Liberated Sleeve

Awesome testimony! I too hope to be in love with the whole process!!

You look fabulous!

Hey Katyb - I'm in San Antonio and just received my sleeve on Monday - let me know if you need anything! I'll be glad to help! Who is your surgeon?

Congrats!!

Whoo hoo congrats!! Yeah, better to get the surgeon all rested up!! Good luck

You look fabulous! And thanks to the person who provided the explanation of how we could grow taller. I have always been measured at 5'3.5" to 5'4 & when this doctor took my height at 5'2" I was like.... No freaking way!! So they took it again and yep it was true. Freaked me out, I was getting rounder and shorter, dang! So I now have hope I will regain my tall status again. LOL!

Absolutely gorgeous!

Awesome job sir!! You can tell your kids are so proud and in love with you! I know it must feel great to take on any challenge!

Not all the surgeons in the US are about the money - that is a little strong.

No it shouldn't feel that way if your tummy is ready for the cream Soups. I think those are week 3 for me. Still on week 1.

Awesome! You must be following those doctor directions to a T!!

Congrats - praying for speedy recovery for you!!

Sleeved Monday too! - I know it seemed like just seconds had past!! Then my family were in my hospital room making moriphine memories to torture me with later!! LOL - Happy Healing DebVzw!!

So far so good. Loving it at this point in my life! I am planning on posting a story a little later down the line, after I have lived more of it! My approval process went very fast and seems that the surgeons were pleased with my liver! Good luck with your journey!!

I guess we should take it as a compliment that they want to wear our clothes? At least they like our style! I am hoping to lose one shoe size - no more!!

Same here, clear liquids only week 1

Okay, so I couldn't agree more! Even though I had read on here that I would probably gain weight after surgery because of all the fluids they pumped into me I guess I must not have believed it possible or of course it wouldn't happen to me the scale loves me right? Wrong!! I had surgery on the 5th weighing in at 222.6. I got home yesterday afternoon around 2:00 pm. Did all my stuff getting settled back in and knew I shouldn't weigh but really couldn't resist and imagine the shocked look on my face when the scale spit back in my face 228.4. WTF!!?? Okay, maybe a few pounds but really 6??? So I just shrugged it off and knew I would be peeing it out soon enough, but still, how rude!! This morning I decide okay gonna do it again just to see.....226.2 - okay so I could still be discouraged or say "Hey wow I discarded 2 pounds since yesterday!" LOL - so I opted for the "discarded" approach!! I love this forum and am glad I found ya'll because you understand the ups, downs and overall in between! Everybody have a great day!!

You look fabulous!!

3 days out and have already conquered two of the goals I wanted as results from the surgery. I was on 3 medications for Diabetes...none taken since Saturday before surgery (so 5 days) and 2 medications for High Blood pressure... None taken since before surgery! The sky is the limit from here...

Sleeved on 3-5. I have been walking, walking and walking to deal with the gas and I found a list of things to take to the hospital, on this site, and it listed Gas X strips, they are wonderful!!
