Deb I am lifting you up in prayer!! Big Big Hug!!!

what kind of acid reducer do you think is the best to take. Something like a one a day thing or ??

I have just returned from Marie Calendars. I ordered the potato cheese soup and I only ate about 1/4 th of my bowl. I felt full and stopped and I have left over soup for dinner tonight or tomorrow. Plus for three of us the bill was only $20!!! A couple of weeks ago I would have just gotten started with the bowl of soup then I would of ordered an entree and finished it up with a slice of pie. I am very happy!!! :biggrin2:

Hey Hey for Southern Cali!!! Whittier, Ca here Newly sleeved looking forward to sharing my journey with you all!!

Wow what great ideas!!! I have a trade show coming up in Vegas and this will be a problem for me as well. Buffetts thankfully not a bossy nosey lady though! LOL! Good Luck Mid West!!

I had the band and it slipped. I did really well with the weight loss until it slipped though. One thing I use to hate with the band is that I would get stuck all the time. I think out of 365 days in a year I was throwing up (productive burping??) at least 300 of them. Is there a way that you could self pay? Dr. Almanza is doing the sleeve for 5200. I was very happy with the level of care I received. Just a thought My Mom has the RNY with Duodenal Switch. She has had it for the past 12 years and has done beautifully. I would choose the RNY over the band if it was me and those were my only options. Good Luck with whichever path you choose. big big hug!!

When I was in TJ at the Recovery house there were a couple of ladies that had the "works" done and they seemed to be tolerating it ok. I really would like to get my arms done at some point if possible, but if not I guess thats ok too.

Pumpkin you are not alone. I too was feeling this the first week. I was so very depressed and wondering what in the heck I had done to myself. I feel I have snapped out of it now and I really just Thank God for the people in the Group for that!!! Prayers are with you! xo

Hi Xandria! I am new to the site as well. I was sleeved on 1-28-10 in Mexico with Dr. Almanza. I was like you extremly nervous mostly because I was going out of the Country for the surgery. Everything went really well though so the worrying was for nothing. There were about 10 of sleeved in 2 days at the same clinic and out of all of us only 3 had a tough time with the anesthesia. Me being one of the 3. I just dont tolerate the gas very well. I had the same thing happen when I had the lap band put in. I will say the very best thing you can do is get up and walk as soon as possible. It really helps get that gas out of your body. I was right as rain in a couple of days though. I am loving life getting use to my new stomach and I have already lost 20 lbs!!! I wish you the best and know that I will be thinking about you and praying for you as well!! xo

It worked!!! Now to post some pictures!!! I just love this site!!!

Well lets see.... I think I have it working now

Yay Margo!!! Good Luck and Speedy Recovery! Looking forward to hearing about your experience!! Woo Hoo!!!! You are doing it!!! YAY!!!

I am jealous!! You are one day ahead of me. I had surgery on 1-28 and I started my mushie phase last week Wednesday and I can barely get anything down. I tried eggs last night- scrambled with spinach and couldnt do it. I feel so frustrated!! I guess I just need to stick with liquids longer? Happy for you though!!

It worked It Worked It worked!!!!! Yay!!!
