First topic message reminder :

hey all,
recieved my date for op. Sept 25th it is.
Now stomach in knots.
Have to have endoscope first. What can I expect?

Wow Sam. Easy going teenagers? I didn't know there was such a thing LOL.

I have almost twins - or is that almost triplets? Not, not really, but currently they are aged 15, 16, 17 - and the most beautiful, easy going, SLIM teenagers. Not as fraught as having a new born, a 9 month old and a 2 year old way back when it all started :-)

Ang there is already a thread created for you in the Calendar entries.
I will merge this with the original one.

Daughter first due to emergency C section. Son in distress. He too is left handed.
Ang

your daughter was born first ?) question I ask everybody with twins and you would be the first that I know who has a boy girl set where the boy is born first if he was :)

Like just about all second twins the son is left handed, we like to remind him he is brain damaged hehehehehe

thanks Chris,
I am now waiting for next month. The forum is really great for answering ?.
I have also learnt alot from Steph. She is the guinea pig for me since she was sleeved last month
cheers, ang

Hey Ang, that's great!
Apple told you about leaks, but didn't mention that they rarely happen, so don't sweat it.
Best wishes
Chris

OMG apple sauce, don't say the preg word.
My twins are now 12 so along with an older child, I have had over the national average.
I am looking forward to heading into the post menupasual range.
Have been doing some research on utube and google. Not very computer savvy.
Only found all these answers today.Sorry for not replying.
Don't have to do the optifast before op.Hubby suggested I try eating an entree size portion for dinner.
Yeah right
I wouldn't be doing the surgery if I had the will power.
Steph, I'm rapped with your weight loss and will pop over soon
Ang

Ang I was so excited when your hubby told me last night you got a date.

Pop over and tell me all soon!

ang there simply are no long term bad things that can go wrong with a sleeve. One of the main reasons for having one. With bands you can have slips and erosions months or years later. With the sleeve the only real problem that happens is a leak which can only occur in the first week or two. this is damn serious, but nobody has ever died from it. Once you get past that time frame you are set. You go on and have a normal life have babies do what ever. The only recomendation is that you DO work on that window of optitunity int he first 1 to 2 years at getting the weight off and avoid say getting pregnant, even tho it would not harm you or the baby it would harm your weight loss as such. With all weight loss surgery it is advisable to take a multivitiamn a day, and for women who still have their periods and iron tablet. But again the reality is that should be the norm for most people any way. Any questions just ask away :)

My husband is worried about the long term effects, if any on the body after having such drastic surgery.
I'm not too concerned but would like any info from other long term sleevers. What are some of the probs that can occur?
