Did Anyone Not Lose Wt The First Few Days After Surger?
donniej commented on Vicki147's blog entry in Vicki147's Blog
It happens, the IV fluid takes a while to get out of the system, but dont be surprised if you lose 10 pounds in a week -
If the surgery is successful, you will never eat as before!

It normally takes about 12-14 weeks for a leak to heal on its own. Mine was about 12 weeks. Its a tuff ordeal,but I would also do it again to get the results I have from the surgery. As far as who does the surgery, do your homework! Every surgeon with experience has had a leak, it just happens. If they say they never had one, that means they have no experience! I wouldnt want to be thier first leak because they wouldnt know how to handle it! For those that have or had a leak, I pray for you but hang in there it will get better.

Folks Who Have Had Complications
donniej replied to Pegsinthewoods's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Getting sleeved after a band erosion is possible,but the complication risk goes up considerably! I was sleeved after a (bad) erosion, I did have some complicatios but Its still worth it! -
Im a Louisiana sleever, Im located in Cenla.

I was sleeved 12/27 and Im down about 55 pounds + or - 2 pounds. I couldnt be happier with the results so far. Ive gone from a tight xxl shirt to a large, a tight 44 pants to loose 40's in just 3 months. Frumpy I dont understand the regrets, youve lost 49 pound in just over 3 months. Thats great results. Please dont get the mindset that the losing is over because its not! Everyone goes thru stalls, some short and some longer, if you continue to follow the rules you will see results.

For Those Who Went To Dr. Aceves...
donniej replied to bnorms's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Have you told Nina what airline you are flying? If not you need to. The driver will pick you up at the baggage claim terminal for your airline. Most likely he will be in a small silver van, he may not be outside the van so just watch for any van that may be holding a sign up with your name. -

tried this today, very good! Next time I will use less lime in the burger, 1 whole lime added alot of limeness....lol I also added some adobe sauce to the sauce, I love the smokey flavor, This sauce would be great on fish tacos also! Thanks for the recipe and I will make them again. -
I was NPO for 2 1/2 months and yes it was a odd feeling when I first started on liquids, you have to start out by sipping water,very slowly, it will get better in a few days, but sip sip sip, a normal swallow after the NPO will hurt, Goodluck,it will get better.
