Introduce Yourself!

[desert19 93]

I thought this would be a great place to introduce ourselves ---

I live in St. George, UT. I had my sleeve done on March 14, 2012 by Dr. Tug Miller. My experience so far has just been awesome. I have had very little problem eating, but I am working on getting more Protein in what I eat. I have even started walking! I have had great support from my 3 sons as well as my parents and the few friends I have told. I look forward to having more contacts within the state.

Congrats! I'm in the Salt Lake area and am scheduled for the sleeve on Sept. 18th with Dr. Cottam! Any words of advice for someone just 3days into her pre-op liquids?

Welcome, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. My advice would have been just tough it out and think of the long term goal of getting healthy. I had a constant headache the first week of my preop liquid diet, but that eventually went away. You have made the right decision and you have started on a great journey. I was so nervous for my surgery, wondering if I had made the right decision, but it truly was. I wish this had been available years ago. I will be thinking of you on Tuesday, good luck!! (I used to live in SLC, what part are you in?)
