Starting the process, looking for information



Recommended Posts

I go for my consultation the end of July. Thinking I want to do the sleeve. Does anyone have this and not like it? Or wish they had gotten it. I am trying to eat a more "limited" diet to see if I can follow through with out soda and sugar. How did everyone adjust to the different diet? I am 5'3 and weigh 230lbs. Looking to lose 100lbs. Any tips for me?

Welcome mommamiller, I hope you receive the information you need. There is forum on here started by s9meone who says she is sorry although most people aren't, quite a few,regard it as a REBIRTHDAY in their lives and feel quite lucky,to have found it.

I'm getting the sleeve!I had my first nutrition/exercise class yesterday and someone asked how often their patients regret having WLS and they told us that this virtually never happens. They also said that a majority of their patients who have revisions do so out of medical necessity (such as having severe acid reflux), but not due to lack of weight loss.

I had a bypass . Mainly for maximum weight loss and to get rid of any chance of reflux . I also notice(d) that many sleevers tend to have revision to bypass for medical reasons . I didn’t want to chance having two surgeries .

I’ve had zero issues, pain or vomiting etc or anything people tend to think of when they think rny

Good luck with your decision

      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.
