    I have a date set for November 4th. Of course, I'm excited but scared to death. I'm reading all that I can. I'm so scared that I'll fail with the sleeve as I have with everything else I have tried. What made it really different for you? Thanks! April

    I've been wanting to ask about soups. Can you keep eating soups later on? How does that work with the no drinking rule before or after eating?

    It is probably a bad thing that I can't bring myself to write broth on my shopping list. Ick.

    What is on your shopping list to get ready for the surgery? I'm working on making mine so I can go this weekend. I ordered Unjury chicken broth and choc. splendor.

    Long way out, but skin question

    AprilS replied to SumPsychChic's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I hear it depends on genetics, how long you were at your weight, etc. I'm already thinking mine will be pretty bad. I'm already in bad shape without losing weight with my "second stomach". Ick. But I don't care. Hopefully I can save up and have that taken care of when I lose the weight. Some insurance companies will cover the panus? if it is causing problems like rashes, etc.

    This is my dr. and I've been looking at it a lot. I wonder if SF Carnation Instant Breakfast is supposed to be on clear food stage? It seems like a few things are listed more than once in a stage. I need to retype it,,,haha. I made a calendar for my stages and listed what is in the stage underneath the calendar.

    Great. Just what I want to hear about my office! How was the surgery, recovery, etc. for you? I can't believe they billed that much to the ins. company. I'm self pay and it is "just" $11725 total not including pre op testing. I really haven't had any trouble getting my "advocate" and no problems with the office staff so far. How did you do being outpatient?

    Thanks for the update. I'm glad you're feeling better this morning. Keep updating! I need to hear it. :-)

    Oh goodness. My husband might kill me if I have these feelings too. I'm very worried about that. I'm sorry y'all are having trouble. Surely it gets better as others have said. Hang in there!

    Hi, I tested positive for sleep apnea and they're making me get a machine to use before the surgery and possible after/during. I'm not sure?? I wonder how it will change my date. I had it tentatively scheduled for November 4th. My coordinator isn't in today and no one else can help me. Boo!! The lady that called me didn't know anything about it. Anyone else run into this? Thanks! April

    I had a pulmonary function capacity test and EKG already. I guess I'll have to wait and see on Monday. I hate waiting. I don't know how long it will take for them to get me the CPAP and then how long I'll have to use it before the surgery. They got me the home sleep apnea study pretty fast.

    I'd love to see that article too, please.

    unbesleevable1, We have the same surgery date!!

    Best point ever!

    Wow! What great prices compared to US! You have to have a passport to drive over, right? Sorry for that stupid question! What is the wait time for a surgery date?

    My husband is very supportive also. My parents have never liked the idea of it. I've talked about it a lot through the years. My mom is a yoyo weight watcher. I have been in the past too.
