thats fantastic

Lisa, how do you get the chart thing at the bottom of your post, like you current weight goal weight ?

Lisa, when is your surgery scheduled, mine is scheduled 28 May.. I am so excited, especially since the insurance is paying.. LOL

thanks.. good luck to you to. Bunnydee.... Also, are you allowed to drink alcohol after everything is healed?

that is exactly right.. My parents keep saying well the Band didn't work what makes you think that the Sleeve will and it is so much more invasive.. I don't have a logically response, because i get so frustrated with them. I want the Sleeve, I want to feel better, I want to look better, and I want to be alive in 20 years, to see my daughter grow. I don't know what to do, because it is so scary thinking that I might have to walk in the this alone, and with disapproval from my family. I need good feedback for them, that makes logically sense. Please help!!

Really, what does your doctor say about it, and who was your doctor?

Were you hungry, after surgery until you went to puree foods?

Ok... so protein, protein, protein.. for the days following surgery, how did you eat, shakes? Were you allowed to drink?

I am so ready to get the band out, I have no fluids in and I still throw up at times, it's ridiculous. So super excited, 28 May can't come soon enough, Has anyone had any trouble loosing their hair?

Very, very true.. When I had my Lap Band, the gas was horrific.. I thought I was having something wrong with my band.. Thank you!

I know I am making the right decision for me as well.... just nervous, he just wants me happy. So you are in Dallas. I live in Oklahoma City and having to travel to Dallas, because the doctors are so strick about everything and it would be six months to even consider the sleeve. Well I am excited for you, April 30th.. whoop whoop.. that is so exciting.. Dr. Kim seems to be so busy, so I am going with his partner Dr. Holden at Baylor University.. she did my EDG, I just consulted with Dr. Kim and I was comfortable with him. But God will be with me.. Thanks for your comments..

Thank you, my Husband isn't trying to be negative I think, just worried.. He is a guy that can eat anything any not gain any weight.. it sucks.. I am doing it, I am so excited.. thank you for your words of guidance..

Thank you so much!! Do you feel like the Sleeve was succesful?

I wish I would have got the Sleeve first, but I didn't know it even existed, I just found out about it in November... Actually I just got off of the phone with the surgery scheduler, I am scheduled for surgery 28 May 2013. I am so super excited to start my journey and get this process started so I can get on with a better life. I just wonder if the side effects are different from Band to Sleeve than just directly to Sleeve.
