Wow! Good luck to you neighbor! I just got my date today and ordered Protein Powder from Unjury. I saw some good feedback on it on this site.

Jasonsmom,

I changed my mind on the band and got the sleeve 9 days ago. I'm still on (supposed to be on) Clear Liquids which give me no energy at all. I should have waited until I could take full liquids before returning to work.

Otherwise, all is well. The experience overall was great. How about you?

Everything went okay. I can't imagine going back to work on Clear Liquids. I only had that for 3 days and had no energy. It will be two weeks tomorrow for me and I am really just starting to feel semi like myself. What made you change your mind to the sleeve? My Dr. wanted to do that but my insurance didn't cover it yet so we stuck with the band...

Jenn,

I changed to the sleeve because I didin't want to have to find a doctor for my fills since I had my surgery done in Mexico. My BMI was only 31 so insurance wouldn't pay.
