nicolek Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hi Guys So 4 more days until my surgery. I'm not nervous as I trust Dr O and had a good experience with my lapband surgery. and very excited. I've lost 11lbs of the 13lbs I need to lose for preop and confident when I get there I would've reached my goal. I'm staying at the Caminoreal and was wondering if I should bring my bullet for protein shakes. What do you think? Anyone else going to be there?

Leslie999 Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Hi Nicole, I will be arriving to OCC on Sunday a getting surgery on MOnday the 8th, I too am staying where you are. I would love to get in touch with you. I am having the plication surgery and I understand you are getting the full on sleeve. I too had a band and loved it until my slippage. I have gained most of my weight back and I am hoping that I am successful with this surgery. Why did you decide sleeve instead of plication?

There is now a forum set up for plication patients. . . I will still check in here every once in a while, but will mostly be posting on that forum . . . Wishing all you Nov. patients a great and successful surgery and a wonderful after surgery experience. . . LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolek Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hi guys , I found the Sleeve easier than lapband to get over as less pain although the drain made it harder to walk around places. Once that was out I felt fabulous. The staff were amazing as usual and after switching hotels life was good. I was bored as I went by myself and stayed a whole week but caught up on some reading. After my adventure traveling home which I have posted about I'm exited about losing the weight again. Will be on here loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
