I drove after 3 days, but everyone is different.

sorry folks, I don't know what I'm doing wrong???

where the heck is the pic????

Where's the "like" button on this here Vertical Sleeve Talk? "LIKE":thumbs_up:

Everyone says Miralax works the best...but be careful. I almost died taking it. SERIOUSLY! I was never allergic to anything my whole life and the main ingredient in Miralax broke me out in hives all over my body and my throat was closing. Had to have an Epi shot. Find out from your doctor what he would suggest.

So, I was helping out this lady who told me she recently lost 100 pounds and was looking for a new motorcycle jacket. I told her I recently lost 40 pounds myself and we started to talk a little more. I'm open to how I've been losing weight and it reallly doesn't bother me one way or another how people feel about it. So I told her I had Vertical Sleeve. She then confessed to me that she has the band. So We started to compare notes and look at each others bellies (sounds weird 'eh?) I have to say...I'M SO HAPPPPPPY I DID VSG! She let me feel the port thing that they do the fills in and I think I'd freak out if I had that in me. It felt like a big piece of scar tissue. Plus I HATE needles and would not be happy with "fills" She was totally rad and actually was interested in revision herself. Said it was the best thing I ever did. I'm not knocking the band, but I'm glad I didn't go that route.

GOOD LUCK =)

THUMBS UP! AWESOME!

Hey there, I was sleeved on the 21st. of January...1 day after you. I'm only down 40 pounds! YOU ARE DOING GREAT!

Thanks a-hole. This is what some total jerk told me at work. Here I am all happy to be 36 pounds thinner and some Jack Daniels breath monster tells me "I like chubby girls like you" I was mortified! =( makes me wanna get a bag of potato chips and gorge in frustration! Sorry I'm venting, but what a troll a$$hole!

I feel you totally. My husband eats and makes me want to barf now. He eats healthy but A LOT! We at one point would literally compete! I just eat at separate times now

I'm right there with you! I finally got into a sauna and hot tub....I got out and lost 5 pounds AHHAHA

Yea, if it was a coworker I'd beat him up. I work for Harley-Davidson and sometimes we get that one "total jerk" but my coworkers are all awesome and supportive. Everyone here knows I had WLS. I only work with 3 women out of a staff of 50! And one of them is the owners wife =)

AGREED =) I skipped the chips and gave the resident Golden Retriever here at work a big hug instead. Chubby is a horrible word! Thanks =)

I'm nearly 3 months out and have only lost 36 pounds! You are doing great. My advice...stay off the scale everyday! Don't worry, it will happen!

That,,,,,,is an AWESOME IDEA! Someone suggested I do something like that too. I have a feeling my incisions will fade over time. I'm weird in the way I get my tattoos. I'm working on a chest plate right now....but not tattooing my boobs. I think the incision tattoos are a definate possibility. I've been slathering Mederma over the incisions since they closed and I can see a bit of a difference =)

I'm heavily tattooed. Both arms are completely sleeved. No change ywt but I'm only about 35 pounds down. The only ones I think that won't change will be my knuckle tattoos! Haahahaa
