    Hi Vanilla,

    I read that you take the Andrew Lessman vitamins and that's the brand I am interested in; can you tell me please which multi you take and to you add any others to your regime? Thanks much in advance. Jennifer
  2. Thank you for the feedback. I met with him yesterday for my pre-op, he made me feel way more comfortable that I had been feeling. Looking forward to the sleeve and weight loss.

    Hello, I had my surgery on 05/12/14 and my experience with Dr. Marvin has been great! He's been a great surgeon, he was very patient and answered all my questions prior to surgery. I would like to give you an example of how good he is, at the time of approval my insurance told him they would only approve the procedure if he could do the surgery at 1 of their "Center of Excellence" hospitals. The insurance company did not consider the University General Hospital as a "Center of Excellence", so he agreed to do my surgery at Houston NorthWest. I was so happy he agreed to do that for me. He could have easily told me that my insurance won't allow him to perform the surgery, but he didn't so that just tells you how nice he is. He really cares about his patients. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.

    I hope your surgery goes well!

My first throwing up experiene.

by Vanilla on 06-14-2014 at 06:47 PM
I cooked fish with sweet potatoes last night and not sure If I ate to fast, or to much, but I had to run to the bathroom to throw up. It wasn't a fun experience, now I'm more cautious about what and how much I eat. I'm on day 9 and I'm just starting to figure out what works and what doesn't. Wow, what a process, learning to eat again is tough.
