Hi All,

I'm attending a seminar on the 21st on the sleeve. Is anyone at this point? I'm scared because it's a huge life change. Also, silly things run through my head like... how will I know if I'm eating slow enough? I'm so afraid of getting sick. Also, I always pictured my wedding with champagne. I'm reading up and I know that's a big no no! I don't want to be in pain! Can anyone help with these questions? Thanks!!!

Hi Dawn!

The seminar my husband and I attended was very helpful, informative, and enjoyable. All of our initial questions were answered and even ones we hadn't thought about were discussed as well.

I hope your experience is as positive!

My husband was sleeved two months ago and says learning to pay attention to his body's cues has been a major factor in his loss of 50+ pounds.

I am excited to get sleeved by Christmas and look forward to all the help and support on this site.

Wishing you all the best and look forward to sharing in this journey. ☺

I was so nervous when I was attending my seminar. I was acting like I was about go to surgery that day! Lol it was very informative and felt comfortable to commit to getting it done. Now I'm almost done with my requirements for my insurance. So it may be August or September when I have the surgery. Now the nerves
are back! Lol

Wish you the best of luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
