    Are There Any Single Sleevers Out There..

    Single sleever here in Lousiana. Been that way for a while but kinda looking forward to changing that! For most of my life I didnt like me, so I didnt expect anyone else to. Thats beggining to change.
  4. Living in Louisiana, I loved all things spicey,now after the sleeve surgery I cant tolerate nearly the spice that I use to. Doesnt taste the same and the sleeve isnt happy,indegestion,heartburn ect....

    Did Anyone Not Lose Wt The First Few Days After Surger?

    If the surgery is successful, you will never eat as before!

    Leak 4Ever?!

    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.
  9. Its not as bad as the thought of it coming out. Really doesnt hurt.
  10. Anyone have Lasik surgery in Mexico, Im seriously considering it and woud like to see if anyone has any experience with this, surgeon,prices ect..... Thanks, Don

    Folks Who Have Had Complications

    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!

    Dcember Sleevers Progress?

    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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.

    Will This Ever End?

    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.

  21. My doctor prescribes Nexium right after surgery, I doubt that liquid stuff will do any good.
  22. Im no doctor nor did I stay in a Holiday in lastnight , but if the pollen in Tenn is half as bad as here in Louisiana I would bet on allergys, I say this because I have the same symptoms. Good luck and hope thats all it is.
