Hi Everyone!!!!! Two months down my Agust friends. I'm own about the same as everyone else. about lbs. lots of energy & compliments. Still miss my food but that's okay, WELL worth it! Hugs to all xxx Jeanie

You look great! Rest yourself now. Welcome to the other side

Thanks Tap! can't wait to try this

First congratulations!!! I had the same extreme gas pain you did. Some ppl just don't get it and some do I guess. By day 5 I felt great. Each day gets way better . Good thing with the surprise surgery is you didn't have to wait and worry. Congratulations again !

You deserve better then that. Sounds like she wasn't a true friend to begin with. Cut your losses hon and move on to some real friends.

That's great news! I am 51 and was sleeved 8/8 !!! My goal is to be healthier too and be off meds.

I'm so excited for you ! Your feelings are perfectly normal. Tomorrow you will be a sleeve sister! Congratulations!

You're welcome. Call the Dr if you have any concerns, take care

Congratulations sleeve sister ! Remember to move around to get that gas out and baby your pouch !

I read after 2 weeks, chances go down. I have pain in the same area and can't sleep on my left side. my surgery was 8/8. here is a thread link for you to read. Hope you feel better soon http://www.verticals...gns-of-leakage/

Good luck to all the 8/28 sleevers , and prayers for all

I know what you mean nat, 15 days out I tried to eat a piece of moist chicken with bbq sauce. Big mistake too. stood in the bathroom for 15 min with nausea. Luckily it stayed down but I learned my lesson ! LOL Mushy food for us!

It will Amybeth ,don't worry. Prayers for you Dear. You will be so happy you made the decision to do something that will make your life happy & healthier

Hello fellow August sleevers !!!! My surgery was 8/8 and I am really progressing nicely. It takes some trial & error to find what works. I felt weak by day 5 and felt much better when Dr said it was okay to drink protein shakes. Stay healthy everyone ! August sleevers ROCK !

Congratulations!

Tomorrow is my big day but still have a small bit of doubt ! My BMI is kind of low (36), but it has been that way for 20+ years despite all my dieting efforts. My husband & I are fine with my size & looks, but it's by far not about that ! I am 51, have severe sleep apnea, recently diagnosed with T2 Diabetes and have been on high BP meds for a few years. I know in my heart this is the right thing but I'm afraid of being judged or judging myself for not trying harder at the gym. After working 40+ hours a week, I'll admit , the gym wasn't a happy place for me. I appreciate any thoughts. last minute jitters I guess

Congratulations Mich You're on your way to a new & healthier life !

Nervousness is okay , just calm your mind knowing how well your health will be afterwards. I say it depends on your job. Office or (light duty) I would say give yourself 5-7 days. Any lifting or movement of the body while working I would wait 2 weeks or more. Hope that helps.

You're so lucky miss_cee. I would not worry at all ! I only take mine at night. I had loads of gas pain after surgery. It is almost gone now (5 days later). Glad you are doing so well. I graduated to puree foods today

Depends on your BMI. If you are on the lower end of the BMI scale, say 36 or so, your pre-op diet will be shorter than most. Hope that helps.

My prayers are with you Cee! hugs xxxx

Hang in there Nat, you'll be able to eat soon ! You got this!

Congratulations Marisa ! How are you doing?

Woohoo! Happy for you Isu2868. Not long now

Congratulations, no need to be a lurker we are all friends here. I was prescribed pain meds & anti-nausea meds before surgery.
