Hi Tina it is nice to meet you too! Thank you for the information I will certainly take a look. Good luck on your surgery next week. I guess you are getting very excited. Do you know much about the liquid diet and what types of things is best to have. I wanted to try and get a jump start on losing weight because I need to lose about 50 lbs in order to get to a good BMI to get the surgery faster. I have been on Weigh****chers for over a year and had 30 lbs off with the old plan but since they changed the plan I have basically gained it all back. I am at the point I am willing to try anything because it is affecting my life sooooo much and I just want to get back to the fun loving gal I used to be. It is so dfificult to do the simplest things any more and it gets very frustrating. I was hoping I could join you for coffee this weekend but I will be out of town till Saturday night, maybe next time.

Nice to meet you Kash. This is a wonderful site and everyone is very supportive. We are all learning as we go as the first surgery done in Newfoundland was in May. My surgery is this coming Monday and I believe I will be the 11th person done. (If anyone knows different please correct me). Keep reading and learning here and also on the main Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy page. Also there is and excellent site in the US www.verticalsleevetalk.com It was imensely helpful to me. On any of these sites you can feel free to ask questions. It is truly amazing to be part of a group of people who truly understand what we have been going though our whole lives.

Hi Everyone
I am new to all of this but I have been reading the posts for a little while now. I guess I will now become one of the gang on the road to a new skinnier life. It is very interesting to read what everone has to say and helps put me at ease that I am making the right decision. It seems to be a great place for support in this long journey and it is with people that understand the struggles. I have a very supportive family but I don't think any of them really understand what I am going through. I have been reffered to Dr Pace and am now awaiting my initial appointment so I am very anxious to learn all of your experiences so far. Hope to hear from you all soon!

Could this test actually be your sleep study? The letter for my appointment for my sleep study came from the pulmonary function lab.

Topic: RE: Starting to worry a little....
Hi nsblue: Thanks for the quick reply. I take 2 synthoid a day for my thyroid.
They are 112mcg. but it doesn't help my hair loss. I hate jello ! Yuck....LOL
I do eat most of what's in your list. My hair loss is so bad. But, I can't understand
why I don't have bald spots. My hair is everywhere.

Wow Jenn, you look so skinny!!! How does 2:00 Saturday Oct 15 at Starbucks in Chapters sound to everyone? That seemed to work well the last time. If not I'm open to suggestions. You guys know better than me where to go.

Topic: RE: Post-op
I'm only two weeks post-op now. Is it okay for my to start adding a little bit of food in yet? I was still kind of out of it when I was talking to everyone in the hospital but I was under the impression that I had to wait 4 weeks post-op before adding anything in.
