I drink diet pepsi on a daily basis. The argument it will stretch your stomach makes absolutely no sense. Your stomach would have to resemble a tied balloon in order for that to happen. If gas...

I'm glad you mentioned that Janet because I've gone back to diet soda even though it doesn't even taste good. Just a habit. I'm done with it as of today. Thanks. :)

Congrats!!!

We should have seen each other tangle. Were you in the recovery house? I ended up at the hotel because the rh was too full. Worked out nicely for me though. I got plenty of rest. Thank you...

I'm wondering if the acid reflux problem improves? I'm taking tums but I think I would have to take 15 a day to get the problem at bay. It just started for me about 3 days ago.

I figured I might as well put it out here to be answered instead of constantly worrying about it. Am I going to stretch my stomach by drinking too much water? I want to drink all the time but I try...

Wow! Great demonstration. I love to drink. I think I may like drinking water, diet soda, herbal tea and more even more than I like eating sometimes. Before seeing this video I was planning to...

I have a question about your meals. I haven't had the sleeve done and I'm kind of sitting back and watching and learning that way. I have something I haven't been able to figure out. Many people...

Nope I didn't disappear. I'm just sitting back taking in the advice. Thanks everyone for posting. Since I'm cutting back and paying more attention to my tummy. Luckily I don't drink my calories...

This may be a very silly question but I'm having a major problem controlling my overeating. My surgery is scheduled for next month. I keep trying to get it together thinking I might as well get a...

I'm so excited for you. I have to wait until July and it is killing me. I have only heard wonderful things from people on this forum. You will be very happy here and very happy with your decision...

Amazing!!! Congratulations. It's so inspiring to see how you are enjoying being more active. :)

Wow! How wonderful!

That is exactly what I did. Youtube was extremely helpful for my decision but this forum was the support I needed now that I've made the decision. Welcome! I'm pretty new myself. Surgery in...

I'm pretty postive Texas is one of the states with the enhanced driver's license. I'm sure it's a bit late for that now but maybe good info for your friends. Oh nope I googled. It's Washington,...

I am in the same boat. I have called to get mine rescheduled but no call back. :( I will call again tomorrow.

That is an amazing price. I really thought getting a Mommy Makeover would be way down the road after my sleeve but this is very doable. I can't wait to hear how you like everything. :)

Have you guys ever heard of people that practice calorie restriction? I saw a show about it about 10 years ago. This is more than normal dieting. They keep their calories extremely low (about what...

I hope so too. Have any of you that used Dr. Almanza gone by yourself? I'm thinking of doing that so my hubby doesn't have to take time off and I don't have to make arrangements for the kids.

Thank you everyone. IrishGirl I'm so glad you mentioned that. The only reason I knew what to expect was a youtube video. Thank goodness because I would have insisted I be taken back across the...

Hello all I'm new here. It looks like I will have a surgery date of June 10th with Dr. Alamanza. I would love to hear from anyone that saw him for their sleeve. I'm very excited for this new...

Can you tell me more about the insurance? I'm currently looking into getting a gastric sleeve with Dr. Almanza. I haven't heard anything about insurance yet.
