I have my band to sleeve revision on Aug 11. I would love a friend or someone to chat with that I can give and get moral support, share ideas, etc. My family is supporting me but I want somebody who really understands what I am going thru.

I'm doing mine on Monday. I am very anxious and becoming emotioanl from the stress. I've been miserable with the band for 10 years now. But I want my life back so badly. I haven't worn a pair of shorts since 2005, and I live on the Texas coast!! It's HOT outside and I miss out on so many things because it's too hot to hide in long sleeves and jeans. While the devil puts the doubt in my head that this wil fail too, I am ready to prove him wrong.

Good luck, learn as much as you can prior to sleeve, learn how to sip your drinks and ween yourself away now from caffeine and soda, exercising prior to surgery is also beneficial, light circuit training works, and don't be afraid to ask your surgeon anything, you need to comfortable with them, I had mine on June 10th in San Antonio and I am making great strides, inbox me if you need anything, but on some questions it is best if you are told to ask your surgeon since a lot of the regimens vary, like diets, Protein intake, and post op diets, this is your journey and it is much easier with the right support!!!!!! See you on the loser's side

Hey Jen. I think I sent you a private message. Not sure if I did it correctly or not.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
