September 26 was my 1 yr surgiversary!!! I can't believe how quickly the time has passed and what an amazing journey this is.. I went from 250 being my heaviest to 235 day of surgery to 147 as of today.. I have lost a total 103lbs and I'm not looking for them ever again.. Getting my sleeve was the best thing I could have ever done.. I ???? it and my only regret is not getting sooner... ???? Janie (sent from my iPhone using VST)

I feel GREAT!!! I honestly feel like a different person... Before my sleeve I had been depressed for many years.. Nothing made me happy but that was only because I wasn't happy with myself.. Now I wake up every morning excited and grateful for another beautiful day of life.. ???? Janie (sent from my iPhone using VST)

Good luck.. Yeah I was self pay also... Save a ton $$$... just make sure you research your Dr. Well.. Janie (sent from my iPhone using VST)

Hi I was sleeved on 9-26-12 all was fine until about 10 days post op.. Suffered from dehydration... While in hospital was told I have gastritis and gerd... Anyone had any complications? How do you deal with so much acid? Janie (sent from my iPhone using VST)

What about diarrhea? Anyone have issues? Seems like food goes right through me and that's bc I'm on liquids.. Janie (sent from my iPhone using VST)

I'm currently in hospital bc of that I'm suffering from dehydration.. Anything I eat or drink goes right through me.. I'm only 14 days post op.. So I'm still on liquid diet.. Any advice how to stop it? Janie (sent from my iPhone using VST)

Update on my story.. I was doing really well up until friday night.. Started feeling very weak.. Started with diarrhea Saturday continued until Sunday which by then I ended up in hospital... I was dehydrated, potassium and magnesium levels low, low BP, a lot of acid, burning sensation and pain... Been in hospital since then... Drs were concerned bc i lost 30lbs in 10 days.. is this normal? Going home today and need advice.. How does everyone keep hydrated. My surgery was in Mexico so I was wondering What vitamins are suppose to be taken? Feeling a bit discouraged but not giving up.. Any advice? Thank u in advance Janie (sent from my iPhone using VST)
