Thinking about getting the sleeve.



Recommended Posts

I too am thinking about getting the sleeve. I was so against it but I am watching my mother go through it and it is doing wonders for her. I have not always been overweight I started in high school when I really started gaining weight. I played sports in high school and I ended breaking my ankle and after that I was afraid to do anything. So I started gaining weight and eating junk food and not keeping up with everything that I use to do. I am not at 309 at 23 years of age and it is affecting my life. I was working out but then fell off. So now I am wanting this sleeve because I want to walk across the stage a healthier person for graduation.

Why were you against it, originally?

One thing I would really encourage you to do is to look inside and ask yourself why you have been treating yourself this way. If insurance is to pay for your surgery, chances are you will need to show that you have given an honest try at losing weight on your own. What have you tried?

The sleeve can be a fantastic tool and solution for many, but it isn't for everyone. Good luck to you!

Oh I have been working out and changing my eating habits have never been a problem it's just seems to be when I get in a state of stress, and since then that stress has been released from my life at the moment. I was against it because my mother was going to have it and I was so afraid of something going wrong I started to be again it. I was so terrified that I made me have negative feelings for it but since she has progressed so much I have since then not felt that feeling towards it. I know why I have been feeling this way this is way and treating myself like I have been and that is how I came to the conclusion of wanting to get the sleeve.

      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.
