Am a side sleeper because if I sleep on my back, I get numbness in my legs to the point it's painful (hard to describe). I keep reading that after surgery you can't sleep on your side. I am getting sleeved Tuesday and I need to know if there are any options on how to make this work.

Did they give you an amount of weight you had to lose before surgery? 10-15 lbs. So far I'm down five. Five to go and three days to do it??? I'm worried.

Thanks guys. I think I may need to go inest in a new body pillow! Maybe that will help whenI can finally start sleeping on my side. HAve you found your sleeping positions changing after you loose weight? Do you sleep better?

Go on a Disney Cruise with the Fam and buy lots of pictures. I almost never buy pics on a cruise cause I hate the way I look

Good luck!!!!

Kingwood here. Having VSG the 29th by Dr Bina at University General

Awesome. I can't wait to have that feeling

I am posting over here cause you guys will know what is needed. I am having surgery next Tuesday the 29th. I am trying to pack my bag ahead of time so I'm not throwing things together at the last minute. Here is what I have in the bag so far. Gown Robe Pajamas Comfy Stretchy clothes to go home Loose stretchy unmentionables Toiletries EOS (Chapstick) GAS-X Dissolvable strips iPad with iBooks, music, and movies bariatricpal app on all devices slipper socks (with the little grips on them) small pillow (to hold when moving) my pillow blanket Anything else you vets can recommend??

Silly question I've always wanted to surprise my husband with these but where do you put it???

April 29 here too. Yay. I can't wait. Using University General in Houston with Dr Said Bina through Neweigh Still have nine more lbs to loose before next week and that's stressing me out. I can't wait to get this surgery over and get going with my new life

Good luck. Glad to see things are going well so fat

Got insurance approval today. Now waiting on test results but they went ahead and finalized my date of April 29. Preop later this week. Now gotta work my butt off to get these 10-15 pounds off by The 28th

You took the words right out of my keypad.

Your stomach was probably still swollen from the trauma of surgery. It wouldn't have healed enough for that kind of food yet.

Good luck!!!!

Is there such a thing? I've seen this new trend of Cronuts (sp?) in several places recently and I keep thinking I'll never get to have one. I still have to loose a few more pounds before my surgery in 9 days and I'm considering trying to find a place that sells them tomorrow do I can say I've had them at least once. It doesn't help that my hubby goes on and on about how good they are

Same date here if all of my tests come back in time

Really? I was told breads would be a big no no afterwards

It's pure carbs. All bread. Won't be able to eat that after????

Totally. We went to Red Lobster and I ordered gumbo so I could eat the broth only. No cheddar bay biscuits. Everyone was asking if I wasn't hungry.

I had this exact same reaction yesterday when a friend's husband posted a pic of her. She is a little over a year out and the excess skin was sooo bad. Then someone took a pic of me at church this morning and I realized I can find ways to cover up all of that excess skin (until PS) but I can't hide this fat body.

My NUT said to avoid them since their protein source is extremely poor and your body doesn't digest it so it basically is a waste of money and calories

I'm supposed to be on my preop diet for the 29th. I have three kids and it's time to put together their Easter baskets. I didn't get much candy this year on purpose and didn't get any of my favorites but there's chocolate in the closet and I feel like it's calling my name. Help!!!!! I don't want to loose my chance at this by gaining weight. This suxxxxxxxx

I'll have to remember that @@pinkbarbie I thought i heard some noise coming from the closet it might be calling your name - but pretend "they" have the wrong # and don't answer the phone good for you by not buying much of candy you like (i do that too for halloween) pre-op people/you need/should prove to yourself (and doc) that you are strong, and will work hard with the sleeve stay strong - when/if you reach out for that piece of candy with your left hand............. let the right hand reach over and slap it, saying "knock it off!!! !! you work with the sleeve and the sleeve will work with you!!! temptation is a 4 ltr word many/most/all/you/me will have to deal with it for the rest of our healthier, happier, longer lives i know you are strong i see the determination in your eyes you will be successful!!!! happy easter good luck with surgery speedy recovery kathy LOL YOURE TOO FUNNY!!!!

LOL> I totally let myself have one Hershey's Milk Chocolate Miniature. And that's it!!! I am actually proud of myself
