it ever since.... I just learned about Vertical Sleeve a few days ago and I'm meeting with my doctor tommorrow to see what she thinks/knows about it. I have been around 200 lbs for years with high blood pressure and asthma and my BMI is over 33 so I hope she will recommend me as a candidate for this surgery. I have learned a lot in the past couple of hours from reading your posts. Also I have a good friend who has lost almost 100 lbs with a lap band but I didn't think that was for me. Seeing her go through all the nausea when eating, I thought that the whole thing wasn't worth it, but I have undergone a change of mind. The sleeve seems so simple in comparison to the other surgeries, and I'm sooooooo tired of being fat, ugly, and tired. Cheers and good luck to you all. Carolyn

Thanks for the welcome, Lissa. I guess one thing I 'm wondering about is follow up help.... if you have surgery in Mexico, what happens when you need to see the doctor about follow up care. Thanks, Cheers, Carolyn

Thanks, but I can't imagine that I'll get surgery within the next 6 months so you'll be an old hand by then! I'll use you for inspiration!!

Best of luck to you!

Ya it seems right for me. The liquid diet part will be hard I think. At only 8 days post you are still a newbie too sort of, I will be following your progress, and wishing for the best for you. Thanks for the warm welcome!

Thanks for the kind welcome, sleeve4me!

Snoozeyoulose how are you doing? I live in Vancouver and I'm interested in the sleeve.... going to talk to my Dr about the proceedure on Wed. Gather this is not done much in Vancouver... trip to Mexico might be in my future. Anyways, hope it all went well for you. Cheers, Carolyn
