Hello was just sleeved on June 10th. Would like a sleeve buddy to compare notes.

Noticed today one of the daily pills (Wellbutrin xr) take didn't dissolve the whole pill just went straight thru...anyone know else have this issue or know how to combat?

I call the dr. He's switching me to a no. Extended formula and I'll take it 2x a day. He said I should crush it up and eat it with something to cover the taste...this could get very interesting

My insurance and I have been billed a total of $266,000! I've called Cigna and they won't cover anything because the hospital doesn't bill the patients or something?...so I don't know what's happening..

Texas General isn't on anyone's network BUT they have some kind of deal with Dr Kim. I paid for my surgery out of pocket so the savings really helped. I started with Kim April 4th and had the procedure 6/10. It all happen really fast! The hospital and the staff were all very very nice. I really feel they provided top of the line care. I had an entire team of staff helping me post op and Dr Kim is one hell of a surgeon. I was asking to go for a walk right after waking up in the recovery room.

Dr Kim did mine in June 10th

Surgery was 6/10 Hw 240 Sw 228 Cw 204 36ibs down and feeling mostly normal. Can't seem to have a normal BM but hoping that'll improve with the blended food. Tracking my weight and movement with fitbit products. also, I've noticed a stall. Been hovering around 205 for roughly two weeks. Am I just backed up from not having regular BMs or are my expectations of a pound or so every few days too high?

I know it's cone and gone but anyone else get theirs done on the 10th?

How are you feeling?

A little better everyday as well. I think the pain is almost gone today!! I'm super excited

It'll be worth it. First couple days are rough.

Day 3 post op today. All my muscles are very sore and it's taking me about 90 minutes to swallow 8oz of fluids. Getting up and down difficult but I'm able to walk at a snail's pace. Did figure out today sitting in my recliner is more comfortable than lying in bed. Anyone have suggestions for making this easier?

Thank you all. I really feel reassured. My doc sent me home with plenty of drugs for pain and nausea but that hasn't made it easy. I've been in the recliner most of the day and I did go outside for a couple short walks today. All muscles ache I hope that goes away soon

Thank you that does make me feel a little better. The protein shake today has really helped

I can relate my partner Is a sugar hound and started munching on M&M's the I the day lol. Stick with it!! It's worth it. I'm 2nd day post op. Procedure wasn't bad, it's the gas pain that keeps bothering me. But I just keep walking

Me too! Last night I had a dream I ate a whole bucket of fried chicken with a friend from work. I woke up feeling guilty, then remembered it was only a dream. Today is day 6 of my liquid diet and I am unbearable to be around. (just ask my partner) I've found crunching on frozen suga free popsicles really helps and Jello is my new favorite food.

I am booked for jun 10th doing my liquid diet now and all I can think about is pizza and steak!
