Caffiene Free Coffee or with Caffiene?
Gendy replied to Gendy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks Katcloudshepard, that sounds like a good idea. I'll have to give it a try.! -
Has anyone been told to quit the caffeine prior to surgery? My Dr has and I'm really having a hard time switching to caffeine free coffee. I need something to wake me up in the morning.

Going thru the process of lap band to Gastric Sleeve
Gendy replied to Gendy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Nowornever14 - I am having my revision done in IL. It's with the same doctor that originally did my band. I really like him and know he'll do a good job. I just hope I can get the band removed and the sleeve done in the same operation. I have real bad heartburn and hope that goes away with the sleeve. I've heard good things about that. Good luck to you on your journey. -
I hope to have my surgery in October as well. I have to see the dietician one more time at the end of September and then the paperwork can be submitted to the insurance company. Hopefully that won't take too long. Looking forward to my journey.

Going thru the process of lap band to Gastric Sleeve
Gendy replied to Gendy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks for the great response. I too have had problems with the band, filling and loosening and filling again. I now have heart burn and food keeps getting stuck. I don't understand why as this started within the last 2 months. I'm ready for a change. I hope I don't have problems with removing the band. The port was just put in 2 years ago when my band started leaking so I'm thinking there shouldn't be a problem.
