  1. So sorry about your experience. I had surgery in Raliegh too on the 25th of January. I was fighting to have it at Rex but I couldn't for various reasons so I did wonder if it was there. Any way I wish you the very best. Welcome!

    A New Lease Through Sleeve!

    Congrats and welcome. Our stats are very similar too.
  3. I'm in Raliegh and am two weeks out now, no regrets. I went in for lap band thank goodness a gentleman in the waiting room told me about the sleeve. Good luck.

    Great job! You look beautiful (in both)!
  5. I gained ten pounds in the hospital and am now 13 days out and down 21 from there already. It's fluids.

    Back Home And Adjusting

    Congrats. Sorry you have a rough start. Hang in there it gets better. I couldn't get water down but could other liquids like ice tea so try different things. I need to do better with protein but I'm also never hungry. Heal quickly.

    That's great! I'm right behind you. I think I'd be there if I didn't gain ten in Fluid at the hospital. Congrats!

    Should I Be Worried?

    I have trouble with plain water too. I can do Powerade Zero and decaf iced tea but water is harder.

    Are other vst folks on here looking for support and to support others in this journey. I'm just starting out and am ten days out and living my dream. I'm finding it is difficult for non sleevers to understand and that's ok we got this. I'm swimmy18 if you are also looking for support. Wishing my fellow sleevers and those in waiting best wishes! Finally seeing real change and a bright future thanks to my sleeve.

    Loving My Sleeve

    I love my sleeve. I feel blessed to have this chance to be healthier. Down 16 since coming home last Thursday but I had tons of fluid. And I started right at 35 bmi couldn't be happier even with the pain

  14. So excited for you guys! Best wishes. Though I'm still in pain I could not be more thrilled with my decision. I feel in control and like real change is finally in my future. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

    How long are you all on clear liquids, then how long on full? I was told two days clear but it's a week out and I'm still doing it because I don't feel ready though I added protein shakes. Do for me one week out I'm doing broth, tea, isopure, water and protein shakes. I have zero real hunger and occasional head hunger but it's getting better. There are so many food ads!
