My husband commented a few day ago about my stellar breath and told him I'm trying to get to of it, but it keeps coming back! I'm only 7 days post op so still full liquid diet. Well tonight he kissed me and gave me that oh god face and I stated laughing and said "it's ketosis breath" and he said " oh honey who told you that? That's halitosis"! Lmao!!!!

So glad this was asked!! I have a white sweater tongue and stinky breath! Thanks ketosis!

Amazing husband, and nurse. While my husband is as supportive as he can be I'm lucky if he watches the kids while I nap lol

What are people's experience with HPHC? To me it's black and white.....I need to have surgery in a center of excellence, which I am.....and my BMI needs to be over 40, and it is. Praying for approval!

Ok I know gas pain is part of the post op process but how long does it last?? Even after every sip of liquid I release a painful burp. I'm also pretty gassy elsewhere and I haven't even had a bowel movement yet. I actually just started taking colace today because of the narcotics I'm taking. Also, how long for the swelling around the incisions to go down?? The biggest one hurts a lot and is really swollen..what's others experience with this? Another input would be great! Just got home from e hospital and I'm trying to adjust.

While I've composed myself the past few months I have this butterfly/going to puke/scared out of my mind feeling in my stomach. I wish it was 5am right now and I'm driving to the hospital...I'm actually working 3 to 11 tonight, hopefully it'll kill time.

Absolutely amazing, and brought me to tears! I'm just 3 days away from being sleeved and this video rids all the fear. Congratulations on your tremendous accomplishment!

That's awesome! When's surgery??

Where are you going?

You need a new surgeon!

My surgery is also the 22nd!! I can't wait!

Yes Brian, the 20th at 8am! I'm already tired of driving to Boston, costing a small fortune...

I was also in the 9am Brian, I sat right across from you lol

Wow 5 weeks already! My surgery is 6 weeks from today.......I can't wait!!! Hoping time flies. 33 lbs! That's awesome!

Thanks George! How are you doing? How's the weight loss?
