I have to say that this post has to be one of the most valuable ones to me because its honest, I have always loved food and will and the sleeve will not take that away I just need to find peace with my eating and use it for fuel instead of pleasure, who doesnt love wine with cheese or a good slice of pie but do I want to look at my life with regret or do I want to know I have the power and can live a balance life. I get my sleeve in Jan and Im trying to find new ways of living and finding other things that can make me happy, I have to trade this addiction for another one that is healthy for me.

Hi Guys dont have my sleeve yet but have to get some weight down so Im at 246 pounds

Dr is the best person to tell you due to your body size and what would look right, and yes bigger is better but not too big.

yes thank you for posting this the sleeve is just a tool but its mind over matter and it looks hard but we have the power.

Well went to my apt today and met with my dr and I have gained 3 pounds and he scolded me for about 30 minutes and he was brutal which I can understand. But I felt mad and sad because he scolded me like a fat kid that can’t stop eating cake. He said that he had other surgeries dealing with cancer and my surgery was elective and I just wish I could tell him to go fu(( off and just forget the whole thing but I want this surgery and I know I need to do my part, but I want to tell him that he is insensitive and my wls is not a nose job.

thank you guys, he actually made me want a drink he just was so unreal, I understand that I need to hear that but at the same time dont tell me that my wls is nothing compare to your to do list because its elective. I hope his wife gains 250 pounds,

Thank you Connie3, nope I cant Im having it done at a military hospital and the other person is not here so its either this Ahole or go out and my insurance doesnt cover it out and the only thing left is my Band and bypass

water, water, water, that the only way it works for me it sucks but it will start making things move and walking. hope I helped.

do what makes you happy, sometimes we do everything for everyone else and stay in the sad and unhappy place that never changes.

I wish it was sooner Im so ready but scared that I cant stay on track with eating right. My dr changed it to Jan instead of Nov but in a way its better because of xmas and people coming over to visit

I wish, I hope that would be my problem, I am good at always having too much weight but hey I can only dream of a size 4 or 5. I dont want to be supper small but would love to know what it is to have enough space in my jeans.

Hi welcome we are stationed at fort stewart just waiting for a day, my dr said it will be in Jan

Hi I dont have a date yet but Dr told me I would be Jan hoping for 7th too

I was all about the sleeve until my dr (military hospital) seems not that involved with my procedure and moved it from Nov 30 to sometime in January because he stated that the hospital is busy and due to the holidays as well. This remark from him made me really nervous because I need a surgeon who is 100 percent about me and my wls. Now I am thinking of moving towards the Bypass and finding a doctor that works mainly with wls. I was so excited but Im just afraid that the dr and the military hospital wont give me the support that I need after surgery, I barely get any support now I do all the foot work on my own.

Hi dooter thanks for the feed back but I also found out that the sleeve does change overtime and it depends on the person. "Stretching of the stomach often results in additional problems other than inadequate weight loss or weight regain. The tube of the stomach may stretch in a manner that is not uniform, resulting in portions of the stomach tube being larger than others. This can cause the stomach to become shaped like an hourglass, where both the upstream and downstream portions of the stomach are large, but they are separated by a portion of the stomach that is fairly narrow. While eating may not increase as a result of a stretched stomach tube, it may cause uncomfortable and/or disordered eating. Depending on the volume of food a patient consumes at each meal and the symptoms they have, there are a couple of revision options that all result in food flowing more directly through the stomach."

It's not easy but stay busy to take your mine off of it

Ok so I'm suppose to stack my liquid diet soon but I'm lost how do I go about doing and how many shakes do I take do I drink the broth cold or hot, need help *_*

Hi well they told me about 1,000 to 800 calories a day. But don't know how to go about it I've never done a liquid diet.

Hi guys, as I get closer to my date my fears start to come into my head and I worry that it wont work for me, what made you pick the Sleeve over the Band and the Bypass?

He is so handsome, I also have boxers 2-males 8 months and they are going to doggy camp for a week and if i still feel weak then my friend will take them for another week so I love them but this is my time and I need to make everything perfect, I already told my kids they better behave or off to grandma, you have to take it easy and get rest,

Hi guys, well the Nut at my hospital is not too familiar with VSG and they just started doing the sleeve due to new doctors, she is really good but I just dont feel that she can guide me. She gave me a lot of printed information from online and also kept calling it the gastric instead of the sleeve. Any information will help, I want to know how my weeks should go and what goes on step by step with each new week, with fluids and meals.

Need a DVD can't go to the gym any good ones?
