Hi Betty and Tiffany!

Really?? I didn't realize they did it there. My husband is retired Navy.... I'll have to check to see if I could qualify. Are you Active Duty? Or Dependent?

Hello Erce!! I am still subscribed to this thread....still debating surgery. May I ask where you had your surgery?

I am not too far from Bowie. What hosp is your Doctor at? I am very excited for you!! I have to wait until late this year or early next year!!

OMG....didn't even think about the whole camel toe issue! Lawd help me! *L*

Thank you all so much for answering for me. There seems to be very good reasons FOR doing a liquid pre-op diet (which I didn't really know until you kind people answered me!) and even if the Doc...

Thank you Binks! That's a really great idea!

I hear a lot of people discussing how difficult the liquid pre-op diet is. Does everyone have to do that? Whne I met with my surgeon, he never even mentioned it. How long do you have to be on...

I have not had the surgery yet, but I am going through Johns Hopkins Hospital, Dr Sweitzer. They are great there and there is a lot of support and things you can do to educate yourself both before...

Congratulations to all of you who are losing! I have one question for you long-timers.....do you have an appetite? I have not gotten a sleeve yet, but am in the process of getting everything...

excited-and-scared, you are quite a ways away from me, over there on the eastern shore. I am on the other side of the bay. I live near Naval Air Station (NAS) Pax River. Some people know where...

Thank you so much! Did you ever hear anything about Dr. Switzer? He didn't seem too overly friendly, but seemed very competent! He kinda pushed for Gastric Bypass when I told him I wasn't sure. ...

I was in the exact same spot as you about 3 months ago..... Then I talked to a woman who had the bypass. The amount of vitamins she has to take is unreal. And she says if she forgets, her mouth gets...

I tried looking in the regional forums and found the site a little difficult! I know how you feel about the drive. I go up to Baltimore too...and it takes me 2-2 and a half hours to get there,...

Unfortunately I don't have a date yet. I am going through Johns Hopkins and they have some things they require me to do before they even submit my request. I live further south than you, down in...

Thank you so much! You are my first "friend" Hubby and I appreciate it. I am still trying to figure out how this site works, and it may take me a little while, but hopefully I'll figure it all out. ...

Thank you both! Very happy and blessed to be here!

I am in Southern Maryland looking for others from this area to share stories and expiriences with. I have had no luck finding anyone yet, so I am trying it here! Hope to find some new friends!!

Thank you!!

I am new to this site, but I have started my journey towards getting sleeved. I went to a seminar looking at Gastric Bypass, but was very nervous about what they did. Then they talked about Gastric...
