well he did my initial surg and he did my band,I knew going in that he was new at the sleeve, but my band had prolapsed and i needed to do something...he has done many sleeves since mine and they are all losing wt..he left part of my fundus so now I have horrific reflux, he offed to revise or have bypass...I dont know what to do..i told him to revised the sleeve...Im not sure where she got her numbers from, I imagine from across the board..US statistics..when is your surgery?

Yes I'm very nervous..are you doing a preop diet,?...

can someone please tell me how to delete a ticker on my signature...i finally was able to make a new one, but cant delete the old one???

August 1st here!...so glad to meet you all...conrats and good luck~~~

I also use atkins carb control protein shakes they have 17 gr of protien..Is that good for a shake?

I too am being resleeved on 7/4...*hugs* to you and good luck on your weight loss journey...

I was one of the first 5 sleeved . My fundus has formed a pouch called a neofundus..dr hoffman will shave the excess off. Still just as nervouse the second time around...eeeek!!!

Yes, he got married yesterdat 7/5... !!!

Im not doing pre op either...but I think I will be overnight...

Hi I'm from buffalo! Being resleeved on aug 1st by dr hoffman...would love to have some support since this is my second time around and feeling kinda scared....does anyone come here anymore?

Someone mentioned the brand name Walden Farms...It supposedly has no calories and no carbs, fat, etc...How can this be??..anyone familiar with this brand and how it works..She said it tastes really good except the peanut butter..I cant wrap my brain around this..I did look it up and what she said is true...would like some more opinions before I go out and buy it...thanks for any feedback.

I keep reading different opinions on whether or not to use full, low, or fat free...i hear if you choose low fat or fat free they just add more carbs to make up for it...i have found this to be true when i look at the lables...so what to do?? anyone with more information please tell me what to do...I want to make all the right decisions, but when there is so many conflicting reports, it is so confusing...ty

Thanks everyone..I do appreciate all of your input it really makes a big difference going into this whole process with your eyes wide open. my surgery is in one month I'm going in for a sleeve revision the doctor did not take enough off of my fundus so this time I'm hoping everything is as it should be.....

Wow...thanks ladies, surprised they can sell it in the supermarkets...ugh...what is the world coming too??

my surgery is aug. 1st, waiting.............

I am 3 yrs out and i still get them occasionally.....
