Unfortunately we don't have such services in Europe, but it seems like an excellent idea. I saw a couple of girls trying it on YouTube.

Yeah, and that's not something I'm inclined to buy used... :/ I figure I'll end up needing to buy a couple of decent but not high-end bras at several stages. I wish things like the Genie Bra didn't give me uniboob, because they *are* comfortable and with the stretch could probably see me through several size changes. Maybe buying some pads would be an option at the beginning? I was thinking about sports bras also but they look awful. :c PS. I totally agree about uniboob! It sucks!

I will be doing it in a private hospital and I have kind of insurance that will cover most of the costs. As to post-op diet I have no idea... I didn't ask about it yet, I think they will let me know after the surgery. As for pre-op diet I'm required to drink only water/diet drinks and 3 protein shakes a day for a week. :c I will start next week Tuesday... :c

I bought some 2-3 sizes smaller dresses for work but nothing fancy or expensive. From what I read here people often lose weight faster than they expect, so I will keep on buying clothes regularly. I'm only concerned about bras...

Ciao! I'm getting sleeved in Belgium on August 17th. I already had all exams and a consultation with s surgeon.

Good luck!

I'm scared that I will lost all of my figure once I lose the weight. But I'm excited to finally weight less, and SHOP!! Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App I know what you're talking about... I'm sure that my belly will look like an empty potato sack...

I wonder if they will allow me to spray myself with this. Seems like a lot of people are dealing with dry mouth after the surgery.

Welcome! Did you already start on your liquid diet?

I will ask my sister to take some pics before surgery. I already lost 3 kg when I stopped eating sugar/junk after seeing my surgeon, so I'm pretty optimistic.

And how are you feeling? Excited? Scared?

That's soo cool! I will start next Tuesday (August 9th)- only protein shakes with water+diet drinks. Seems a bit extreme to me. What about you?

I'm getting sleeved the same day!

Hello Everyone, I will be getting a VGS on August 17th in Brussels, Belgium. Just came back from a consultation with my surgeon. If you have any questions about the procedure/costs over here don't hesitate to ask (it seems much cheaper than USA) . Alex

Mine will be ~8000€ but from what I know you can get one from ~4500€. Prices vary a lot depending on type of room you choose etc. In general it's a three day stay in hospital, you're being admitted the day before surgery.
