For me it was what was supposed to be a romantic weekend at one of those cheesy adult resorts in the poconos. There were mirrors EVERYWHERE. I saw myself from every angle and it was horrible

I've eaten around a lit of people and nobody has noticed. But you could say you're watching what you eat...not a lie

You definately need a ride home. After that it depends on your recovery. For me i would have been ok on my own. I had very little pain, just some soreness. But everyone is different

I snack all the time. I snack on healthy things that are low calorie

You're only one week out take it easy. You will feel better and will be happy you had the surgery

1 can of tuna 1/2 a diced avocado 1 diced hard boiled egg 1 tablespoon capers 2 tablespoons diced red onion 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon lemon juice Mix everything together and serve in a hollowed out half of a tomato

So jealous!!!!

There are no side effects from general anesthesia. They wheel you into the operating room, you slide over onto the table then they give you the good stuff. For me it was a gas they put a mask on me and after a couple of breaths the next thing i knew i was waking up in recovery

Because people don't understand. Most people still think surgery is a cheat or an "easy" way out. I'm also going to assume that whomever told you that probably never struggled with their weight

Talk to your nutritionist

I regret not having surgery sooner

I plan on it. Insurance has a 6 month waiting period....going to give it a good solid honest try and see how I am at the end of the 6 nonths.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using the BariatricPal App You need to be honest with yourself. Do you really think you can keep it off? Loosing the weight isn't the hardest part its keepi g it off long term. Based on your past experiences with dieting do you think you will be able to keep it off if you don't have surgery?

When i lost 50lbs pre op i had a brief thought...but if i could do it without surgery then i wouldn't have been at the point of needing surgery. Obviously I COULDN'T do it without surgery When i lost 50lbs pre op i had a brief thought...but if i could do it without surgery then i wouldn't have been at the point of needing surgery.

From what I've seen here 99.9% of posters are beyond happy with their sleeve. For me i am very happy with my sleeve. Do You have any specific questions? I can tell you about my experience but keep in mind that everyone's experiences are different.

I was told in the beginning to only take chewables and NOT gummies. If you're not sure about ANYTHING talk to your surgeon or nutritionist first since every doctor gives different instructions

I go out often also and I'll usually just order an appetiser or some restaurants have a small plates menu. In my experience people don't notice how little you're eating just as long as you order something. Of course if someone does notice you can say that you're trying to eat less which is not a lie

Congrats!

Your insides are still swollen so your pouch is still teeny. 6/7 months post op all the swelling should be down and you wil see that you can eat a little more. For me it depends on thw food. Steak i can have a few bites of. Chicken a little more. Sashimi i can eat the most of, just over half of a typical sashimi plate at a restaurant

Every insurance has their own requirements. Mine only required that i not gain any weight. But i lost 50lbs pre op anyway

I thought they were horrible

After 6 or 7 months post op all the swelling has gone down so you can eat a little more but that doesn't mean it stretched. With the sleeve they remove the elastic part of the stomach so it can't stretch

Hahaha

Just head hunger. Bit that empty stomach feeling nope

It's done to test for leaks. Fornme they put me on an xray table and gave me some milky stuff to drink.
