yes, I had my little boy with me. I think we did get to meet at the beginning of the meeting! Glad you could join us.

I was sleeved by Dr Nick in Feb. I go to a support group that meets in the Plano area 1 saturday a month. If your interested please message me and I can give you that information.

Hey there any other sleevers in n. Dallas?

i think every persons different. I had 1 of mine last a little over 3 weeks. i still have spots from the glue on my stomach! Good luck they will come off.

I was starting to get discouraged myself. It has been a week since i started eating "foods" and i havent lost anything but swelling. Im glad to know that this is normal. We can all get through this together!!

I hated pickles I'm 3 w 4d post op and I crave pickles it didn't start until right at the 3 week mark. My mom asked me if I was pregnant I told her no I just want pickles

I've had that happen too. Dont get discouraged you won't lose every day. You will slowly learn all the pains. When I got pain in my sternum area it meant I was full.

I did a couple times after surgery when I wasnt getting enough protein. I drank a couple sips of a protein shake and it made it go away.

Oh my you are an inspiration. I'm on day 8 and I just got out for the first time today. I haven't had any nausea but I'm so tired of liquids. Wednesday's dr appt cannot come fast enuf

I was sleeved on the 20th. I feel thirsty all day long. Its not just you

Oh yeah I consistently feel like I have a dry throat. So it makes me feel like I want to drink more.

I am glad im not theb only one feeling like I wanna eat food. I was sleeved on 2/20 I am getting in 4-6oz of protein shakes a day and gaining more each day. Still no bm going to try stool softner tomorrow. I have no pain no nausea. I feel like I could chug a bottle of water. Wish I could see my stomach healing so I knew where things were

I didn't have a hernia that I know of. I am on day four post op my left side is still very sore I drink every 15 minutes like im supposed to but im ALWAYS thirsty. I am not having any issues keeping things down but I still get very short breathed when even just goinv pee. I have to sit there before I stand back up be cause I know how strenuous it is going to be to do so. I hope things get better for you. Please do not rush yourself back to work.

LOL I can only imagine! It hurt just to push out a lil toot. I never realized how many things are done with abdominal muscles until they are out of commission.

Well today is day 4 post-op. I feel a little better than days prior. I was able to sleep in my bed with only getting up once or twice to go potty. Still haven't had a bm wondering how long that will take. My left side is where all my soreness is. Can't wait for it to get better.

Wish I could come but I can't move yet

I was sleeved on 2/20 as well sand I feel the same way. Gas in my chest and no desire to eat. I did make a Protein shake that I am trying to get down today

I had one. I have a pain one that I wil have to take out soon

Im feeling pretty good just very sore and tired
