So happy for you!!! I'm sure when I finally get back under 200 my whole neighborhood will hear me scream!!! Keep rockin' your sleeve!

I was just sleeved on Tuesday and the gas pains are a killa...lol..... I really wanna try some soft foods, but I will follow the rules. Im sick of the liquids already!!!

Thanks for sharing.

Wow, good to hear your input. I am going in on the 16th for my sleeve so need all the knowledge you can give!!!

The pain hit me the night of my surgery; I thought my shoulder was dislocated somehow...walk, walk, and walk some more - even if it hurts like heck - walk...it does and will make the pains subside.

Walking supposedly helps with gas pain. Or you can try Gas-X strips. I'm pre-op myself, so I'm really just sharing what I've read around these boards. Hope it helps!

I am 4 months post op and down 60 lbs. I have gone from a tight size 24 to a 16 1/2 pants. I don't get out that much but people in the immediate family said my face is a lot thinner. My one DIL had not seen me for 3 months and she is the only person that made a big deal out of it. It made me feel really good. We see ourselves in the mirror every day so that is why we do not see it. Others that are over weight in my family and my best friend don't say too much. I guess they are jealous or think it is so easy for us. Little do they know. This is just as hard as regular weight loss but we do get full and I guess that is the secret.

No I don't think you are being petty at all. People can be so insensitive and selfish.
