    Time Off From Work

    I'm a Registered Nurse (extremely physical) ~ I took off apx 4 1/2 weeks. Between us (shhhhh), I felt good enough to come back at around 3 weeks :wink_smile: .
  2. This particular thread is a blessing! You see, I was sleeved on December 6th and haven't lost a single pound w/in the last 1 1/2 weeks. I thought that I was doing something wrong. I find it SO unusual that I can eat so little (comparable to my "pre-sleeved" self) yet not loose a single pound. I have not measured myself- I've only used the bathroom scale as my guideline. It's honestly nice to know that I'm not alone.
  3. I COMPLETELY understand!! I was sleeved on Tuesday and I continue to experience hunger as if nothing was done to my stomach. To make matters worse, the smells/thoughts of protein poweder, jello, & broth make my stomach want to flip Only a few more days......I've never been SO excited to have cream soups and yogurt before (LOL).
  4. I was also sleeved on Tuesday, December 6th. My taste has SO changed ~ just the thought of broth, jello, muscle milk, chewable vitamins, AND powdered protein makes me sick I can begin to incorporate cream soups after being home from hospital 3-7 days (I'm going to try on Sunday). Congrats on your sleeve!! I can't wait to step out this summer with a new body

    December sleevers!

    Hi everyone!! I begin the protein only diet (no food) on November 29th and surgery is DECEMBER 6TH :ack2: at Henry Ford Hospital-Detroit. My physician is Dr. Genaw. I'm SUPER scared but excited to make 2012 a great year for change!!!
  6. Well, I've been "lurking" for quite a while now and now I (yes, ME) finally has some good news. My insurance has approved the surgery (11/16/11) and I'm scheduled to be sleeved on Tuesday, December 6th!! I'm SOOO scared but, I don't plan on chickening out this time ;)

    African American Sleevers

    I appreciate this thread being started as I also had questions related to the VSG and hair loss (on chemically relaxed hair). I also wondered about scarring since most of us that have a darker complexions tend to have darker scars (my poor belly is going to look like a battle ground) Thank you, everyone, for sharing!

    Look'n beautiful ~ Great job!!!!
  12. Hi Susan!! Very heartfelt post AND your story is much of what everyone else here has felt OR is still feeling. I'm to be sleeved in mid-November and the fear of doing the right thing (i.e~ surgery) continues to worry me. Several times a week I peek into the photo gallery and think of my pics which will soon post. This is going to be a tough journey for us but, we CAN do it!
  13. You can add me as a friend. I'm also being sleeved at Henry Ford- Detroit and would love a buddy!!

  14. Surgical clearance next Thursday, June 30th. Surgery isn't until mid-November so I'm puzzled why I need to be cleared this soon. Either way, I'm SUPER excited and ready for life to be better!!
