Liberated Sleeve

Mine is TinyTum for (tiny tummy) - came to me after I saw her on the X-ray screen during my recent barium swallow!

My surgeon says mine is a 32 french

More importantly look at your BMI now - WOW!! Congrats!

Guessing you ate it already - so how was it?

Amen!! I feel the same way about this forum - glad you are doing well in your recovery!

LOL - no they didn't but many times throughout the day you are gonna wonder!! That's why we are here! Good luck with work and take small breaks here and there - your body is still recovering!!

Can you take the 2nd class like next week?

Congrats LTARLTON!!

Exactly how I felt!! So weird you used the alcoholic reference. Once I came to the realization that if my mother had an option to have surgery which would have been a tool for her to fight her addiction to alcohol I knew she would have done it in a heartbeat. So I had no more doubts about whether I should proceed with my surgery or not.

Ah, girls don't be too bummed! Surely they wouldn't have been in style anymore any way!! LOL -

Hot chicken broth helps too when you are ready to strangle someone - maybe its the heat that helps calm the nerves, not sure, but I used it instead of killing my boss! LOL - YOU CAN FINISH!!

Or you can use a candle warmer if you want and if you use small bowls or plates they will fit on them.

Had several injections while in the hospital but none at home.

You knew you were happy but it's nice to know when others can see it as well!

Didn't have a drain and am doing fantastic 5 weeks out!

Ah, how sweet!

Lunges and the bike will help those areas

I didn't introduce any spicy liquids during my 21 days post-op but once I started soft foods I did make my homemade spaghetti sauce which is spicy and meatballs and I tolerated it just fine. I have had a few other spicy things and had no problems. My NUT didn't have any restrictions on spices only carbs - lol!

Yeah, let your body rest some!

Congrats!!

Liquids don't take that long, but I am guessing you have figured this out by now

I too was told by my surgeon if I wanted to guarantee the diabetes would be reversed the RNY is the way he would recommend. He didn't try to force it on me he just stated that it would definitely be reversed with that surgery. He agreed that the results could be the same with the sleeve but no guarantees. He also agreed that if the VSG did not bring me the results I wanted I had not eliminated the RNY by doing the VSG first. Well it has been 1 month since I was sleeved and the most awesome outcome so far with my surgery is that I have not had to take any diabetic medications or high blood pressure meds since my surgery which is just freaking cool!! (I was on 3 for the diabetes and 2 for the blood pressure!) I have logged all my blood sugar results twice a day for my surgeon and he was tickled pink with the numbers yesterday at my appointment. Just wanted to say I am extremely happy with my decision to proceed with VSG surgery!! I know everyone is different but I hope you have the same results. God Bless!! :wub:

Runny mashed potatoes and a part of a fried egg was awesome!

LOL!!

Agree with Jjen! Go for it
