Nothing....well, I didn't get anything. Lay on the table, let me take .2 sec to look at ur incisions to make sure they r not infected, u keeping liquids down, great go to mushys, and see u in 4 weeks to discuss a fill....I waited 30 min for my appt and no lie I was in the room for 3 min... nothing to be worried about :)

Waiting on approval from the insurance company. I'm on pins and needles! I. Can't. WAIT! I'm trying to get my kitchen/work/life organized prior to the (hopeful) surgery.

In your opinion, banders, which type of Protein drink/powder was best? Which ready-made tasts best. I teach school and will not have access to a blender, but I do have a little mini refridgerator.

Any suggestions?

Thanks! (oh, and keep your fingers crossed!)

Yea he just touched my stomach then I left. Pretty much it.

tnlamb408: Myoplex lite pre made, all flavors, I don't like the powder anyways they taste gross. Or pick up some Isopure at GNC.. it's "juice" like so at least it's something but chocolate flavor (I would put some sugar free kool aid in it to make it taste better)

Hi Nicole,

My name is Lori IM 49 and decided I had to do this due to having arthritis and needing double knee replacements. So I thought I would try this instead. So far so good. I have lost 10lbs and I do have more energy. My knees are feeling better with the little bit of weight. I wished it would come off fast but I know it wont. I also am on an anitdepresant and I am hearing it might hinder weight loss. So lots of new things to discover. Lets keep in touch

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
