I also liked the beds!

I really liked it there- I only stayed 1 night though. (we had enough people that wanted to go back to San Diego a day early) But it was great. The nurse on staff was...

I had the same thing this past week- although I wouldn't call it a stall. I may not have lost that many pounds but I did lose a lot of inches this week.

At this stage, I'd say when you aren't...

I'd say go for it, but dont' get your expectations up!

Not all guys that age are immature, my guy is the same age as me 21 (also in great shape AND very hot) and he understands what I'm going...

I agree, I got wheel chair service and it was fantastic! Especially going from the states to canada..saved a lot of time with security and all that. Plus you get to board first.
We were originally...

I thought I couldn't have whey at first, so I tried soy (it's okay not my favorite), I tried the brand Vega (vegan protein- so gross) but I came across egg protein and I LOVE IT!

If you go to a...

I find that ice cold water I can take bigger drinks of, and more quickly. Anything else...nope, has to be sips and spread out a bit.

I am also lactose intolerant. I enjoy any brand of Egg protein- this is dairy and lactose free. Mix with almond milk, and delicious.

Also, if you get a high quality whey isolate protein it has all...

I have a full upper back piece, 1 on my ankle and 1 on my wrist. I was careful where I placed them when I got them (years ago) incase of weight loss or gain.

I told my boss I was having stomach surgery- but HR knows the real reason why. My one boss asks a lot of questions- and I don't think he means it in a bad way. When I got my wisdom teeth out, he...

Syntrax Nectars! They taste like juice...just mix with water and you are good to go! I am drinking fuzzy navel right now and it tastes like tang.

I also use an egg protein powder (vanilla custard...

Is it bad for us sleevers to be intubated after?? I haven't heard anything about that.

At first I wanted to be very private about it, especially at work but I work closely with 10 people and it's...

I am required to take a laxative 3 days before surgery and I've never taken one before...

I bought one the other day, but I realized it's not a "right away" kind. It takes 6-12 hours to work. I...

I'm not into the online dating AT all- so many douche bags just trying to get into your pants!
I always meet guys through common friends and out at various bars/pubs. I tend to not talk to the...

Ha! My thoughts exactly....I live in "Deadmonton" and travelling to other cities doesn't worry me one bit..

Maybe there is a clause (is that the right word?) for this type of procedure because it's not as common?

I'm not sure. It would probably be best to called the insurance company and they can tell...

I am assuming because the recovery house is closed, that is why you would have to share a room or pay to get one alone! (just like at the hospital or recovery house you share) It is the only place...

Hello fellow Albertan! I am from Edmonton :)

November will come so fast!!

I take the live acidophilus pills (the ones you keep in the fridge are best!) and I don't take it for acid.
I find it helps prevent, and treat any yeast infections..it's also a good bacteria for...

I agree....it's almost normal for me now to get this sick this often! But I will have to go see a gastro doctor, and see if anything is up! Thanks for the advice ladies

I've always had a very sensitive stomach (lactose intolerant, select meats/foods make me sick etc) and I can't eat very early in the morning without having to make many bathroom trips. This is...

I am curious to see how my period will be after surgery as well. I skip it monthly with birthcontrol to avoid it....but the ones I do get 2/year are brutal!

If you ever wanna message me about this, feel free! I am sure my friends are getting tired of me going on about how I am excited to get this surgery.
We have the same doctor, just 9 days apart so we...

Also, I am not sure what province you are from but I am from Alberta. You get about 1300$ back from AHC and you can claim the rest on your taxes. So that covers a good portion of the costs.

I am also from Canada and am having the sleeve done Sept.28th in Mexico with Dr.Almanza
It's 4500 plus your flight and hotel. My flight and hotel cost me an additional 500.

I haven't had the...

I'm having the surgery on a friday morning and I'll be back to work the following thursday. I am hoping this is enough time off because I can't get anymore off...it was a fight to get those days off...
