Same here, I am trying so hard. I know that will help.

Hello, I had the sleeve in September 2014, I lost 100 pounds, I am now 30 pound regained and really not too happy about it. I will be 60 this year and I want to go back to my after surgery weight. I will be getting knee surgery by the end of this year or into next year and I want to be down some pounds before then. I have been going to the gym since January but had to stop for a minute due to my knee issue. I will however will be doing water exercises. I pulled out my books and re read about pre and post surgery. I am now ready to do pantry sweep and start a new. I find that I have no restrictions, nothing makes me sick and I can eat anything. I am ready to stop and begin again. I know I can do it and I will be back in this forum reading for support. Good luck to everyone. Thanks for reading and I will welcome any advise.

I am 5 months post op (9/23/14), I can eat popcorn and have no problem, I have been eating Skinny Pop popcorn as a treat. I hope it is not becoming a slider for me.

I'm in also! SW - 281 CW - 258 Thanksgiving GW - 238 ?

Hello, I have a desk job. I originally was going to take 2 weeks, but I felt I needed more, just to get use to my eating and/or drinking pattern, plus just to heal, so I am able to take a month and a week off from work. I am sure I will be good and ready to return then. I am 3 weeks post op and feeling better everyday, but I have had some icky feeling days, also and it is good to not worry about being at work. It is a healing that has to take place, and time will heal, although it won't pay the bills, but you will feel better. Good luck to you all.

hello, i am 3 almost 4 days post-0p for the Gastric Sleeve.. I am currently holding on the this shoulder pain, it hurst sooo bad that i cry every time it hits me..how much longer do i have to wait for nature to take over?

At this moment, shoulder gas pains a messing with me big time. Any words for me? Post-op 3 days out!

Sleeved on 9/23, I am on the bench also!

It's going to be alright, you have come this far, just finish the journey. Keep us informed.

You sound like you are telling my story. I do feel a lot better this morning. I am trying to get most of my meds in. I still have stomach pains but it is better today than yesterday. I am drinking my first protein drink, not too bad, just drinking 2oz at a time out if 11oz total per container. I hope you and all the others sleevers this week get to feeling good soon and find you are getting slim and healthy. Oh yeah and my pouch is growling up a storm!

I was sleeved as well on Tuesday. I had a lot abdominal pain. Got better each day.

Congrats to you and continue with your success. I too had surgery yesterday 9/23/14. I haven't walked yet but that is the plan this morning. The pain was really bad for me at first but when I gained control of the meds, it has gotten better. So save my place on the losers bench please, cause here I come!

Today is my day also, tossed and turned a good part of the night, now it is 4 ish in the am and I am reading and texting. A little nervous, but really ready to get this show on the road. Good luck to everyone and I look forward to responding to the post-op pages. HAPPY SLEEVE DAY!

Hi, my surgery is Tuesday, 9/23/14. I am sooooo ready to go. Good luck to all surgeries in September, WE CAN DO THIS!

Hi, I just turned 55 on 8/25/14. I am scheduled for the sleeve surgery on 9/23/14. One of the reasons for my surgery is to lose weight to help alleviate pain due to osteoarthritis in my hip joints. Can you shed any light on the feelings of a person in their 50s and the surgery? I know everyone is different, but is there some things you feel I should be aware of? Thank you in advance.

Yeah 9/23/14 here also!

my surgery is September 23rd, the count down calendar has been made! good luck to all before me!

It took Aetna about 8 days, I am approved for 9/23!

Hello, I just received my approval phone call and email! September 23, 2014, yaaay me! And now we wait. I don't have to do the pre-op diet, but I still have 2 more apts to go to. I am feeling really nervous and yet overly excited. So I am officially a SEPTEMBER SLEEVER.

I have Aetna also. Paperwork was turned in last week? how long does it take for a decision to be made?

Hello, I am Patricia. My surgery is tentatively scheduled for September 23rd. I am praying it gets moved up to earlier in September. I don't have to do the pre-op diet. I am ready to get it done mentally, a little nervous and anxious at the same time. Good luck to you all!

Hello August sleevers, well i received my date today (tentatively) i am scheduled for September 23, 2014. So i guess i am not in the August club. It was nice reading and learning from you all. I hope everything goes well with the already sleeved people and the upcoming sleevers, i have to join in with the September Sleevers. Be Well and Happy in your new skin!

Hello sleevers, hope you all are well. Congrats to all who has been sleeved this month so far. Hopefully, I will have an August date also. So, today I go for my upper GI series exam and then I am all done all of my requirements.. Question, where can I get one of those cute trackers that some of you have?

Hello all, I went to my last NUT class, now i have to have a sleep evaluation and an upper GI exam and then i should be thru with the pre stuff. i don't have a date yet, but i would hope it would be in August. Hope you all are well.
