Peaceful

Sleeved on May 17th- ride about 250 miles today with my boyfriend- a little sore middle of stomach-from my pants- wore comfy ones tho- but felt great to get fresh air :-) love it- held a bottle of water sipped all day :-)

I have followed my instructions fairly well- sick of the bland none satisfying foods but my concern, bad heartburn - last night I threw up - just A little stomach acid- today my stomach hurts from that pressure- but I have a headache - behind my right eye- down into my neck- for a few days now- just won't go away :-( Am I possibly dehydrated? calling the doc is a hassle on the holiday- I tried yesterday Sleeved May 17th- any advice??

I have never thrown up yet- but pushing eating the same things over is making me nauseated. And my pain meds don't sit we'll anymore :-( Sorry to complain

I was the 17th as well- I've been very emotional- nothing is satisfying me- try to eat the suggested list- sick of everything- can't force it down- hard time sleeping never get more than 2 hours at a time. I kinda cheated today took a few small bites of egg- chewed them to liquid- very slowly- was able to not have my stomach growl for a few hours and even got a true nap in! How bad of a mistake did I make? Trying to finish off my day with the list again :-( I know everyone's different- but when does it get better?

I came home last saturday after 3 days 2 nights in the hospital - really no complaints. Pain was managed, food was on track. THEN went to my parents, things for the most part ok except my sleeping was thin a hour here an hour their. On Tuesday I decided to head to my house. Getting really sick of the same foods, feeling nausea (still taking 2 nausea meds and the patch) nothing satifies me, my stomach is always growling. Not sure if thats just gas and it's just upset with the foods I give it - or I am just that hungary. So last night I went to get a few groceries, picked up a few things that may not be 100% acceptable. But I can't sit here and cry for another week until I get to move to the next step. Still only sleep for 2 hours at a time tonight. Have 1 pain med left - going to call doctors office in the am and try and figure out how to make me more comfortable. At my post op doc appt which was on Tuesday - they said everything looked normal and my attitude issues were to be expected. Bottom line - yeah kinda cool I lost 17#'s but I suffered along the whole time - is it worth is? would I recommend it? - all YTD. Thanks Amy

I week post op- having meltdowns- can't sleep uncomfortable, can't force the same bland foods down - feeling lonely and blue. My mind is everywhere - but down 16#s Time will tell I guess!!

I was sleeved yesterday May 17th at - 1pm Went alot better than I expected:-) I will write more later- if anyone has any questions send them my way anytime.

HI Peaceful here, My name is Amy 43 years old only child - recently divorced (18 years) no children (2 step boys still activly in my life-2 step grand daughters) I am employed full-time at 3M :-) working shifts :-( making post it flags!! I started my journey to have surgery 1 year ago this month - I found out today I was denied so will start the appeal process on Monday - very sad about that was hoping to have surgery this month. I completed all my insurance requirements - unsure what the reasons are for denial except I missed a month of the 6 month required nut classes due to I fractured my foot and was unable to travel. Lets pray it's just a short snag. I am doctoring at Fairview in Southdale Dr. Laguna. Any input there would be appreciated!! Beginning weight 245 Current weight 234 Excited and confident for this new change - a bit nervous but thats to be expected I would have to assume. Will update next week when I find out more about my appeal!! Nice to meet everyone :-)

Dr. Laguna Fairview Hospital Excited, nervous- but determined!! But not going to back out!!

Thanks for sharing - my surgery is set for May 10th - and the crazy lady came out in me today - I am so mad at my boyfriend - and I have not even had the surgery yet - he loves to eat - he talks about how he hopes I still cook the way we eat now for him - I am 2 weeks out and I am already being bitchy - after 12 hours of fighting not even sure what about anymore - I am sad. Maybe I am just nervous about my surgery, altho excited and can't wait - Anyways I understand and I am glad to hear I am not alone!!!

May 10th Minnesota No pre op diet at all- a bit nervous- just on eating after and I hate pain- very excited to feel better :-)

Yes Motorcycles :-) I love horses too - just have been afraid I'd hurt them - maybe when I lose my weight I will ride horses again too!!

I can probably find this somewhere- but what is the goal weight for 5'2 female? And what's the average time to achieve this with sleeve?

Cool what state are you in? I am in MN

I was going to take the class this spring- decided to take care of this first - but someday I hope to ride my own!!

I am 234 surgery may 10th-

May 10th in Minnesota

I am from Minnesota - can I ask where you went - I have not heard back from Insurnace yet - hopefully this week. I have not talked to anyone that did it at Fairview and Dr. Laguna.

I am using the apple phone app- is there somewhere that explains how to use this site? Make my profile, look at other profiles, find blogs, and know when someone answered a question I had Thanks

Yeah I guess we can't see blogs, or profiles with the Apple App- its a bummer!! But thanks for the reply- I am new here :-)

New here- how do I get to the blogs? Thanks
