Tricebhasstyle 51 Posted July 4, 2015 He guys for those of you who have had the sleeve what Multivitamin are you taking? Thanks surgery is July 13 I start my high Protein low carb diet on Sun Hey Kiki 52 ! I'll be arriving at LTVSG on the 14th. We may run into one another. This is all so weird and exciting. As far as Vitamins are concerned I'm pre op but I watch a lot of vids heck all the vids from Dr Mark Wiener or Weiner (sp?) on YT he is a baratric surgeon and he has loads of info on his channel. He suggested a bariatric vit at least for the first few months and after that I think I'm going to try liquid vitamins or prenatals (which I have taken many times preggers or not which I'm not of course lol) I'm about to try to order some of the bariatric vits and I pray they aren't too expensive:( lol Are you excited for your date?

RellaBelle 29 Posted July 6, 2015 Has anyone had someone accompany them that can vouch for the quality of the recommended hotel, City Express? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nurse 52 94 Posted July 6, 2015 Has anyone had someone accompany them that can vouch for the quality of the recommended hotel, City Express? That's a great question my husband is going with me and that's where he is going to stay the first night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
César Faz 15 Posted July 6, 2015 Has anyone had someone accompany them that can vouch for the quality of the recommended hotel, City Express? That's a great question my husband is going with me and that's where he is going to stay the first night. City Express is pretty good. It is near the border... the hotel is relatively new, bed is comfortable, service is way over acceptable... the only complain I've heard from friends who stayed there is that WiFi was a bit unstable, at least from the rooms. But CE is a fine hotel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RellaBelle 29 Posted July 6, 2015 @@César Faz, thanks so much for the quick reply. Unstable wifi isn't a big deal when my husband will really only be there to sleep at night. Very good to know. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
