Liberated Sleeve

Well it has been 1 month today since I was sleeved by my brillant surgeon Dr. Mickey Seger! LOL - I had an appointment today and did a barium swallow test (they flavor theirs so not so bad) and all was well! I got to see my new tiny tummy! I have not had any difficulties so far other than some gas issues. They confirmed I have not lost any muscle mass since my surgery so that is fabulous! I have lost a good amount of weight which pleases me and I am eating soft foods and soon to start solids. 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!) Just wanted to say I am extremely happy with my decision to proceed with my surgery!! Hope everyone has as good a day as I am having! God Bless!! :wub:

Congrats - cute skirt!

I bet if you call the hospital and talk to the nursing staff they can tell you. Not sure if you are suppose to take that with the pain meds.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery!!

Who did you use in Mexico and cost comparison please to what she just quoted for the U.S.? If you don't mind sharing this information.

Exactly my thoughts! You look fabulous!! Great job!

Yeah, but they also have 4 carbs each so if you are counting carbs maybe that factors in? LOL - better than a snickers bar for sure!

So how are you doing now? Did you see the doctor?

LOL - yeah what JG407 said!

You will love Foundation Surgical, I definitely did. I hope you get David as your night nurse he was so sweet and caring. Good luck!!

What an awesome testimony!! Congrats on your surgery date and my prayers will be that God will guide your surgeon's hands and instruments. Please let us know when you get back and provide us updates!!

Fabulous job!!

Awesome! Congrats on your date!! Now when the family questions you on why you are only eating just a little bit - you can tell them "I have decided to take your advice and just push away from the table!" LOL - it won't be a lie and they will think they had the right answers all along! Good luck and I will be praying God will guide your surgeons hands and instruments!

I was told I was okay to take my pills as normal. Haven't had any problems so far. It's just quite awesome that I am taking 5 less then I was before! Whoo hoo!

Yep, 10 lbs for me for the 1st 2 months as well. I am 1 month out now and my largest incision doesn't really bother me much anymore.

I had a 2 week pre-op diet with 2 shakes a day and a small meal with 3 oz lean Protein and vegetables prepared with no extra fat - lost 13 lbs during that 2 weeks and my surgeon loved my liver! LOL - Congrats on your date!!!

Will have to investigate this "Click"!!

Congrats!!

Congrats!!

Are you at Foundation Surgical? Who is your surgeon??

I used it in my tuna salad.

Just found the Benitos chips and I love them! Have to eat them sparingly though cause NUT wants me in the beginning here to only have 30 carbs a day. So not much chip crunch gonna happen! LOL - but, I definitely gonna try those pork rinds again because no carbs!

In my first stall now and not really freaking out about it because I have read so many times that it is common. I can see the inches gone, my clothes fit better (some are way too big) and I feel great. I can paint my toenails again without it being a major ordeal, etc. Loving it!! Hang in there - you ain't done yet!!

LMAO - awesome post - made me giggle right out of the gate! Nickname yourself "Drop Dead Gorgeous" in that group!!
