I'm thrilled to have the honor of being among the strong women and men of this amazing support group.

As I prepare for my weight loss journey, I will be taking copious notes of all your advice.

I am having it done by the great Dr. Frank Veninga of Carrollton tx...Dallas area

Oh dear no...lol...my Dr. Is pretty laid back. I'm not even doing the pre op liquid diet which means I'm pretty much going cold turkey

I have the same doctor and am having surgery at Baylor on the 15th. I'm nervous but happy to have it done!

I'm scheduled for the 22nd also! I am half way through the 2 week liquid diet....UGH!!!....No one has said anything about blood thinner shots though...as a matter of fact they told me not to take my daily baby aspirin for this last week before surgery..... I'm getting the revision surgery from lap-band to sleeve...hopefully....My doctor said he will try to do it all in one surgery...fingers crossed!

Well maybe the patch will make you feel warm and fuzzy. Lol

What is the patch for? my doctor called me in one pill that I'm supposed to take the night before surgery. $50 after insurance for one pill!!

That's an anti-nausea med. Odd he ordered something that expensive. I'd hope you have ZERO nausea!

That's what I said! After paying $50 for a pill that retails at $130 I better not have any nausea!!
