I too had similar medical concerns - sleep apnea, diagnosed with Type II Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. I had the sleeve procedure on Sept 28th. My weighin on the day of...

I had my sleeve procedure on Sept 28th and so far I have lost 40 pounds. My goal is 100 lbs. So far so good. However, I can honestly say that I have learned more from the group's dietician and...

I was surprised I had lost about 10 more pounds base on my weight the day of surgery of 286. I have avoided looking at scales since, although I am on the liquid diet now for the last 4 weeks...

Your post was exactly what I needed to hear. My surgery is in 3 days from today and I was getting nervous. You and I are pretty much the same, I am 62 and tired of being so obese that I have...

My surgery date is in 4 days now and I am getting more and more nervous - I am hoping for an easy recovery and full success. My concerns are about what ifs. What if it is not a clean success? What...

I used to have a liquor cabinet but it was always empty - someone (me) kept drinking it dry!! I am actually looking forward to not drinking for 6 months and after that hopefully one small glass of...

I am on the preop 2-week diet now. I went to a preop class and I was surprised to find out what I thought was a strict 2-week liquid diet was not that at all. I have morning and lunch liquid diet...

I would not assume everything is a go. I would call your people you are going to to confirm all is OK. I know the group I go to are somewhat less than thorough at following thru so I have had to...

My surgeon says they have everyone stay over for one night so the next day they can do a leak test of the sutures in the stomach. I am hoping one night only. I work from a home office and I need to...

Hi I am having sleeve surgery on Sept. 28th. One of the many test I had to have was a sleep test to determine if I had sleep apnea. I do but there was no follow up scheduled? I do not use a CPAP....

I am due for surgery on Sept. 28th and I play golf. So I am contemplating playing in our club's member-member tournament with a friend, but the tournament is around Oct. 15th. So how quickly is it...

My surgery date is Sept. 28th and I start on a liquid diet Sept 14th. I am guessing the liquid diet presurgery must be the worst since you still have you whole stomach and I am guessing I will get...

Sept. 28th is my official surgery date!!! I haven't found any postings discussing losing weight this way and excess skin? My cardiologist says he has some equipment that shrinks skin and that I...

Wow, I am really impressed with you weight loss and especially with your new A1C number - Can you tell us what you A1C was at the start? I'd like to know because my doctor followed my A1C all the...

thanks so much. It seems like my wishes of a small glass of wine and a small dinner with my wife are reasonable - I just need to give it some time. It looks like I am having the surgery in about 2...

Wow, thanks - 5 years is great

You are at the exact same stage as me - my information was submitted to insurance yesterday and we are hoping for approval by Friday. If so I was told I had a presurgery meeting with the group doing...

Hi all, I am a new member approaching the final steps to getting the surgery scheduled and I have some questions. First and foremost, I was told after the surgery and weight loss period is over, I...
