Looking to see if there is anyone out there from Wisconsin??

I was just wondering if there were any single men in their 20's to mid 30's who were looking to connect with someone. I would love to meet someone who has been through this journey as well.

Since this past Sunday I have not been able to eat anything but a small amount of broth the other day and a few crackers on Sunday night. I went to the urgent care yesterday, they did some tests and everything came out okay but they gave me iv fluid to see if it was dehydration. The fluid seemed to not help at all. I was prescribed zofran for nausea but can only take it every 8 hours and it definitely does not last 8 hours. Even with it on board I can only eat a cracker and my stomach feels like someone is twisting it. I have been trying to keep up on fluids as best I can but it's tough with the nausea. I had surgery on 8-18-14. Anyone with similar problems or advice? I am feeling really discouraged at the moment.

Thank you! I did speak to my surgeon yesterday and they told me to call back if things weren't any better, I called them today and so they have me compazine to take in addition to the zofran. It helped a little and I was able to eat a piece of bread this afternoon. The weird thing is I was feeling great up until Sunday so I don't know if it's a virus or what but I guess time will tell. Hope it isn't a stricture but if it is glad it can easily be fixed. Thank you again! I know you had a really tough two years with the sleeve.

I hope it does thank you for your support!!!

I am only a month out and recently flew to Seattle. Before surgery I should have used a seat belt extender but I was too stubborn to so I pulled and pushed the seat belt and sucked in what I could to finally get the thing buckled. This past flight was so much better, I didn't have to struggle at all to get it to buckle and the belt didn't feel like it was cutting into my skin. It was great!

Hey guys! I am 1 month post-op today!!! Can't believe its gone so fast! I am back to work and things are going well, slowly getting better. Still have an incision that is healing but not needing to be packed with gauze anymore so yay! My biggest hurtle this week is hunger. I thought the hunger was suppose to go away, I am scared that something is wrong. I went to support group last night and no one seemed to know what I was experiencing

Try taking your records to another physician, a lady in my support group had to change hospitals/surgeons last minute and her insurance as well as our doc honored all the work she had done with the previous physician and she was able to have surgery within a few weeks of changing docs. Worth a try

Thank you Ginger Snaps! I appreciate your support I am excited for my future!

Congrats! You look great!

There is an article from the national institute of health that researched pcos and the different weight loss options. It stated that roux en y is the best procedure for the treatment of pcos and should be considered one of the first line treatments. They suspect that it has to do with the bypassing of the first part of bowel. The second surgery to prove results was the lap band and then they shared that the sleeve did not do much to help pcos. I chose the roux en y because of the research, metformin was NOT doing a darn thing to help my insulin resistance and I want kids in the future so I felt this was my best option. I can't wait for my next round of labs from my endocrinologist to see the results I surgery!! Good luck to you all!

Thank you for your support! He used glue on all the rest of my incisions but he couldn't glue the largest incision so he stitched the muscle and now it's been healing from the inside out. It will get there I just have to remember its a process.

I have been having a rough past few days with lots of nausea and abdominal pain so I hope that starts to improve. I am also kind of upset because I thought that my open abdominal wound would have been healed by now but I still have to pack it with gauze daily :/ . I am so sorry roostertail that this has been so rough for you and I pray that things get better for you as time goes on (hopefully sooner than later) if you need to vent or chat please feel free to message me! We are all in this together!

Hey guys! I am just wondering if any of you are feeling hungry at all? I am two weeks out of surgery and on the purée diet but have the sensation of being hungry. Not sure if any of you have had this too? I hope it gets better!

Ok my surgery went well woke up from recovery with severe chest pain doctor told me it was the gas. Stayed in hosptial 2 days and finally at home. Drinking liquids walking alot but still have gas pain.Hope it goes away soon. Congrats on surgery! I just had my 1week post op appts today. Everything has been getting better each day! Hang in there, the hardest part is over!

Congrats on the surgery! My butt wasn't numb but I do have an area on my lower abdomen that is still numb from surgery on the 18th lol

Anyone know how long it takes for liquid to empty the pouch??

51,000 all together 26,000 for surgery and 25,000 for the hospital stay, got the explanation of benefits this morning still waiting on the cost from anesthesia

I love tattoos and have been thinking of getting one once I have lost the weight

I really like Terra's whey protein shakes in the chocolate flavor
