Hi I'm in reading. I was planning on the sleeve, but now my dr recommended bypass due to reflux. So now I'm going crazy trying to find out more about bypass. I was so focused on the sleeve. Hope it goes well or you.

My dr recommended the same thing, as I had horrible reflux. I knew from the start I didn't want the bypass though. I still went with the sleeve, and I couldn't be happier. It's been almost 9 months, I'm down 100 lbs, I still take prilosec daily as a preventative measure, but reflux hasn't been an issue.

Hi everyone. I am getting sleeved on Thursday, Nov 29 in Harrisburg at Community Hospital. Dr DiMarco from Pinnacle Weight Loss Center is performing

Operation. So far Pre op has been a breeze. It is getting so close, only a couple of days, many mixed feelings but mostly anxious for results. I started at my high

Of 307, dropped to 302 and now two days prior I am at 295. I am looking forward with a positive outlook to a new life with dealing with food responsibly.

I had Dr. Ceppa and yes, I live in the area... Exeter to be precise. I would love to have someone to talk and walk with! I feel amazingly better today, but it's been a little rough up to this point. How about you? Tell me all!

Done! But I haven't told anyone, nor do I intend to tell anyone, that I've had this done, so please don't mention it on my timeline. :)

We have a mutual friend... My son's girlfriend!

      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.
