Interesting read - for Newbies especially and us still working it out

Thanks for that, I found it very helpful! Wish I had seen it before I had my check up post op, would have questioned my doctor on a few things!

Hi out there,

I also found this site with the manula by accident, and thought the manual brilliant, and sent it to a couple of friends whom are thinking about having a weight loss procedure.

I am a newbie and only been done 8 days but so happy about the loss of weight starting to happen already, though dying for a decent meal at times but must admit that I am not hungry, so yep goodbye to the awful hunger hormones.

My biggest discomfort is sore shoulder blades, which I can't seem to get rid of .

Disey

yep Lin i thought so
think its brilliant for newbies

and yeh Demi - i found any red meat i had before 4-5 months i couldnt keep down unless it was mince
its way to heavy for a healing tummy so its good advice.

seriously alot of info in there i would take as gospel
as most the long termers they will agree.

but some of the medications i was surprised by like nurofen and advil!

read it, very good info. be nice to have this prior to surgery

That is interesting. I wonder if it will match what the dietician says. No red meat for 4 months?

thanks, will read it soon.

Its great a big help

yep i think all surgeons should have this for their sleevers

maybe i will send it ot my surgeon an say - um maybe u should do this!

What a great "sleevers manual" I got all that info from my surgeons office but in dribs & drabs would have been good to have it as one package thanks for sharing I will be passing on to my two GF who have just had their sleeves done.
