  1. I was sleeved 4/23. I had a hiatal hernia and my gallbladder removed. I took 3 weeks off, but could have easily returned to work by week two. In no rush, rest and adapting to my new diet is critical to me at this point. Good luck on your journey!

    Hair :(

    How long does the hair loss phase last, I'm sure it's different for everyone. Would love to hear your stories. It does grow back, right?! I love my hair
  4. I had my first follow up appointment today (sleeved 4/23) my surgeon cleared me for wine in one month, I'm excited!
  5. I never had a drainage tube, if I did, they removed it while I was still out. Are you sure you're going to have one?
  6. Ditto! This letter was incredibly inspirational! Bravo!!!

    Sleeved April 23rd

    I was sleeved 4/23 as well. No major complications. I also found out my surgeon had to correct a hiatal hernia and remove my gallbladder. I return to work next Thursday. I am finding it difficult to get my protein in, water too. Down 15 lbs since the day of surgery, first follow up appointment is tomorrow. 12 lbs to go and I'll be in one-derland!

    Sashimi--what stage?

    When can we have sushi?!
  13. I was sleeved on 4/23, I'm a few days shy of the puréed stage. I decided to have a few bites of shrimp, I chewed small bites until it felt puréed. 5 minutes later, I threw it all up. 1. I'll take this as a lesson (hope you're not too hard on me) 2. Now I'm worried, did I cause any damage by throwing up? Help

    Wow no puréed phase? How was your experience? What else did you find that you were able to easily tolerate?

    Don't tell them I actually never cared for soda - just not a fan of belittlement/people who are holier than thou...
  17. I may be the only one out there that actually hopes my girls get a lot smaller lol Victoria will always help us with her secrets...
  18. I was sleeved on 4/23. I still have stitches in, the surrounding area is red and starting to itch. Is this apart of the normal healing process or is this the early signs of an infection? I see my doctor on the 9th. As always, I appreciate your input! - Nic
