WORTH IT$36,000
Hi everyone I'm Tiffany. My knee dr. mentioned wls to me 2 years ago to help relieve some of the pain my access weight is causing but I didnt think much of it. I found this site when I was researching tummy tucks since I have a family history of large round tummies that drop to your knees as you get older. I can't have that I'm just too young and fabulous! :)) Well I had a tummy tuck consult and the dr. told me the results would not be great until I lost a lot of weight. After learning of the sleeve and reading tons of reviews I knew it was what I wanted and needed. I just don't have another diet left in me! I know you guys can relate. I started with my seminar in November and I was approved 2 weeks ago. My surgery date is MAY 25TH!!!!

Thank you! I agree it's a great day. I'm getting more excited and less nervous now that everything is a go.

Your surgery is on my Bday. While I haven't done the sleeve to lose weight I applaud you who I think like myself comes from a long line of family who just settled for what they've known and refuse to make changes. Best wishes for a safe and successful surgery.

I had my surgery on 7-25-16, as of today I have loss 6lbs I'm very happy, I still have a lot of pain in my stomach, there are six holes with staples which I'll get out next Tuesday, the one that hurts the most is the largest incision, I'm not able to drink the 64ozs of water or the 60-80 grams of protein I just cannot, I'll talk to the Dr on Tuesday, right now I'm on the two weeks liquids + protein shakes..

Congrats! I hope your healing is going well. Continue to sip sip sip. I still don't get all my fluid in because water is not as comfortable to drink anymore. I get exhausted easily so I believe my body is still healing and adjusting 2 months post. Hang in there. It will get much better.

Getting my lists together
I'm in the process of getting my lists together for things I will need at the hospital and for the first few days when I get home. Please feel free to post the items you guys found most useful. Also, I am lactose intolerant so I'm seeking lactose free protein shakes. Know of any good ones? I have the pre-surgery jitters at this point but I am choosing to focus on the positive. I have had 4 babies and a tubal ligation so I'm not new to being the patient. Lol!

Congrats! Just had my surgery 5/4 and am down 13 pounds. I packed a full on hospital bag like I was going on vacation. I can tell you now that all I really needed was nightgown, slippers, hairbrush, toothbrush and toothpaste, phone and charger and my kindle. GOOD LUCK!
