I have been in your position back in May it all will work out. I was denied and then approved not Im 3 weeks out and the stress is still on me but knowing I have made this one step to being healthier really helps me mentally. Good Luck

We have the same date. I have not had solids yet but Im getting hungry more and more since I first got out of the hospital. I have 2 Protein shakes a day, Soup, yogert and cream of wheat for the day. Im not sure if thats too much either I have to waite for my next appointment to see what else I can eat.

I would just focus on healing and working on yourself and making this process about you and not about all your marriage issues. Its a good outlet and in the end what ever happens is going to happen no matter if you had this done or not. Take Care and speedy recovery

I am 3 weeks out now and Im having issues with the main incision healing. It is not closing up and has puss still coming out of it. I went to the Drs and they said just keep gouze on it with tape and it should heal. Its been 3 days now and still the same its not looking better. Has anyone had any issues with the incisions not healing correctly? if so what helped it?

Wow!! Im divorced but he did tell me I was fat all the time so I think looking back he would have been excited about me getting this done. I cant believe she did not go with you and is putting you down. This is a huge change in someones life for the good not bad, hopefully she is not jealous and will change her view once you start loosing the weight and start feeling more confident. Good luck and sorry for the Debbie downer in your life just think positve...

I was denied the first time then they re submitted and I was approved so no matter what no worries. Im 3 weeks out from surgery and im so glad its all worth it. The journey of getting approved is so stressful its actually just as difficult as the healing I think. Good Luck

Thank you i just never seen such a gross thing in my life all the other incisions are looking perfect and I was wanting to stop taking the paid meds but I cant because of the pain I have in that one. Hopefully another few weeks it will heal.

What I have done at restaurants is order Soup but ask just for the broth. They actually do it for you so maybe that is an option. I get a funny look but they are more then willing I have done it at islands for the Tortilla Soup and at Claim Jumper for the onion soup. Happy Birthday

It went well lost 20 lbs since the pre op diet and 2 1/2 weeks since surgery Im pretty excited. I will start walking next week when it hopefully gets cooler

Dr Iqbal I actaully have my first check up tomorrow to see how Im progressing. The process took so long to get here now that I have had the surgery time is just flying by. Its so nice I should be getting my clear for puree foods hopefull. I have not eaten in 24 days total. Looking forward to that

I had mine on the 14th at Fountain Valley they were great i was in and out with a 1 night stay. Good luck

When would this start? Are kids allowed or is this a kid free support group?

I packed too much I was in the Hospital for a day and did not use anything I brought pretty much slept because of the pain. Good Luck

Im kinda far for you in South OC and older but I had mine done on the 14th and so far I have been pretty happy wiht the results I wish I would have done it sooner for sure. Good Luck

I had it for a week before which is hard becasue you are not in pain or having a smaller stomach. After the surgery the liquid diet is easy I have now been on it for 24 days total and its just a way of life until I can eat again.. Just enjoy the Protein shakes because I missed them for the 5 days I could only have Clear Liquids. Good luck

I got one its kinda strange even if I went out I dont know if i would use it,

I took 2 weeks off and just went back today. It was not too bad everyone is different in recovery good luck on your surgery

Same here I have only lost 18 pounds pre op and after Im 2 weeks out as well. I see all the stories avout 30 to 40 in a month and I cant believe it. I just gotta keep praying it gets better as I get more active

So i have decided to weight myself 1 week post surgery and I have not lost a significant amount of weight. Since last Tuesday I have lost 5 pounds. Is this normai? I am on a liquid diet and getting my Protein and Water in as directed yet still not loosing weight. Any one else having these issues and if so when can I expect a turnaround?

Im interested Im on Orange County

Im am having the smae issue not so much gaining but just not seeing results. I am also feeling hungry being on the liquid diet for post op. Im drinking Protein shakes and Soup but still get that hunger feeling and for some reason fell like maybe not enough stomach was taken out. Sounds odd but I have that doubt in my mind

livvsmum I have a couple of questions for you... We are the same height and almost same starting weight, I was sleeved last Tuesday. What would you say best worked for you when you first started this journey? I find myself hungry on the liquid part of this journey and Im scared I will go back to bad habbits. Did you work out if so how much and time wise? What did you eat afterwards and what has made this journey continue at your goal weigh, Thank you for all your encouraging words. I have been reading blogs that this seems to not work for some prople and they gain it back and that is my worst nightmare.

I had mine on the 14th I was doing great until today I feel more sore and a little sick to my stomach. I tried a Protein shake but its just not going down right. I have walked a little but no longer then 20 mimutes.

Im doing pretty well still taking the meds but I have been able to get out of the house and go to Walmart for a little bit. I actually forget i had this done until I drink or get up. Everything seems pretty normal now Im just looking forward to results and getting this part of the journey started!!!! The Healthy, a lot less heavier and more productive mom that I can be.

I have 5 too and started as well must of been the messing with the stomach I have pain from the surgery then cramps from me starting. No fun
