Hi!! Sorry It has taken me so long to get back to you! My grandma was very sick, taken to hospice then passed this Sunday. It's been a emotional month! But, everything went well I have my sleep study this Sunday night, after that I have my appt for the post op diet wed and I'm done! Finally!!!! How is everything going for you? Good I hope? How far are you now?

Well your first shared appt he will go more in depth with you and that helped me out a lot. You won't get the check list until your next shared appt with the dietitian. But a helpful hint because I was worried about this notorious check list too, it's basically everything they tell you in the seminar and in this meeting, I had over half of my things checked off once I got it because I was already doing it. Such as the 70 minute rule, getting at least 60g protein, getting a multi vitamin and calcium, trust me it's so simple and easy! But once they give that list to you then you set up a one month after that and then they determine whether you're ready and set your date. My monthly check up is next week:) they will today give you a check list too but it's not the actual list, it's more like the way it'll all happen and they will make other appts for you if necessary like pulmonary or cardiologist and let you know about the support groups to attend. Good luck today:)

Hi I went to that appt I also went to my one month with the dietitian, my next check up is dec 13 then I should get either a go ahead or another month to work on stuff. I decided really after going to the support group. Almost everybody there had the sleeve, I also you tubed both surgeries, and the sleeve looked some what to me easier, the bypass looked like there could have more issues arise.plus when you go to the shared appt he will meet with you individually and tell you what he thinks would work for you.

Hi! I'm one of verseman patients.. I'm hoping to get the sleeve soon!

Looking for some friends an encouragement around my area!

Hi! I'm new to this! I'm still in the process I'm at the one month point where I have to prove that I can stick too the "lifestyle" before they will schedule my surgery date for the sleeve! I need it and want it ( the sleeve) I'm so scared of dying, I'm only 26 and have two beautiful kids I can't leave behind! Were any of you scared as well??
