@@Luana526 dumping is mostly associated with having gastric bypass however, I have read that there is a form of dumping with the sleeve as well but, not as common though.

@@planetswifey I hope things work out in your favor.

@@Luana526 yes I am very nervous about the lifestyle change! All I do is think about what it would be like exactly for me personally. I'm afraid of failing or becoming depressed because I won't be able to eat a lot like I'm use to doing..... I know it's for the best for my health and well being and a plus for my sexiness

@@Luana526 We have the same surgery date! My pre-op starts today and it's not totally liquids. I can have a "smart" (smart ones, lean cuisine, ect..) meal for lunch and dinner protein drink for breakfast and snack unlimited clear liquids like broth, cranberry juice of course water, low fat dairy products sugar free jello coffee, tea, fresh, canned or frozen fruits and vegetables in water. Congratulations and good luck with your lifestyle change

I'm also interested in what I've heard, was an excellent read however, I have an iPad. Do you have an iPad version as well? @alexbrecher

You're so welcome @@FabNewMe we all need this kind of support I'm not on "the other side" with you all as of yet. I start my pre-op on the 15th my surgery is scheduled for September 26. I'm glad you're doing well and I wish you much success on your new journey!

Wow! Thanks for sharing @@AutumnPunkin you have done a wonderful job!

There's a September sleevers for 2014 forum already up and running here you may want to chime in there where we're at to get the encouragement and support that many have to offer The forums are..... "September Sleevers" and "Wanted: September Sleevers"

If you have other doctors such as therapist for knees, back, ect. They can write a medical necessity letter.

I've posted here earlier in the segment however, I had a mishap at work!! Ugh! As I was getting in my work vehicle, my uniform pants split at the seam! I didn't have a extra pair in my locker so I had to run home and change:( all of my uniform pants are too tight now but I refuse to order anymore in the size that I am! I can't wait until September 26, 2014 12:55pm!!!

@@InspirationMySon I pray that everything went well and as quick as possible with your surgery.

Congratulations!

Hey September sleevers!! I'm not schedule until the 26th however, this Sunday I'm cleaning out my closet right now separating all the clothes that I NEVER want to wear again 16-20 and the ones that I haven't worn in years 8-12! Also I purchased a pair of size 6 jeans (my personal goal for my 4"11 small frame) from a store that's going out of business clearance rack $10.00.... I really want to part with shoes too but um.... I'll wait I have shoe sizes ranging from 6-8!!! And that's including half sizes!! I'm excited for EVERY newbie here on these forums!

I'm having surgery September 26, 2014. I just received an email to travel and do makeup for a wedding October 4th 2014. Do anyone have an idea if I'll be able to accept the job or would that be to soon after surgery to work in that field?
