It has taken me about 15 to 20 pounds to go down each size. I was a 22 now I am a lose 16 I can get 14s on but they are snug. My starting weight was 234 and as of last Friday I was 178.

It can take up to week to 10 days to really start feeling the effects. You are still full of all the fluids they pumped you up with in the hospital. I promise give it another week and you will be in aw. Best wishes to you in this journey:-)

I would personally call your surgeon. It is always better to be safe then sorry. Could be nothing could be something huge. When in doubt call the dr. Hope it goes away soon.

How long has this been going on and is the any soreness around the Breast?

I had the worst runs from day 5 until day 12 had to get hydrated twice in the Er. It is very normal just make sure you are sipping. dehydration is no fun.

I lost 22 my first month. Then it tapered off I lose about 3 poundsish a week sometimes 2 sometimes 4. Does that help :-)

I know there two different shots but I was so excited . My hair is a mess it was so windy out. my 10 year old said mom you look good i should take a pic:-) he is so awesome. I finally got into a size 14 today :-) its been 8 years. I can not contains excitement.

Starting weight 234 Pre op weight 215 8/1/12 Today's weight 178 For me I have 5 more pounds to reach my first goal which is 173 I haven't weighed that little since I first got married 12 years ago. My ultimate goal is 115-120

The best advice I can give you is call your surgeon. Every surgeon is different. I had my surgery August 1st and was able to go into a hot tub August 21st. But I called and got the ok before I did so:-)

I have a few friends who have had the sleeve done. They have both slowed Dow. On there weight loss about half way through and are complaining about it. And they also hate that they can still can eat anything and there is really nothing to keep the accountable. I am 9 weeks post op and have had an amazing experience thus this far..... It's a big choice go with what your heart tells you. Good luck!

You should call your doctor for sure. Lower legs hoping numb or getting that electric shock is not normal and it can be something mayor or very miner but better not to mess around with it. I have a slipped disk and they wanted to do surgery. Fortunately losing the weight is helping and dr says we will play it by ear and see how I am after the weight loss. So pls call ur dr.

Ask them if the go to they gym or if they run or exercise ect... This surgery is a tool we choose to utilize just like others use there tools to utilize for there bodies. And honestly what ever makes you happy is what matters most. I would just walk away

I have a 19, 10, 8, 6,& 4 year old. I was very honest with them and try to include them in everything. I told them that the surgery would help to lose weight so that I can be healthy and be around for a long time ( hopefully ) And I would be able to do more activities. They are my biggest support and encourages well and my hubby to. They always want to look at my scars. My 4 year old daughter said. Oh my mommy your scars are getting all better:-) then she said is that what's making you get smaller. Oh how I love my children. So my advice to you is be open and honest with them. I share in the journey with them.

I hate that I still don't quiet get in all my fluids... But it seems like I am thirstiest when I am eating. Anybody else feel like that? It sucks when I have to weight half hour to hour to drink:-(

I have weighed my self almost everyday since I started the entire process back in January. I have always felt that if I get on the scale it helps keep me accountable. What I have now realized is that I have become a slave to the scale. My only motivation was seeing those numbers go down. I finally had a nervous break down over it this week. I have decicided to no longer runt my life around the scale.... There is so much more to health then numbers on a scale. I have to determine in my mind that know matter what the numbers say I want to optimism maximum health. So for the first time in a very long time I will only be weighing my self once a week. That way I can focus on me as a whole and not just a number. I also fill that I will have more peace of mind.

I am 8 weeks out and as of Tuesday I was 32 pounds down. I do think to myself some days why is it not coming off faster :-( but then I think about all the loose skin I don't want sagging all over my body and am grateful that it is coming off steadily. I know eventually I will get there. remember surgery isn't a magic it's a tool to help train is for our future. So rejoice in the 35 pounds cause you are doing a fantastic job.....

Been praying for you all week. It will get better slowly but surly.... Sip sip sip that's all I can tell yu. Get better soon.

I am 8 weeks post op and I get it all the time. I tell myself " don't pass out don't pass out do t pass out" my head spins and I get light headed then the room kinda goes dark. It's kinda scary. When I go see the Dr I will mention it to her. Wish I knew for sure what its from.

Your so funny. Hey I am down another poun today. Making me hit my big 50 all together :-) feels amazing.

That was suppose to say mirrical worker lol

You won't have to give everything up. This surgery is a tool not a morocal worker but it teaches you how to retrain yourself to moderation instead of indolence. And it really is worth it in the long run. I hope the best for you.

That is how I feel about 173 I weigh 186 right now. I will feel like I'm on cloud nine at 173 last time I weighed that little was 8 years ago and that is the least I have weighed in 12 years. Congrats on hitting that number :-)
