Everyone is different, I was sleeved on 10/1/2012 and as of this morning I have lost 10 pounds. When I came home the afternoon of 10/3, I was down 7.3 pounds from the morning of surgery. But I did not have any bloating or gas pain at all. Interesting and I can't wait to see more responses.

Ok, I'm here for my first Super Saturday Weigh In. I was sleeved on Monday, October 1, 2012 and my start weight was 252. As of this morning, I am 242.7 so I have lost 9.3 pounds since Monday. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

I was sleeved on 10/1 as well and my hubby and the kids had pizza yesterday. But it smelled so bad to me that I had absolutely no desire to eat any. In fact, I have yet to truly feel hungry. Congratulations on the 14 pounds. I'm actually down 9.3 pounds as of this morning, much better than gaining. I know what you mean about the same old liquids getting old. Are you on full liquids much longer? I have another ten days! Ugh!

Darla, Thank you for the well wishes and prayers. Surgery went well in and of itself. The nausea afterwards, however, was awful. They gave me five different medications in the recovery room to try to curb it and I was still gagging/ throwing up violently on the way to my room. When I got to my room, the nausea stopped for the rest of the night. Then the next day it came back with a passion and, finally, they gave me a very painful shot in the arm and that put a stop to the nausea. However, I apparently pulled a muscle in my neck with the violent vomiting. And, although, I don't need pain medication for anything truly surgery related, I am having to take the pain medication for my neck. I can't sleep at all unless I'm taking the pain medication. I have an appointment scheduled with my PCP next Friday but am hoping that the neck pain will be gone by then and I won't need to go. I can say that it is very strange to only be able to drink so little. And love the fact that the smell of foods I would normally crave stink to high heaven, therefore, causing me no desire to eat them! (My husband and the kids had pepperoni pizza yesterday and I almost vomited from the smell). Anyway, I am doing pretty well, I think. And can't wait for the next meeting so I can see everyone again! Thanks again!

Another October 1st sleeved checking in... Surgery was at about 1:30pm yesterday and surgery itself went well.howver, ihav had the absolutely worst nausea since I woke up. And this morning I got a terrible headache. I haven't been able to sip my little cups of water or tea because of the nausea. It seems to have subsided some now and I am working on second little cup of water. Headache is still here though. Hoping to go home tomorrow but that will all depends on whether or of I can get my water in or not.

I understand and feel the same way and I will not be leaving for the hospital for another couple of hours! You will do great. I will be thinking about you and praying for you and all of our fellow Oct. 1 sleeve-buddies! See you on the loser's bench!

I'm scheduled for tomorrow too. And same emotions! I don't have to be to the hospital until 9:30am and surgery is at 3:30-ish. Good luck tomorrow!

Sophia, Thank you! I cannot believe that it worked out the way that it did. They had a cancellation and rather than having to try to call and see if anyone could move their surgeries forward, they asked me if I wanted it! I said "Oh heck, yeah, I can do Monday!"

Okay everybody, I cannot wait until the next meeting because I will be about a month out from surgery!!! I had my consultation with Dr. Fedorka today and they had a cancellation on Monday so I took it! So this time Monday I will be sleeved!!!! Woohoo! See everyone in November!!! Kirstyn

Well, I just had my consultation with my surgeon today and got my date.... Monday, October 1st!!! I lucked out and they had a cancellation so I took it!!!

I haven't been sleeved yet, but I had my lap-band removed on 7-19 and will hopefully be sleeved by the end of October/early November. When I came home from the lap-band removal, my then 3 year old, now 4 year old son wanted to be able to jump on my lap as usual. My husband and I explained that I had some boo boos on my tummy because my Dr. had to do surgery to help me feel better. We also explained that my tummy would be hurting for a while and that he needed to be very careful with me and that if he wanted to sit in my lap, he would have to climb up gently because I could not lift him. We also told him that I would have to go back to the Dr. and have this done again. He has been really good... one of my incisions is still scabbed and can be painful at times and he sees me clean it, put Neosporin , etc. He likes to pretend to be Doctor Ian, like Doc McStuffins, and pretends that he is giving me medicine and putting a bandaid on me to make me better. (He invented his own pretend medicine that makes everything better within 30 seconds and apparently its in liquid, pill and topical form!)
