Wow I hope I look that good in 7 months

I'm lucky I told every one before I got that I was having the surgery and everyone has been supportive. And everyone just have questions, I get all the time are you still not hungry. I've gotten a lot of complements everyone seems amazed how quick the weight is coming off. One of my co-workers keep staring at me last week and said OMG your head has even got smaller. Sorry that your co-works are such a holes, but all that matters that your happy with yourself.

Hi Kelley I had the same thing after surgery the more I tired to do the more I was short of breath. For me I think I was dehydrated and doing to much to soon. You might just need to slow down

Jersey City,NJ

The 29th yesterday made a month since the surgery and I'm down 40 pounds and with the 2 week diet before the surgery I'm down 55 pounds. I can't stop look at my self I can fit in a 2X and six weeks ago I was wearing a 4X.

Sleeved on May 29th Lost 15 pounds on the per-op diet 374 to 359 And now I'm 324 down 35 more since being sleeved

I must be an urban legend I don't even have head hunger but I'm only 18 days pos op and hoping it stays that way. Wired thing is that food smells so good now I can smell bacon a mile away. Only thing is I don't want any it's so freaky.

You have to be stupid not to know that any surgery comes with risk, but I have a problem when hospital are pushing this surgery just to recoup cost. An the reason for getting the machine in the first place is not because they think it will benefit patients. But to compete with other hospital and it scary that the maker of this machine is doing all of the pushing, not the medical community. You might want to do a little more research your self no one is saying the machine is bad. But there are issues that need to be looked into.

Brain Williams did a story about Robotic surgery last night on rock center. I would advise you watch it before doing a robotic surgery. Not trying to scare you but I don't think they tell people all the risk that can come from this.

Wow I don't know how anyone can get food down during the first week, I could barely get Water down and Protein shakes were out of the question. But I did have farina 2 days before I was suppose to not because I wanted food. I felt so weak I thought my body needed something more then water. I felt so much better after. I've tried to eat some of the things I'm allowed to and still can't get most things down.

It started yesterday and its a constant pain in-between my left arm and my chest, should I call?

Thanks for your prayers everyone, the cat scan came back ok and the pain has finally stopped. So they are going to let me go home and I need to follow up with my general doctor.

The blood work back and something was high suggesting it might be a blood clot so they are going to do a cat scan to make sure it's not

So I called the surgeon and they told me to go the ER :-( guess its better to be safe then sorry. Hope it's nothing and they don't have to keep me.

The pain had finally stop but I'm going to call the surgeon as soon as they open.

no the pain is just in one spot in-between the are and chest

Ok I was sleeved on may 29th and went back to work part-time on the 3rd. Most of my pain has gone away I didn't even take any pain meds today. But I'm still feel so weak I just walked to the store 3 blocks from my house and I'm dripping sweat. An I had to stop at DD to sit and get a small coffee before I walk back home. Is this normal or I'm I just over doing it?

Depression can occur after any major surgery and this is a major surgery, so don't beat your self down it happens.

Thanks, I guess I need to slow down but I hear people walking their dogs and I'm like we're are they getting all this energy from.

Hey got sleeved on the 29th of May, I'm from Jersey City.

OMG. I thought it was just me I'm 9 days post op and the minute I came home that's all I've been watching and the freaky thing is I'm not even hungry. Still I'm my liquid diet and you think that watching these cooking shows would make me hungry. The brain is a very strange thing.

I'm 9 days post op and I've lost 18 pounds and I lost another 13 pounds on the two week pre op diet.

Hi everyone I slept on my stomach last night for the first time, Is this ok? I don't feel so sore this morning but I did notice a little Fluid coming from one of my incisions but it has stopped. Should I call my surgeon?

I going to getting some Water now I'm at number 8
