Nwfoxy, you've come to the rigt place--we are your support system. Please give us some details so we can help you. Date of surgery? Eating habits? Exercise? Progress after sleeve? Etc?

You need to call dr ASAP! And let us know the outcome.

You know what? I've been home from surgery for 6 days and I've refused to weigh myself---first because I am do bloated & 2nd because I don't want to see I've gained weigt. I'm waiting to weigh tomorrow at my dr office for first appt. i know it is exciting to see the numbers on the scale to move but please don't be a slave of the scale & daily weighing! You will lose pounds & inches! As far as your crying and being emotional, I think that's normal. Blessings to you & have a good recovery! Walk & sip!!!

You are adorable and not obese!!! I know about those numbers--- according to national averages & because of my height, I should weigh something like 109# --- but I would look like a skeleton!!!! You look wonderful & I can tell you've worked hard at it!

Lisa's, thanks for your feedback. For a second I thought my dr forgot to put one in!

Prayers & hugs for your Dad!

Welcome Prizzy. You will find the people here friendly, informative and caring. We're glad you joined us.

I was speaking with my sister who will be having the sleeve in July--she asked me about my drain & when it would be removed. I told her that I didn't have a drain at all. The dr didn't put one. Is that unusual? Dr did tell my daughter I had very little bleeding. I hope yours feels better. Have you called your dr office to tell them?

Jimmy's profile says he is in Brooklyn. Didn't get much information from his profile.

Mary, bless you for going through this ordeal. You are in my prayers and I'm also sending you warm hugs. Please keep us postedon you progress and dr appt.

Sleeve Buddies- for those of you who are Christian or believe in a higher power, please say a prayer or have Jimmy in your thoughts at exactly 9:00pm Central Time / 10:00pm Eastern / 7:00pm Pacific tonight. I believe we can help Jimmy through this together. Jimmy we care about you and wish you the very best!

Jaymzee- thinking about you on your first day of surgery!! I had pain & nausea too but wanted to walk because I knew that was the kry to healing. Hugs & prayers going your way. Pls keep us posted.

Hey Lolly, I was sleeved May 8th. So far so good. I know about trying to get all the liquids in. My doc told me right before I was wheeled into surgery to not worry about protein this week. So far I eat soup broths, sf jello, water, crystal light --- you know the drill. I'm walking more and more each day, probably up to a couple of miles a day. I don't want to weigh myself just yet; I'm waiting til my doc appt this Wednesday. I've been able to get out of the house each day to run errands or pick up deli soups. I strain the soups, but the different broths are delicious. I'm going to make a tortilla soup tomorrow (of course strained). Starting Thursday I will introduce protein drinks. Do you feel the liquids going down your throat? Wishing your wonderful recovery. Hugs& prayers going your way. Bridgett

I'm wondering if his phone ran out of juice and he doesn't have a charger in the hospital with him. Jimmy, even though we can't reach you---we're praying & pulling for you.

Pls call your doc and report back to us what he / she said about it. Hugs and good thoughts to you today!

There are a lot of us sleevers in Houston.
