Those are absolutely normal feelings to be having, I would be worried if you weren't scared, nervous and excited all at the same time. You've got this girl, you will do fabulous. Let us know how you are doing as soon as you feel up to it. Sent from my iPad using VST

Ladies, please remember this is the men's room, and thus, posting is for men only. Thank you.

I was released to any kind of exercise, etc. at six weeks out and had no problems. You should most definitely be well healed and ready to enjoy yourself at seven weeks. As long as you are feeling good, you should be fine. Sent from my iPad using VST

Good luck to both of you, it really is the beginning of a wonderful new life! Sent from my iPad using VST

Absolutely, one can contact the doctor directly. Sometimes, by using a coordinator you may receive additional follow up care or a discount, but at doesn't mean you cannot book directly with the doctor themselves. Sent from my iPad using VST

I traveled from Jacksonville to there and back and did great. Coming home, the airlines out of San Diego are actually very used to having Medical Tourism patients fly with them. If you tell them you just had surgery, they are very good about looking after you, making sure you get plenty of Water, etc. In fact, Dr. Aceves sent some broth with me for the trip home, and the steward had no problem with heating it up for me.

Serenity1959, yep, we know exactly who you are talking about. It is sad, because she used to be his greatest supporter. She is now very anti Dr. Aceves, and feels the same about VST as well. She seems to have a lot of anger, and none of us truly understand it.

Yep, this is a known problem. We will be coming out with a revamped board and new mobile apps soon. Sent from my iPad using VST

He is definitely amazing. I credit him with saving my life. When he did my sleeve, he found three tumors on my liver and removed them. Who knows how long before they would have been detected if it weren't for him. Sent from my iPad using VST

Very soon now, our boards will be completely revamped and all of these problems should be eliminated. We are in the final stages now, and are testing as well. Sent from my iPad using VST

I really haven't found anything I can't eat either. Every once in a while milk bothers me but that is really quite seldom as well. Sent from my iPad using VST

You definitely need to push yourself with the Water. Constantly keep it with you and every few minutes take several small sips. It is difficult, but I promise it will get easier as time goes on. It is vital you keep yourself well hydrated. The Protein will come, worry about it more in the next two stages of your post op diet. Right now, just keep sipping as much as possible.

I actually never had a problem with it when I had my band. However, once I got my sleeve it was a whole different story. Over four years out and I still have to take a Prilosec every day, otherwise it is unbearable. But that's okay with me, it was a small price to pay and the Prilosec does a great job of controlling it. Sent from my iPad using VST

Girl, you are going to do fabulous, and Omar will make sure to that! He is fabulous and keeps me updated on how you are doing as well. I can't wait to follow your progress. Oh, and yes, you got our name correct, MySurgeryOptions.com. Sent from my iPad using VST

It was still warm! Sent from my iPad using VST

Oh no, no worries there. Sent from my iPad using VST

No we don't! Sent from my iPad using VST

Oh goodness girl, I hope you feel better quickly! I spent the morning at the ER with an infected and bleeding hemorrhoid, unfortunately it did not cause the scale to move, lol Sent from my iPad using VST

Mmmm, I had half a chocolate chip cookie from Subway today. It was good, and I deserved it after the emergency room visit. Sent from my iPad using VST

For once in my life, I am totally without the words to properly express what I am thinking. Thoroughly entertained though! Sent from my iPad using VST

We can only hope! Sent from my iPad using VST
