@@thisfathasgot2go Give yourself a couple weeks. Just stay on track. You should hear from the surgeons office pretty soon. Once your done with your class - which btw bring walking shoes because you've got a 15 min walk to pass. They give your file back to the Dr. who runs the program, they sign off and then it's referred quickly.Could be a couple weeks before the appt BUT it won't be long before you hear from them. -

I'm 3.5 weeks out and I feel great. 1st week was rough but feeling better daily. Now it's the battle of energy and fueling myself I didn't want to dump, But had reflux - so I discussed my options with Dr Zane. Basically he said if my weakness will be sugar and sweets he suggested RNY otherwise he said sleeve was fine. He prescribes a reflux prescription for every patient for at least 1 month after surgery to help. He really didn't think one works better than the other for weight loss but individual medical issues could sway the decision. -

I felt the same way. Honestly, it wasn't until after my surgery that I've realized how much information was taught to me and how useful it's been. I'm on a few fb groups, it's amazing the amount of people who have not been educated and have many questions. Trust me you'll be thankful for your 6 months when it's all over -
