Yeah, this is literally the first day and my stomach is all growling at work lol how long was clear liquid diet?

oh! No, def not on one. Talk to your surgeon. I was given a prescription for one right after surgery

oh! No, def not on one.

I am not taking a PPI..I'm not even sure what it is lol I tried chicken and beef broth and the smell alone makes my stomach queezy

I havent smoked in a month. Surgery is November 19th! Anyone smoked after surgery? Please spare me, I know smoking is bad and I've quit but I'm dying for a cigarette..

Thanks for not judging me btw and thanks for sharing your experience.

Any regrets on your lapband surgery? Horrible pain? No results? Constant throwing up?

So I had my consultation for the weight loss surgery I want which is the gastric sleeve and my insurance will cover the surgery BUT I have to go on a 6 month supervised diet. My BMI is 49 it just so happens that if my BMI was 50 I would surpass the 6 month supervised diet. So now here I am trying to gain about 10 pounds in 2 weeks so I can get my BMI to 50. I feel like I'm making myself sick overeating more than I already do but I'm just so close yet so far from the person I know I'm meant to be. Did anyone else have this issue? How's you deal?

I had to stop smoking also which I've done since the consultation, I've also stopped drinking. I just think it's not fair. It's my decision you know? But thank you for being understanding.

I agree it kinda scared me..

What does a supervised diet even consists of?

Well the place I had my consultation with basically urged me to gain the 10 pounds so I would be at a BMI of 50 . So idk if they will still make me do the 6 month supervised diet. The rush is that I've been overweight sooo long and so uncomfortable in my own skin and I'm ready to change my life. My health issues are getting worse by the day.

Hi ???? new here.. I just set up a consultation. Can anyone tell me what to expect?!

I was all set to get the lap band but my mom thinks the risks are way higher with the Lap Band vs the Sleeve. I don't quite understand how the sleeve helps you lose weight. Idk what to do. Anyone had success with the sleeve?!

How are you feeling since surgery?

Thanks Sky! I'm excited!

Well i faxed my paper work yesterday and got my consultation for next tuesday.
