That's wonderful congratulations... I have heard it don't take long has a lot to do with the workup and documentation that they are provided the better the package the quicker they act. At this point I would not worry either way on your date it's a short recovery from the procedure. So delaying is never good. Who is your surgeon, where you getting it? Best of luck with this new and exciting journey!

Best of luck to you I am now 8 months 10days out from having my sleeve done and as of this morning I am 82 lbs down best decision I ever made. Best of luck on your journey!

Hi guys been a few since I posted I am now 4 plus months out and could not be happier. As of last wed I was 255 lbs 38.1 bmi so to date 68lbs gone. I only weight once a month at my support group meetings so i have an offical weight from them. Thats a ten year old kid lost lol.. only thing I am not happy with is my lack of activity due to a leg and shoulder issue can not exercise like I want to but I am taking steps to correct that so hopefully soon. My short term goal is 222 by the end of Oct that will be my hundred pound sweet spot! Wish you all the best of luck on your journey.

Thank you Doug I will try that

Hi I am 5 plus months post op sleeve and have had great sucsess. Down 70 pounds as of today. I need to tell you what you experience is not from constipstion its over eating or eating to fast you shoukd tke 20 mins to finish a meal that's where tye sweating and neasea Are coming from.. now the constipation yes I have suffered fir years with irritable bowel IBS not any longer. ? I have had bouts of constpation we all will we no longer have the stomach to digest as well what has helped me is probiotics. Dont believe what you see on tv to be effective you need between 14 and 35 billion live units a day. I find the 14 at gnc and have resently increased to 28 on my way to 35 its needed to go gradual to avoid bouts of diarrhea. This regement has helped me tremendously . Just think logical your intestinal health is more important than every now. So supplementing it is important. Please check with your health care provider and make sure your doung at least 64 oz of water a day. Best of luck hope this helps it has me!

I am feeling great when I eat I know if it's too fast or t [ much you just learn quickly what's what. I KNOW what you mean it's seemed like forever for me but in reality went very fast.. I had first appointment end of Jan and had all test and surgery done by March 5th am told was real fast. Had no health issues to deal with so went smooth. Happy Independence day to you!

Hi I am in South Jersey may I assist?

No I did not had smooth sailing through out my journey have dropped about 65 pounds I don't weight in till the support meetings third wed of every mouth have you been yet I may have seen you

Yes I did but truthfully I got to wear the liquid diet was not bad I never felt hungry. So the 12 hours before surget was no big deal I recommend premier Protein shake a when they start your pre diet it's important to loose as much as possible before surgery so that the liver is smallerI do have a fatty liver so I know I probably will have to fast also. Did you have to do a sleep study?

I have medicare and tri care military as a retiree tri care does not cover at all medicare does I don't know as yet what my out of pocket insurance costs will be but you do have to pay upfront a 600.00 program fee not covered by any insurance it's the nutritional councilor and other fees gives you lifetime support in mtg and so forth.

Hi I am a 57 years young guy that wanted to stay that way. I gound myself one day three years back at 360 lbs I was shocked I had been laid up for over ten weeks from a leg surgery much better now. I immediately gave up all soda and really nothing else, in 4 months with the help of being active I dropped to 320. Two years ago I met the love of my life and she has motivated my to want to be healthier and to be able to do the things I used to and have never done on our upcoming honeymoon in Nov. We joined weight watchers together we started going to gyms, even zumba classes they fun. I lost but could not keep it off my leg hampered my activities. So Feb of this year to keep my new years resolution. I sought out the help of a Bariatric Surgeon. I committed to the Sleeve program and could not be happier. On March 5th I had the procedure done and am happy to say I am now down 55 lbs . I have not been under 300 in over 6 years. Its amazing feeling . Hope to gèt to know you all well thank you!

Thank you for the welcome I enjoy the life too!
