Just had consultation ,very excited ! I am getting my sleeve in Penn Medicine!

I ain't going to lie it is scary as hell but it's the best decision I made in my life. I would not have done it any differently . Iam only 2 months out and still get freaked out about something's but I feel great and according to everyone I look healthier . You will luv your decision once you start seeing and feeling results. Good luck to you.

You look great! I am down 70lb at 2 months post ops but I haven't been . . I was walking 2.5 miles every other day, now my back has been killing me and I am struggling do anything. Just when I thought things were going good. Congrats to everyone!

Iam also 6 weeks out and I deff am not having these issues. Iam not trying to be a smart ass but you really need to sit down with your Nut and figure out a game plan.i don't know what kind of Vitamins you are getting but every ing I got taste like candy I can't believe that they vitamins iam eating. They want me to get 100grams of protien I average 60 and 70 grams from food. I eat 6 to 7 time a day I constantly feel like iam eating Breakfast 1 1/2 eggs 10 grams Poly o lol cal string cheeses 9 gram lunch varies between avg 15 Grms Snack Hard boiled egg. 7 gr dinner ave. 15 gr If iam really rehung I will drink a shake 30 It just a example I don't if this will help you. I do have a issue with Water iam about 50 ounces they want me to take in a 100oz iam failing at that

How are the march sleevers doin ? Iam 5 weeks out and down 55 lbs and couldn't be happier.

Headache is normal but I didn't have the puffy face. I am only 5 weeks out everybody is different , if you are comfortable with something call your doc that what there for.Don't consume your self with the scale it will drive you nuts. I was on it twice a day for 5 days until I told myself once week. Good luck on your journey this is on of the best decisions I ever made , my only regret is I should of done it 5 years ago. Down 55 lbs as of today

I have always been a 30 second eater, iam struggling with it now,iam only 5 weeks out and I catch myself eating fast but not as fast as I used to eat,the weird thing it doesn't bother me . Someone else said it on here iam starting not to get the satisfaction out of my meal if I eat to fast.SLOW DOWN

Amber , the burping should die down,I kind of had the same thing .everyone is different hopefully you will burp free! Good luck, iam 4.5 weeks post op iam on my last week of soft food heading into the real food world. I just want a fresh vegetables ...

I was 370 4 weeks ago now iam down to 320. This best decision I ever made iam on soft foods and I am enjoying life so much better I can't imagine what I will feel like when I reach my goal of 210. Good luck just please do it for yourself and please research the Dr's in your area hopefully on lives near you .good luck

Awsome

2 pounds a week is what my doc said I should be loosing. There is alot of factors what is your BMI? Lower BMI tends to loose slower . Are you drinking entry of water ? Don't give up you came this far stick with it ..

I was sleeved on the 20 th and iam down 50 lbs as of yesterday.. Iam feeling great I still have severe back pain and the nerve pain in my leg seemed to get worse. I am not having any issues with putting my shoes on my left knee and ankles are not sore nor swallen. I will be on reg foods next week I am actually enjoying eating

I had a BMI OF 50% and iam exactly 1 month out and dropped 48 lbs as of today. I went to seminar and it looked to me that the bypass wasn't what I want the sleeve was more straight forward but you can fail at any of the weight loss surgeries if you don't follow the programs. To me the sleeve was a god sent . The best advise I can give is to research your doctor. I personally went to a doctor that the hospital built a gastric surgery program around him. I looked the to WLS CENTERS in my area and was not impressed. I from New Jersey and went to Penn Medicine in PA. They have a geat system and I couldn't be happier with my choice of doctor,Nut and entire staff.

Iam 4 weeks out and down 46 lbs and feeling great walking 2.5miles 3 times a week start weight training next week.

My surgery was 36k they want 2100 for my deducible , I negotiated that down to $1150 You can negotiate you deductible in most cases so don't expect what they are telling you owe.

Jersey!!

How about a Malibu bay breeze or a Malibu sea breeze no carbonation, made with fruit juices.

Iam feeling great I was sleeved on 3/20, I am actually finishing projects around the house that have been lingering for years. The only thing that is killing is around 2 pm I start crashing hard. I am lucky enough to leave work and come home and take a nap. I am hoping this is happening because Iam not taking any carbs in. I am following my diet to the T. Iam on soft foods by may 1st reg foods. I really hope this changes soon.

I guess I was lucky my insurance paid for mine , I just got my co pay bill which I was able to negotiate down. I had my surgery thru Penn Medicne which is a great hospital and they handled everything for me. i feel like Lucky after reading this thread. Good luck to all

I love crab meat in general , I am a month punt and I had a 1/2 of a dungeons crab for lunch yesterday . It's was great!!

Good luck it's a life changer I was sleeved on the 20th of march and I am very happy with my choice so far. The swelling went in my angles my me stopped hurting along with my ankles and hell it's only 40 lbs still got 80 to go. Way to take charge of your life. Good luck

I have a question . I know rice real value but I do like the taste of it once in a while.Obviously I wouldn't to be able to eat a lot but the question is will it hurt you. Has anyone tried it? What were the results? For the record I have no desire for it at this point in my journey .

Are the real eggs or egg whites? Give it time everyone is different.
