Hello Fellow Sleevers - Please help! After I eat ANYTHING, I feel gas type bubbles travel up my back which HURT! They're very uncomfortable!! Makes me want to NOT eat! Do any of you guys this? If you did, does it go away?? (I am 15 days post op) Also, does your stomach make noises and grumble/move after you put something in it?? I'm freakin' out and feel like I won't ever be normal again!!!

Just wanted to give you ladies some hope. Here's a little background: Had surgery April 3, 2012. Tried to get pregnant since September 2009. Started trying to get pregnant again in April 2013 (one year post op). Got pregnant in October 2013 - NATURALLY (tried fertility treatments in the past). Started pregnant at 163 pounds (5 feet 6 inches tall - was 271 on day of surgery). I am now 26 weeks and 3 days pregnant (due June 22, 2014!) with a healthy baby boy! Went from 163 to now 169 pounds! 13+ weeks to go!

We live far from all of my family, so I post weekly pictures of my baby bump on facebook hehe. I hope to end the pregnancy at at MAX of 185 (which would put me at a 22 lb TOTAL gain)... but, if I'm less, that's great, too! Baby boy measures perfectly, so, I can't complain! It is HARD seeing the number go up on the scale, though, haha

Thank you!

I got pregnant exactly 18 months post op! I went from 271 to 156 and started the pregnancy at 163. I am now 26+ weeks and am now 169 lbs and am pregnant with a healthy baby boy! We tried for 4 years!

I'm almost 5'6... 112 pounds down, from 271 pounds. Age 22 When sleeved, just turned 24 this weekend

I'm up 6 pounds... and it's extremely frustrating... ugh! it's getting me super discouraged... which I know is ridiculous because that means I've still lost 112 pounds... but still! Ugh! I need to get back on it...!

You can absolutely do it!!! 3 years, wow! How is it 3 years post op? I'm 14.5 months post op right now. 4 pounds - and with the weather getting more enjoyable outside (for exercise) - definitely possible to do it!! Thank goodness for the sleeve, right?

Thank you! How are you doing??? I've been following your journey! You have such motivation!!!

It has been almost a month since I've weighed in. I was 156.0 on April 18th. As of today - May 12th - I'm 154.8 pounds!!! About 117 pounds LOST &&& officially a NORMAL BMI!!!!! :-D

It's been 17 days since I've weighed in... I'm at 156.0 this morning! I've lost a total of 115 pounds now.

Thank you!! And congrats in joining weight watchers! Please let me know if you like it or not, I've never tried it but have thought about it

160.7 last Saturday..... 158.7 this Monday Morning! That's 112.5 pounds lost! My one year surgiversary is April 3rd!

I was 161.4 last week and weighed in at 160.7 this morning so, that's awesome!! My one year is on April 3rd and I'm currently at 110.5 pounds lost!

Still at 161.4 pounds...

Thank you!!! And you *can* do it!! it took me about 11 and 1/4 months to get where I am right now...and my personal goal weight was 169... So being at 161.8 (as of this AM) is literally a dream come true...and never did I think I would be where I am today! So thankful for my sleeve so. Can be a healthier version of me! Congrats on your sleeve!!
