I was told no liquid diet because my BMI was less than 40. I do have to do a one week diet of high Protein, low fat and carbs. I can handle that!:thumbup:

Did they do it while you were asleep in the OR? Was it a big help? I cant wait

Hi, I have a very mild form of RA. As of right now I only take Mobic for relief. I will stop those a week before surgery. I have not taken methotrexate at all (thank goodness) and I have not taken Plaqunel is about a month. So I should be fine there. Thats the reason I was so happy when I found about the sleeve. The band would have been a big risk for me because of the high probability of needing steroids and lots of NSIADS in the future.

I am BEYOND excited! I can hardly sleep honestly. My husband says I am obsessed I just cant wait!

Oh my I am so sorry to hear about this. Please let us know what you find out when the Dr comes back in

I'm so glad you asked this! We are huge college football fans and we have season tickets and tailgate at all home games. I was hoping to still be able to partake a bit during that time! I dont drink other wise but I do enjoy my morning bloody mary in the a.m. on game days! :confused1:

Wow I bet you are having a hard time. What were your symptoms after that first week that made you go back to the doctor or did they find it before then? I'm trying to find out all I can and what to watch for after. I said a prayer for you just now

You guys getting as excited as me!!! 3weeks and 2 days till I fly out! Nerves are starting to do weird things to my dreams at night.

:thumbup1: So glad to hear it!!!

Congrats!!

Thanks and congrats on loss already!!!! Good job!

Hey congrats on your sleeve and great experience! May I ask even with the language barrier do you think you would do it again there? I mean you felt well cared for? Did they feed your husband? I ask because mine wants to know (he's helpless ya know haha) I am praying for you great outcome and feel that God will keep me safe as he did you as well! Thanks in advance for any more advice! Im scheduled June 15

funnursechick just got back and she posted her experience on her profile

Welcome!!! So glad to meet you! :scared0:

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and when I don't take my NSAIDS my symptoms get worse for sure. Hopefully once we lost his weight the pain will decrease without meds!:scared0:

Hey Gator mom... Tiger mom here :001_tongue: wishing you the best of luck. Keep us informed on your recovery!

So sorry to hear all this. I think this is everybody's worst fear (leaking) and I am so sorry it has happened to you guys. Please keep us updated on her condition

Right now I'm in 20's and 22's depending on the clothes. So to go down to a 14 would thrill me!

Oh it is SO exciting!!! I still have that huge fear this wont work for me but as I have seen on here everybody has that fear so I know that is normal. My mom bought this huge lot of clothes from this company last year. You dont ever know what will be in there so when she got them there were so many nice things in 16's, 14's and smaller. So i got some of the 14's and I have held on to them in hopes of the "one day" I cant believe that may around the corner

I have always been a hourglass shape. Even at my heaviest I still have a much smaller waist and a bubble booty:( not is a good way, I would love to be a size 10 again but I want to be realistic in my goal setting ya know?

The thought of being back in 14's comfortably makes me smile!

REALLY?? WHOO HOO!!! That means I may get there with about 70lbs lost. I was thinking 100. The thought of trying to lose 70lbs terrifies me but its sounds better than 100 :thumbup:

Im trying to set reasonable goals. I would really like to get back to a 14 so im curious about what weight that might be at

About what size were you wearing at 170? Thanks!

Good luck! Keep us updated on your progress!!
