Hello, I'm new to all this!

[Doreykn 113]

Hello, I am fairly new to this. I had my Sleeve done on Oct.26th, 2011. Starting weight was 250, weight day of surgery 236.Today's weight 225! Hardest thing for me so far has been crushing the pills & mixing them them to get them down, but I'm learning! Hopefully it won't be long and I will be off most meds!!! I'm on a regular liquid diet for 2 weeks, then progressing from there. I have read some of the posts on here & they are quite helpful. I have high blood pressure,diabetes, bad knees & a bad back. I'm praying with the weight loss some of these issues are resolved! :yesnod: I look forward to meeting new people that have gone through the same.

This me the day of surgery

HI Doreykin,

Today I came home from my surgery. I understand where you are with this all being new. I had never posted about myself and have learned to gain support from folks on this site. Tiffikins and LilMissDiva share a lot as do several others. I really appreciated the research from Tiffikins and that helped me on my journey. You will find real experience is the best help. Keep reading and going to the different sections like yea cats suggests.

Hang in there and best wishes.

Sandy

Hi! I just joined today myself. I had my first consult appointment November 7, 2011. Been in the process of gathering the last 5 years of medical history, got a note from one doctor for the 6 months of consective supervised weight loss, and the psych consult. Monday Nov 21 I will have my nutritionist consult and meet again with the weight loss doctor on Dec 1. Then the process of getting everything submitted to my insurance and hopefully have an approval soon after!
