I had mine removed last year. There are so many who have to have it removed shortly after being sleeved. Definitely good to have it removed at the same time rather than after.

Hello All! I have my surgery set for Dec 3! I have completed everything , except preops, to be done before Tgiving. Ive been heavy all my life, I will turn 50 next Feb and I want to get healthy! I have lost and gained 100lbs 3 times in my life, and I need this to be the last time.I am ready to change my life and get healthy. Im 5 foot 5 1/2 , 230lbs. I want to be 150. That has been the best weight for me, but Im willing to go further down! . My family is so supportive and my deductible is paid for the year and my surger will be a grand total of 254 dollars. I am contemplating what Protein supplements to purchase, Ninja or nutrabullet.

I'm scheduled for 12/16 with all of my pre-op stuff getting done on 11/25. Right now is hoping I get the money scraped up. I thought it would be all taken care of by now but a few emergencies have popped up. I really hope I don't have to reschedule! *sigh*. Self pay sucks

Hi

I'm new to this group and my surgery is scheduled for December 5th! I started my journey in May 2013 by asking my PCP for a referral to Kaiser's (Southern CA) Options program. I completed the Options classes (3 months) on 9/26, met with the surgeon on 10/15 and now have my surgery date.

I'm excited that there are so many of us already scheduled for December...it does seem too far away.

I liked your comment because of your date. I'm praying everything works out and you can keep your date...its a good one!

[Mel1071 149]

Thanks, I hope so too! I'm just a little bummed because so much stuff has been hitting that needs $$$$$. But I am nothing if not determined to make everything work!

Elhudge, where are you having your surgery?

[elhudge 69]

Is anyone taking Vitamins and supplements now? I began taking a Multivitamin and Biotin a month ago.

I started taking a multivitamin in June and Vitamin D (50000IU) prescription weekly in August when my labs came back.
