PALOMABELLA

July right here. Well, or probably it will be post poned. I had sm accident in church n now im n crutches i pulled a ligament from side n back of knee (the miniscus) Pulled or broke. Takes months n therapy to heal. I have finished all the preliminarys three months ago. I waited 3 months for a surgery date. I dont know whats going to happen now because I have gained 15 Lb. Since. Sttarting weight 205. Now im up 220 Lb. My general dr dont want to give me the clearance letter for surgery yet. She wants me to loose atleast 10Lb. Because my legs are retaining liquid. They swelling. She wants to see if i can loose weight on my own with no surgery. Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi...well congrats because the preliminary appointments are quick..before u know it your ready for surgery...im finished with all my appointments.

What state r you getting your surgery at? Im in NJ Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

My sleeve is in may. I have been waiting since september. My weight has been up 7 Lb and down 6 Lb. Nothing changes. . so i ask my surgeon to give me the pre_ op liver shrinking diet now so that i can loose some weight. So he tells me that he doesnt require that liquid diet. He said only to stay off fats n carbs. I would like to know if anyone can put a copy of their liver shrinking diet menu up so that i can follow n begin my process n see. I need to know if this works for me since i have tried everything n nothing is working.. Thank you in advance if anyone can help Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

Congrats im sure that by now you are walking on air happy with your decision. Can you tell me whats the name of the protien water tou used or a picture . thnxxxx Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

I dont get it. As my understanding u say in your post that your surgeon uses this thermosmooth procedure. You also say that you trying to find info on it with 0 results. And you say you never heard of this before and you dont know anything about it... Then all of a sudden your Conversation changes and you know all about the procedue. You even put a website here and you have knowledge on what your saying. You explain it detail by detail. You even explain how it works n how long it takes n how many sessions nessesary. But i thought you said you couldnt find any info on it. Then you go on to say "We are able to tighten and firm loose skin" so you do know about this procedure and your promoting it. Is that it. Because you confused me here with two diff. Stories. Sorry im not here to offend no one i just want to know whats the deal. Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

Woww sounds yummyyy. But where did u find the peppermint davinci syrup Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

My surgery is in the end of may and i asked my surgeon to give me the pre op liver shrinking diet and he said that it wasnt ness. He said just to stay away from carbs and fats . n thats it...that worried me. I was givin a copy of the liquid died so i will do it anyway . better safe then sorry. Does anyone know how many Lb anyone can loose with this pre op liq diet??? Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

Omg sorry. but its over now n im sure your now doing fine. Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

My sleeve is on may/june. Im 213 now. Im here if u need to talk. Stay positive Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks so much. I will try it n see how it goes. Scared to go into surgery without this diet. I have read that many sleevers have gone into surgery n the surgeon had to stop in the middle of the procedure because the liver had too much fat n it would be considered high risk. thanks again Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

Congrats on your srgery im sure your doing just fine. Keep us posted Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

So anyway i would like to do a pre op liver shrinking cleanse and see if i can loose some weight. It would be a great help thnxxx Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

[emoji120] congrats you will do great. Im due for sleep first week of june because i had a 6 month wait. Havent lost but 5 lb. I asked my sugeon to give me the pre op liver shrinking diet now to see if i can loose. He says its not ness. If anyone in this grp can help me by putting a pic of this diet it would be very helpfull for me. Ok gd luck Keep us posted of your progress Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

My sleeve is in 3 months, and i asked my surgeon to give me a pre op Liquid menu so that i can see if i can follow it n loose a couple of Lbs before surgery. What he told me was that i donot need a pre op Liq. diet at all. just to stay away from fats and carbs. He did not limit my calories either. Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi guys...I dont write much but i have been following all u guys for a while trying to get as much info as i can for my incoming may surgery. I AM 57 yr old. And my sleeve is in may. today was my final weigh in . i am now 210. My lowest weight has been 190. I look ugly at 190 (as ive been told) because My butt disapears n my boops will fall along with my stomach. [emoji4] Does anyone know if Horizon NJ Health insurance pay for loose skin surgery? I really dont care what people say , i know i need to loose weight for my health no mater what...I need this surgery because i have tried all diets n nothing works, im like a yoyo dieter. Another big concern is that i asked my surgeon to give me a pre-op liquid diet menu..but he said that i do not need any pre_op clear liq diet. He just said to stay away from carbs n fats and i can eat whatever i want. But i dont find that normal. He said that post_op is liquids for 3 days then only protien for one week then puree after that. So i dont no if all this is ok or should i do Water n protien for 2 whole weeks. Its like he doesnt explain anything i have to ask the questions if i want to know. Then there is the isue of GERD medication pills AND MY HIGH BLD PRESURE meds. Can i take those medications in pill form after surgery??? [/url] EVERYTHING IS SO CONFUSING.. Also will i need someone to stay with me after surgery since i live alone? IF THERE IS ANYONE THAT HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS PLZ. LET ME NO AS I NO THAT PERHAPS IM OVER REACTING BUT IM SCARED OF THIS SURGERY N WANT EVERYTHING TO BE DONE RIGHT BECAUSE ANY MISTAKE I MAKE CAN LAND ME IN THE HOSPITAL N OUT OF WORK FOR LONG TIME N I CANT AFORD TO BE OUT OF WORK. I WORK IN A NURSING HOME. MOVING N LIFTING PATIENTS SO I WILL BE OUT ONLY FOR ONE MONTH OR LESS. THANK U GUYS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP OR ANY ADVICE U CAN GIVE ME[emoji120] Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app is

Well keep up the good work n zip zip zip. [emoji16][emoji16] Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

Tanxx Gerl86 for your response. N congrats on your post-op. Im glad your doing good. Yes, i guess every surgeon gives different instructions. I will let my pcp know if its ok to continue taking my meds or change them to smaller pills......I just pray everything comes out fine. This is my second intent with the sleeve. Two years ago i was going to do it and i had cold feet and backed out.
