    Your doctor is trying to milk you and the insurance company.

    I had to do a 4 month medically supervised weight loss program. I did: December 2014, January 2015, February 2015 and March 2015. It goes by quick especially while you have to get all the other prerequisites done.

      I'm dealing with a lot of "head hunger" today. I should get cleared for soft foods Monday. I think I just want to chew. How are you today?

      I'm on my 2-week pre-op liquid diet, and I'm afraid I haven't exactly stuck to it. Been average two shakes a day and then a healthy dinner, but by the third or fourth shake, I just can't even get it down! Hopefully with the healthy eating, I'll still lose. Good luck!

      Yes definitely Susan. Check with your doctor to make sure that is okay. The reason that my doctor wants me to be in liquids only is to shrink the liver so it's easier to get to the stomach. The liver lays on top of it so it may be harder to get to if its too big. Good luck!

    How many people kept Weight Loss Surgery a secret ?

    reclaimingmyinnerbamf replied to shorty54's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    A few people know. I wasn't comfortable telling everyone.
