Go orange

That's why I don't have a scale.. My doctor told me if I had one get rid it and if I don't have one not to get one till one month post op I may wait longer

I waited till first post op appointment.. I was sleeved oct 1.. And saw doctor Tuesday oct 7.. Lost 15lbs.. Not even full week.: Wow your doctor started right away on puréed food.. I'm dying for that.. So tired of the full liquid.. Yeah I purposely don't have a scale yet.. Will get one at one month post op.. ???????????????????????? Lauren

Hey everyone.. I am 1 week post op... Oh the pain I have in that one incision spot where they removed the stomach...I mean pain is a 7-8-9 at times.. Feel like there is a ball::: Anyone else have this??? Also I take a few sips of Water or Soup and I have pain when it goes down and I get so bloated... Anyone else?? Just want to make sure it's normal.. Down 14lbs already post op Lauren

Thanks... Yeah I was also told when you have fair skin you have a lot of pain... I also had hiatal hernia repair and gall bladder removed.. What about the eating I asked about

Wow I was knocked out for full 24hrs.. But I also had hiatal hernia and gall bladder removed at same time... Congrats After anesthesia wears off stay on top of pain meds

I am scheduled October 1.. All approved by insurance and just prepping Buying the stuff I need... Anyone know a place to buy Isopure drink??? Cheaper than GNC October sleeves hope to stay in touch

I have Qualcare.. And they are so simple Saw surgeon August 1.. Set surgery date that day for Oct 1.. Did all my clearances already Just marking the calendar.. Can't wait

I'm scheduled for Oct 1 and wish it was tomorrow Can't wait .. Good luck

Where in NJ?? I'm from NJ also having my surgery at Bayshore hospital

Hey everyone.. I just got the approval for surgery.. I'm scheduled October 1... I have my list to check off... Luckily I just had an endoscopy and cardiac work up in May.. So those I don't need to do.. Have first nutritionist appoint Monday.. My history... I'm 42 single mom of 2.. With 4 knee surgeries in past .. 2 herniated back discs.. Hyperglycemia .. High cholesterol .. So I am looking forward to getting of meds and having an active life with my kids... Without knee pain.. I am nervous..: but so excited.. I am doing my research as to preparing for after.. Have knowledge.. Can anyone who had this done way in as to what you ate or drank after surgery..: being a single mom I want to prepare ahead and get things as I go shopping when money allows it... Congrats to all of you making a life altering change ) Lauren

My doctor said I have a small hiatal hernia and will repair once in... Did it slow your recovery???

I work with a bunch of judge mental women in a hospital.. Someone from another dept had it done and all they did was talk about it.. And mind you they are all twigs.. So me hiding it is my preference.. My surgery isn't till Oct 1.. So I have already started with the watching what I'm eating etc.: I am very excited to have this done and don't want any negative to it.. I hate drama.. So that's why I'm telling a selected few...

My 2 best friends know.. My 18yr old daughter knows and that's it.. Work will only get I am having a procedure .. I have time to talk to doctor and figure it out.. I will only be out for 2 weeks.. My parents have health issues and I'm not telling them to have to worry.. My 2 best friends are nurses so that's why I told them.. It's my choice and I'm a private person as to who knows my business .. Good luck all

Right now... I have no second thoughts just excitement as to where I will be in future with my kids... And hoping one day I fit back into my size 6 jeans that yes I saved cause they are my fave.. But I'm sure as I get closer I will.. But congrats to a life altering change in your life.. Taking charge if you is rewarding ❤️❤️❤️

Can I ask why Mexico for surgery??? When majority of all insurances cover the gastric surgery.. Just curious..
