I am ready. I have deflated my spare tire around my waist and wanting it to be removed. I have a significant pannus (grade 3 to be exact) and it is to the point its impeding the rest of my journey! I...

I just had my fourth consult--I'm 'shopping' around to find the best in regards to a TT. Two of the surgeons recommended this technique--albeit they didn't call it that--but would...

My brother had his sleeve done in MX by Dr. Alvarez. I am 99% that it showed up as a blocked/restricted caller on my phone when they called me. I never saw "Mexico" on the caller ID.

Woo hoo! Congrats!

I guess I am joining this 'club', too. I was sleeved on May 9 and the reflux has been miserable. I could not lay down last night I was so uncomfortable, that I slept sitting up in the recliner. I...

LOVE LOVE LOVE isopure. It's my way to make sure I get enough protein. It doesn't drink like a shake. I get my at GNC. They have a deal for a case of 12 for $4 ish each when you use their Gold...

I am sorry about your recovery not going as expected. I wonder if the ingredients (HFCS or color dyes) in the Power Aid might be adding to your troubles. Maybe something like Propel or Danasi...

What is she sick with? I would carry around a lysol bottle and spray everything she touches. I'd also go with disposable things (cups etc). Stay away from the common areas of your home (probably...

Congrats on your NSV! What an amazing feeling for yoU!

Happy ReBirthday to you! Love your attitude and outlook on your journey! Congrats and good luck on your recovery!

Woo hoo! Congrats on your progress thus far!

I hear ya! Congrats on that NSV :). I am looking forward to non elastic/drawstring pants soon!!

Congrats on your NSV! I can totally relate to the booth situation! I *hate* booths, but for some reason DH gets one every time. I am hoping this past Sunday's "squeeze session" into a booth is my...

I can relate to the taste of some of these protein drinks. I have been experimenting with the chicken soup and veggie soup formulas.

It's natural to be scared. I have a bad habit of running...

Good luck on Monday, Time! I would love to hear about your experience! Think my mom is going to follow suit behind me soon. My brother went to Mexico for his and I was considering the same. Due to...

Congrats on your journey so far! It's amazing what we can do with the right mind set...you set it best..I never thought I could loose 100 lbs in a year...AND YOU DID!!!!

Congrats on your journey so far! I noticed you had Dr. S...I would love to get your feedback and experience with him. I am tentative for May 9 (just have to clear a pesky mammogram that came back...

OH my...it's not RunKeeper....sorry! I use Runtastic, but have several running friends that use RunKeeper. I think all these apps are great tools to keep us motivated and show our progress :).

Love RunKeeper! My husband and I are linked so when we both have a workout of some kind, it sends the other a "You've been challenged" email. Nice to have some "friendly" completion to keep each...

I just placed an order for them. I can't do shakes either. I blame the overuse of Slimfasts in my youth...

I got some of their vitamins, protein soup, and I did get the orange and banana flavors. ...

Thank you all for sharing! I have placed a few orders with Chike, Bariatric Advantage and Unjury. I have 5 weeks before my sx date and starting a pre- Preop diet. Guess you could say I am...

Good luck! Prayers and positive thoughts coming your way!

I was going to say...get your toes done (since it will be a few weeks before you may feel like leaning over :)...), read something NOT related to getting a sleeve, or go shopping for a smaller...

Can you call the prescribing doctor and/or pharmacist to see if there are other options for you? They might be able to find another comparable antibiotic that is post op sleeve friendly. UTIs are...

I would love to know what is your favorite protein item. Maybe too many Slim fast drinks in my youth, but I can't do chocolate or vanilla flavored things. I'm starting a Pre- pre-op diet in 10 days...
