    Hi! I saw you have Dr. Mandelbaum- I have him too, but had lap band surgery (which has failed!). I'm considering GS and was wondering if you'd be willing to compare notes?

    Hi, I saw on a post of yours that you no longer have your period, just wondering what your age is? Thought you may be somewhere near my age. I'm 51, near the same weight as you, and wondered if I could keep in contact with you during your upcoming sleeve surgery.

    I am halfway through the program, with surgery sometime in November (if I decide to do it LOL). I've been very curios what to expect @ my age as far as recovery and how fast the weight will come off. Oh, my name is Tamra & I'm from TN ;D

Water Retention

Has anyone had unexplained water retention in their legs before/after surgery? I have had water retention problems for the past 10 years, and it is not caused by high blood pressure. You name the test, I have taken it. The Dr's cannot figure out why I have been retaining water. On some days it is up to 10 lbs of water (just in my feet). I look like I am pregnant (belly and all LOL).

Anyone else struggled with

I have begun my process in this journey. I have met with the surgeon, and have been meeting with the nutritionist. I have been overweight my entire life, so no prob getting proof of that from the doctors. I meet with the psych next week, and then have to attend a support group the following week. Once that is complete, then they can submit to my insurance. I have talked to my family doctor, and she said she will help in any way that she can, which is Awesome!!

I am not doing
