First week went great. I slept the first three days and couldn't eat anything really. It got better by day 5. Second week if tough because I got hungry but by the third week I was fine. He doesn't make us do a pre op and he has one of the best plans after surgery. I've seen ppl on liquids for 5 weeks. We only have to do one week THANK GOD!!!

Hi again' date=' Yes I have been sleeved already and it was worth every penny. I am 3 months out now and have lost over 50 pounds. The first few weeks are hard because of the liquid diet but easy at the same time because you are NOT hungry. I still don't get hungry. It's just hard trying to get as much Protein in as you can during those weeks and having to take small sips. I did try and eat whole food too early...got a phone call and forgot to chew thoroughly.. that was not a nice feeling. Take things slow.. the pain was not bad at all. And the results are fantastic!!! Are you on yahoo or MSN> we can chat and talk more about it and I can help answer any questions you have before and after. :) I got my surgery done in Baton Rouge with Dr. Hausmann because 2 of my coworkers got it done by him 3 years ago and they swore by him. He is a great doctor and the hospital was very caring and understanding and helpful too. Find me on yahoo - I work all night. :) NINfem1 on yahoo Rebecca[/quote']

Hey!! I was sleeved on 10/28 with Dr. Hausmann! 13.1 lbs down. :-). So glad to see you on here. Was getting lonely! Lol!

Hi All- I'm from NOLA and am in process of getting tests and evaluations for Sleeve. I have chosen Dr. Lavin but have not yet met with him. Still mentally preparing myself for the mental and physical changes and making sure I'm ready. How did you know it was the right decision.? Any info. About my doctor and your experiences would be welcome.

      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.
