Pixie Dust, I am 51yrs old and will be 52 in April. I had my surgery Jan 28th 2013. Best desicion I have ever made. I wasn't scared of the surgery I was scared of the after surgery nausea/vomiting. That worried me the most. I had none other than 2 X's in the hospital. I have had no issues. I was off work for 13 days. I have a desk job. I am loving my sleeve. At 6wks my BMI dropped out of the morbid obese range! Good luck, I hope you get to do this asap! Nice to meet you!

I am 6wks post op and weighed in at 229 today. My BMI is no longer morbid obese as of today!!!! I am loving my sleeve!

Hello January Sleevers. Today I am 6 wks post op and loving my sleeve. Today my BMI is no longer morbidly obese!!!! I have dropped 24 lbs since surgery and 58 lbs since seeing my surgeon the first time on Oct. 17th. I have had no issues with my sleeve or surgery. :wub: I love knowing that I am not going to over eat when I sit down for a meal :wub:

Good luck tomorrow. Prayer for a speedy recovery! You will be fine. Keep us posted.

Yep, it will be for the best in the long run. Frye Storm, same thing happen to me with the insurance.. I was waiting to set my date and they had forgot that I changed from band to sleeve so had to re submit..put me about 2 weeks behind. I am good now 6 wks post op!

Awesome Job on 100 lbs !!!! Rock that Sleeve!!!!

congrats!!! You will be fine and do great!

I am on soft foods and not really having a problem. While on puree I tried some smoked chicken breast pureed with bbq sauce. I was able to eat it, then it set like a brick in my stomach. I didn't get sick, but I sure didn't like the heavy feeling. Tonight I went out to eat with my husband. We had mexican. I ordered a chicken enchillada with the sour cream sauce on the side. When it came out I scraped the salad off the plate. I scraped the chicken out of the corn tortilla and poured a little sour cream sauce over the chicken. I ate small bites with a spoon. It tasted awesome and I had no problem. I might of had an ounce of chicken, very little cheese and sauce. Good luck. I haven't had any issues. I normally measure a 1/2 cup food and most of the time I can eat all of that and then I am done.

Awesome journey! I am 5 wks into my journey. Post like yours are so inspiring!

I am 5 wks out and down 22 lbs since surgery. On soft foods and keeping my fluid up and protein up. I feel amazing and I am loving my sleeve.

dumb question, how do I add a picture to my post?

I had 2 stitches where my stomach came out and steristrips over my other 5 sights. Nurse took them off at my 1st post op appt. and took out my 2 stitches....I can feel stitches under the skin on the smaller incisions..kind of creepy feeling.

Dang! work that sleeve!
