My name is Erika. I am 26/f, 5'3", 250lbs. Married four years, no kids. I have a Lap-Band (hate it). Having my revision done 8/17/12 in Tijuana with Dr. Jose Rodriguez-Villareal. I have decided I'm going to do this, but I need a mentor. I'd love to have anyone with advice or suggestions who is comfortable talking with me! :) I am very friendly, outgoing, and pretty positive. I will

Thank you, and have a great weekend!!

Glad to see you've locked it down, and got your mind made up. You're gonna do great. Unfortunately I'm a guy, but I'm sure there will be plenty of ladies around.

Hi Erika,

Sounds like your making a good decision. Sorry the lap-band didn't work for you. I thought about the lap-band, but decided against it. Now scheduled for a sleeve 6/15/12 in Cancun with Dr.Verboonen.

I think your going to do great. Your young have a wonderful attitude. Plus your a cutie! You may have to change your email address..LOL

If you have any questions, send me a pm or list it on the sight. I work for an excellent bariatric surgeon at a center of excellence for years and just decided I needed vsg. So I had one 5/21. But everyone here tries to help and give advice and list their own hardships. It's like a family. Welcome to it

Hi Erika,

I had my VSG 4/4/11. I'm going great. If you have any questions, I would be happy to help in any way I can. This was the best thing I have ever done for myself. It saved my life. I just started running. I never thought I would ever run..LOL I signed up for a 5k in Aug, so its now or never !!! I spend more time on OH than here. So send me a message and we can chat. Jane

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
