    I just moved to Spokane from the Seattle area. I had my sleeve in 8/28/14. I've lost 78 lbs so far. I would love to go to a support group.

    I'm having the same issue with my waist. I could be wearing a 14 except my waist is too big. I've lost 37lbs since the start. My waist used to be smaller than hips and thighs. Very frustratingly in a stall too.

    Why is it so hard to get rid of clothes that are too big? I've been pulling out clothes that fit now and trying to get rid of the ones that are too big and it is hard.

    I was sleeved on the 28th and I'm feeling frustrated. I've been at a stall since one week post op. Here I am a little over 3 weeks post op and the scale hasn't moved in over two weeks. I know stalls are normal but this just feels so permanent. I eat right. I get my protein in. I do struggle with water but it's not too bad. I exercise. What am I going wrong?

    Seattle sleevers!?

    GenaH replied to mduffield's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    For the most part, I'm doing good. I get tired very easy and I'm in the middle of a stall. I've lost 18 pounds total and I'm looking forward to even more. I'd love to be part of a support group of Seattle sleevers.

    Seattle sleevers!?

    GenaH replied to mduffield's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Does south King County count as Seattle? ????. I was sleeved at PSSC on the 28th of August.

    I was given pain pills after surgery. If they are too big can you cut them in half? Check with your doctor first.

    August Sleevers Check In

    GenaH replied to Sweet Pea STL Sleever's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I have that same pain and I was sleeved on the 28th. That is the incision where they remove the excess stomach. My doctor told me he had to put an extra stitch in that area to close it and that a hematoma builds under neath that area and that it will hurt for some time and that it will be swollen for an extended period of time as well. My pain is starting to get better now that I'm 2 weeks out but it still hurts some.

    August Sleevers Check In

    GenaH replied to Sweet Pea STL Sleever's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Welcome blesses14life, I know how you are feeling. I was also sleeved on the 28th. This site has been a wonderful experience for me if for no other reason that to let me know I'm not alone. It's interesting to me how different we all are yet how much the same. I hope you find the support here that you need. I know I have.

    August Sleevers Check In

    GenaH replied to Sweet Pea STL Sleever's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Today is much better than yesterday. The pain over my large incision is considerably less. I am 4 days out and am still on liquids. I tried to do too much yesterday and I paid for it. One day at a time.... Good luck everyone!

    My recovery at the clinic went great. I stayed the night because I have many allergies. The staff was wonderful. I have had some rough days at home but I'm feeling a little better today. My main incision has been quite painful and it burns quite a bit. Don't be afraid to take your pain meds. Good luck to all sleevers and I'm looking forward to having more energy.

    Yes PSSC uses robotics as well as manual. I had Dr Kauffmn and I'm very pleased. He has great bedside manner.
  16. GenaH
    Then that must be what I have as well. That incision is deeper and it pulls something fierce when I move. It feels like I'm being stabbed with a hot poker. If I didn't have this pain I would be doing great. It feels better if I walk around the house a little bit but the first 20 steps or so are excruciating.

    What is an indenture in relationship to an incision. I know my incision where they pulled the stomach out is more painful and more swollen than the others. It also has a large hard spot.

    I went to PSSC in Edmonds. The cost was right around $18,000.00. They were very professional and it has been an all around wonderful experience.

    I was self pay and I looked into two places to do the surgery. The first one was St Francis and the second was Puget Sound Bariatric Center in Everett. I went with PSBC because I liked the staff better and the price was reasonable. The St Francis staff kept changing the price on me.

    Hello. I had my sleeve on the 28th and I would love to meet other sleevers in the Auburn area.

    August 28, 2014 sleeve is done.

    GenaH replied to Jammil0411's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I hope you get to feeling better soon. I also had my sleeve on the 28th. Every time I swallow it burns and the main incision hurts very bad. I am finding it hard to stand up. It pulls like there is a rope tied around my incision and pulling through my back.

    Incision is burning

    GenaH replied to Huggies123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I was sleeved on 8/28 and I'm also experiencing severe burning pain at the main incision spot. It's so bad I can't stand up straight. My meds will be gone on Monday and I very nervous about not having anything but Tylenol. Is there anything that you are doing to make it better?

    Just got home

    GenaH replied to alyce's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I just got home as well. I was sleeved yesterday. I'm having horrible incision pain. I'm doing real well on liquids. I just can't believe how much pain there is getting around. It makes me realize how false the movies are when some one gets stabbed in the abdomen and they keep fighting. Inigo Montoya would not have been able to kill Count Rugan.

    August Sleevers Check In

    GenaH replied to Sweet Pea STL Sleever's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'm in the surgical center now and will be here until the morning. While doing my sleeve today the doctor also repaired a hiatal hernia. That is where most of pain is. Otherwise I feel great. Im so thankful that I was able to take a step in the right direction.

    My surgery is tomorrow at 10:00. I'm a little nervous but mostly excited. I come home early the next day.
