Had my surgery a few days before Thanksgiving/Black Friday last year and I was able to stay up all night wandering around stores for 6hrs. Lol

I have lost 133lbs since I first posted this thread!! Woohoo!

Hello! I don't remember when I last checked in but I will now! My HW was 400 SW was 380 and my current weight is 267lbs! Total weightloss of 133lbs since 11/20/13!

I have lost 117lbs since 11/20/14!! [ATTACH]43890[/ATTACH]

Sleeved 11/20 down 120lbs!!! <3

When I was able to finally go on rides with my niece at the carnival.. 120lbs down in 5 months!

Quick check in! I was sleeved November 20th and I am down almost 90lbs! LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!!!!

Not really an after pic but a progress one! I had my surgery on 11/20/13 and have lost 80lbs! I started at 397 and am now down to 317. [ATTACH]41079[/ATTACH]

I have been taking tums... they seem to work great! I am 2.5 mos post op and get acid reflux abiut 3-4 times a week.

The rules I have been most apt to stick to would be the 30 20 30 rule and the small portions rule. I cannot eat and drink within 30 minutes of eachother and I cannot have more than 3-4 bited per meal without having to throw it back up. I am almost 3 months post op.

I had my surgery on 11/20/13 I am an 18 yo guy starting weight 387 CW is 326 and I have been getting sharp stomach pains (not hunger) and random pains under the left side of my ribcage (where my liver is I believe) and just an all around tightness randomly throughout the day. I don't regret this surgery, I am very happy with the results so far, I just want to know if anyone else is dealing with this kind of stuff and how long it took to feel less pain.

Oops, I meant the pain is on the right side.

Hey! Just keep reminding yourself these 2 or so weeks of being in pain and being uncomfortable will give you a lifetime of happiness!!! I am 8 weeks out and able to enjoy chicken, veggies, rice and much more! I am still having random pains but it is SO much better!!!

Congrats! You are gonna love losing! I was sleeved 11/20/13! Down almost 70lbs!!!

I am 6 weeks out and down 68lbs!!! Still getting tiny random stomach pains and numbness but other than that all is well!

I had my surgery 11/20/13 and have already lost over 30lbs... I am starting to notice my belly hang a bit and get little dimples... what can I do to tighten my skin in that are that isn't too strenuous since I am barely starting to not feel any pain? I'm 18 by the way so I was told my skin would be more elastic and bounce back... haha

Im 22 days out and I can take normal drinks like every 30 seconds when I'm really thirsty. I hate not being able to chug water but honestly, being thin is much better than chugging. Haha

Almost 30lbs since the surgery. (:

Awesome! I am an 18yo guy that started at 381 and now Im down to 346 2 1/2 weeks after surgery. I hope to look as good as you!! Do you have any skin issues??? I would really like to talk and know what you have been doing. Thanks!! -Adam

I would recommend you bring baby wipes, chapstick, your phone and charger, and maybe something to read.. You won't be drinking and shakes while in the hospital. They gave me ice chips whenever I wanted & my few meals a day (if I could handle them) those were pudding/gravy/cream of wheat cups. Try to walk as much as you can in the hospital! Also, if you feel nauseous it might be the morphine. Thats what was making me vomit.. BEST OF LUCK!!!!

Now 11 days post op and I feel amazing! If anyone on this thread hasn't gotten their sleeve yet or are on the fence about it... DO IT! I am so happy with the results so far!
