I just got my first "you're losing too much weight" comment today. I ran into someone I haven't seen since I was sleeved, she told me how good I looked and told me not to lose anymore weight. I told her I still need to lose at least another 40. She said no just stop now! you're going to look sick! Now I'm 198 @ 5'3 so far from being a healthy weight... which is what I'm aiming for!

I was told that as long as I was comfortable and off of pain meds for 24 hours I could drive. I drove 4 days after surgery to the store.

When I told people at work that I was having WLS I got "WHY" "YOU'RE NOT THAT BIG" So I would ask so should I wait to get "THAT BIG"? They had nothing to say!

Good job you look great!!

It's funny cause when I see other in shape healthy "skinny" people I don't think they look sick.

Congrats on your weight loss!!! I have a size 8 jean shorts form yearsssss ago lol I have saved them all these years and would love to put them on again. I don't think I would wear them but to put them on would be awesome!

I'm not worried to much about the number I just want to be healthy!

I wasn't bothered by it, I just don't feel "small" or "skinny".

Weird that one of the husbands said something, I would have giving my husband the death stare... It's so funny how people feel the need to comment on something so personal.

Thank You!

When are you starting? I'm in!

You would need a anti viral med... I also get them but they never last more then a couple of days so I think you should be fine, but you should always call the Dr. to be sure.

WOW you look GREAT!! I have had this DVD and I'm going to start tomorrow!!! thanks to you!

Hello, I was sleeved April 23rd!! SW 248 CW 198 Bread plain Water and beef don't agree with me so I stick with chicken breast and ground turkey and fish. I work out 5 to 6 days a week.

I was just about to say the same... I have lost 50 pounds today, my mother in law comes into town... NOT A WORD! I'm like wow!

Mine started the day after surgery... I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy! Between blood thinners and everything else going on... um yeah it was bad!

Hi I was sleeved April 23rd I'm down 41 pounds since surgery I feel GREAT! I work out 5 to 6 days a week, I run walk swim and lift weights. I eat around 600 to 800 cals. a day depending on my workout.

Hi... I was able to pick Dr. Mann When I made my Appt. she asked me did I have a Dr. I preferred, I picked him because at my orientation they said he did the most sleeves. He is a very good Dr. I am having great weight loss and no problems but with that said I haven't heard anything bad about the other surgeons. You can ask if you can switch not sure how that works or you speak with the Dr. about your concerns and see if that would help. If you have any other questions feel free to ask I'm willing to help!

Hey... I just got sleeved April 23rd, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth... Dr. Mann was my surgeon. I live in Norfolk.

The first thing I'm going to do for myself is take pictures and send them to everyone!!!

I had a workout sweat band I got from wal mart it has zippers for different sizes.. I just used that it was like 9 bucks.

I had my surgery on the 23rd. Everything went well I pretty much had no pain. I was giving anti nausea meds before surgery so I haven't had to deal with that. Today is my second day home and the only pain I have is from the gas. I been walking and resting. I have been trying to get in all my fluids, it's not that it's hard I just don't want it. I haven't tried jello yet but I have some ginger tea and it's the best. Oh and I do have a band I've been wearing and it helps a lot keeps everything tight.
