yes, as long as you have no complications, that should be fine.

hi, ndipilato, I would love to be your buddy. Got sleeved April 1, so we are at the same stage and can compare notes. So far I have lost 36 lbs, most before surgery. Only 6 lbs in last two weeks. How are you doing?

hi beldary, I would love to be your buddy. I am 52, live in Kansas and am just starting my third week post op. I have lost 36 lbs, most of it prior to surgery. Was on liquid diet for two weeks. I have a long way to go, but thrilled so far.

I feel really blessed because I feel really good. Never even took pain meds. And I'm a wimp! I'm just starting my third week. Find it a little difficult to get all my water and protein in. Weight loss is slowing down, but I hear this is normal. I have no regrets and this has been a very good experience so far. How are you doing?

I was sleeved on March 31 and got out on April 1. Great experience and no regrets! No pain meds needed. Going back to work tomorrow. Eating soft foods; Weight loss has slowed considerably, but I am told to be patient.

I am from Overland Park. Had surgery April 1 with Dr. Hoen. Can't say enough good things about my experience!

I would love some buddies. I had VSG on April 1.

Hi, I am just starting my 3rd week postoperative. I had VSG on April 1. Looking for a buddy. Live in Overland Park, KS.

I'm going to try to do the Protein Shakes starting next week too. Let's compare notes!

I am praying for you! How did it go? Are you feeling ok? please post when you can and update everyone. We care.

No, not yet... I have to fulfill the 3 months of dietician visits first. I'm an instant-gratification girl, so waiting is HARD!! lol.

How are you ladies doing as far as losing weight pre-surgery? I must tell you, I'm not doing too good... I keep thinking, this is the last time I can have Pad Thai, this is the last time I'm going to have cake, etc... Is that common? I do want to try to start following a post-surgery diet so that I will be ahead of the game. The goal is to lose weight right? Not gain some before the surgery! :-)

Hi there. I also have Fed BCBS and am currently fulfilling my 3 months of dietician supervised diet. I have been told that BCBS will cover the gastric sleeve... I may have more weight to lose than you as I need to lose about 150 lbs. I also have diabetes and high blood pressure so more medically compromised than you are. Keep me posted!
