I can talk to you, I may not have all the answers but I have a mentor that helps me and she has lost over 100 lbs in a year. I have a date set for surgery on June 6. I can wait. What is going on with you?

I am netting with my surgeon for the first time tomorrow, I already do w my psych eval and got my referral approved, just wondering whats doing to happen tomorrow! Because I hear so Manu different stories!

On my meeting with the surgeon, he just talked to me about the procedure and the things I have to do to make this work. He reminded me this is a tool to lose weight and what I do with it is up to me. They had me sign a promise to do certain things like a pledge to drink 64 ounces of Water and exercise at least 30 minutes 4 to 5 times a week and a bunch of other stuff. They gave me my pre-op diet and then asked me when I wanted to have the surgery so they could check their schedule. Then I was given my surgery info and when to go get blood work done. It was a great appt and I am so excited.

I'm Day 21 post-op. Wassup? How can we help?

My appt with the surgeon was similar to Shayes. A commitment to take a Multivitamin daily, exercise (even just walking), stick to the regiment (Clear liquids, then Full liquids, then Purée, then Soft Diet, then Regular Diet)... Etc.

Surgery was scheduled. It was a good appt.

Do your surgery was scheduled the day of the metro g with surgeon??? Did you have to do a liquid diet? How long after the netting was ur surgery!??

I got the surgery date the day I went to my surgeon. I had picked a date and hoped he could do it that day. He could. They gave me the menu for my 2 week pre-op also. I have not been sleeved yet. I go June 6 by choice.
