Wondering if anyone has any experience with Bailey Bariatrics in Owasso Oklahoma? Thanks......

My recovery has been great. I didn't even fill the prescription for the pain meds. I never needed them. I have done fine. No problems at all. Keep us posted!

Dr. Katsis did my sleeve. He has been great. I would highly recommend him. Dr Varnell comes highly recommended, too. Good luck!!

Welcome Jenn. Glad you are here. You don't have anything to be nervous about. They will take very good care of you. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress. I am 5 weeks out now and doing great.....We are all here to help. So, if you ever have a question just ask.....

Mollie, so glad that everything went well. Hang in there. It will get better. Are you able to drink much? I had a really hard time with that for some reason. Just take it easy. It's going to be rainy, so lay around and watch movies and start healing. I am 5 weeks out now and still have trouble getting in everything I'm supposed to. Keep us posted on your progress..............

I was 4 weeks post surgery this last Thursday. Yesterday evening I starting hurting right below my breast bone. You know that part where your ribs come up between your boobs? Lol....It almost feels like something is pulled, but I haven't done anything to pull a muscle. Anyone ever feel this? I haven't hurt anywhere since surgery, so this has kind of thrown me for a loop. I guess I just want to know it's nothing to worry about. Thanks in advance.....

Oksleever, so glad everything went smoothly. Sounds like you are doing great. Keep us posted on how you are progressing. Congratulations and good luck!!

Ozlifter, that's great. Glad you are doing well. Nurselaura, that day will be here before you know it....

Thanks everyone! I am not going to worry about it unless it gets worse. I guess it is just part of the healing process.

Thanks Laura! I hope that's what it is,and nothing serious. Lol.....

Yes, Good luck tomorrow. Keep us posted on his it goes. Glad you're on here.

No, TES, it's not that kind of hurt. But, thanks....Yes I do take pepcid.

Good luck Nurselaura! Do your research and find the one that is right for you. How soon are you planning to go to Mexico? I would have gone to Mexico if my insurance had denied me. Let us know how things go!!

Good luck with everything, Kimmy. The sleep study is NOT fun, but tolerable. You will just go home and go to sleep. Your six months will be up before you know it. Hang in there.....

Kimmy, you haven't had your surgery yet, have you?

Hi Kimmy! Everything is great. I've lost about 32 pounds. Recovery was fairly easy. It's been 4 weeks now and I feel great. How are you doing?

I am 3 weeks out too. I don't get to have veggies yet, though. I am curious about everyone else's diet at 3 weeks.

Good morning Butterflysecrets! I had surgery 2/21/13. I am doing pretty good. My biggest problem is really trying to figure out my diet. Lol.....Getting correct amount of protein and water. I am really having a struggle with my water right now. I finally found a protein, too. It took a while. I ended up with Premier Protein from Sam's. Good luck to you....

Thanks Megs! I will be getting some. It sure can't hurt......

I looked through the info I had received from my dietician, but I can't find where it tells me how many calories I should be getting each day for optimal weight loss. Can someone please tell me what their dietician has told them. I would like to know the calories, the limit of carbs, etc. I am 3 weeks post op. Thanks in advance for any info you can give.....

Thanks everyone! Now I have something to work with.

Thanks, sheetmetalgirl! I will check it out. May and June will be here before you know it. Hang in there and good luck to you!

Well pooh!! I have already lost a ton because of my thyroid. It makes me nervous as heck to think about loosing more. I have heard conflicting reviews on the bioten. Do you really thinks it helps?

I'm doing great Megs! Welcome Alisha! We have a great group of Okie's......Megs, I finally found a protein drink I can drink. I was so excited. I have spent a ton of money trying to find something. I tried the Premier Protein from Sam's and to me, it just tastes like chocolate milk. I was scared to death that I would be bald headed in about 4 months because of not getting my protein. Hope things are going good with everyone!!

Sounds like you girls are doing great! Wow 51 and 52 pounds. That is awesome! Congratulations!!!
