juswant2bhealthy 33 Posted July 28, 2013 Hi I live in south broward and will be having my surgery on July 31 with Dr. Emil Matei at Memorial Regional in Hollywood 1 ClinicalNurse82 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClinicalNurse82 6 Posted July 29, 2013 Thanks for responding. I am terrified of the 2 week liquid diet before surgery. I'm afraid I'll fail. I'm so anxious and can't wait to have surgery. The 6 months supervised diet seems like forever. Im only going on my third month. I was pretty nervous about the 2 week liquid diet also...but it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be..The first 3 days were the hardest..and then it became much easier...the time will just fly by..and by the end i was only drinking 4 shakes instead of the 5...you will do great! If i can do it...anyone can!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slave to Senor Sleeve 40 Posted July 30, 2013 Getting sleeved Aug 15 with Dr Moises Jacobs. I got sleeved by Jacobs too (and I work at UM medical school). I love him! JMH south was impressive, good care, good team. Side note, I don't think he is super aggressive with his sleeves, meaning he takes out 75% not 85% that other posters here talk about. But at 3 weeks I'm still swollen and can only tolerate 3oz of purée foods. But can drink easily and had very little postoperative pain (did have big hiernia repair so my surgery was long at 2hrs). Feel free to PM me if you have questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
