Hi everyone' date=' I'm considering the sleeve and after reading this I'm now scared.......lost and confused[/quote']

You have to understand, there are tens of thousands of people from all over the world on this site. So, as harsh as this may sound, there is bound to be one or two that end with complications.

Rip Fred :(

That and any surgery comes with risks. Obesity comes with risks. LIFE comes with risks.

R.I.P. Fred

I thank God everyday that I was given this opportunity to be a healthier person and live longer. I will now thank him to continue to give me life so that I can continue this journey.

OMG, he died where I had my surgery, which means he prob had surgery there too and maybe we had the same surgeon. Wow God bless his soul. :( I'm sad, and he was a firefighter, and so young. Rip sweet man!

      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.
