How are the September sleevers doing? I had mine 9.9.16....sw 239, cw 180 plus or minus 2 lbs. I am frustrated i haven't lost more...i would like to maximize my sleeve and get down to 130. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

Btw, only my hubby knows about my surgery-the rest of my friends, co workers, family attribute my weight loss to eating lo carb and exercise. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

For the drinking and those 2 days, maybe you could say you arent feeling well and staying home, you can then say your on antibiotics or say your doing a detox to get things back in order after being "sick". With that said, i am about 11 months post op and do have an occasional drink (wine) which was ok with my surgeon and nut-not sure how your specialists feel about it.

Ive been stalled about 2 months now, although i havent been exercising and probably should to get things moving. I think 55 lbs is awesome! Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

Checking in! Sleeved 09.09.16, went from 230 (sw) to stalling out at 194 now. Feel like I've been stuck here forever and felling bummed about it. Cam definitely eat more now too. Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

Checking in...i.am down to 197 and stalled out for weeks! Surgery date 09.09.16 Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

I think that's good! I was 242, sw: 229, cw 197 and i was sleeved 9.9.16 Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

Has anyone used Dr. Fass? He does an inverted gastric sleeve in Texas. Curious about him and his procedure and what recovery was like. TIA Sent from my SM-G860P using the BariatricPal App

@@ChickenChick how are you doing? Ive been off the app so just now checking in! Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

I agree the activia. I had sleeve on 09.09, had my first poop without any laxatives or softeners on 9.19 but it wasnt "enough". On 9.23 i drank an activia yogurt (mango, yummy) and 2 hrs laters i was cleaned out. Sent from my SM-N930P using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved 09.09 and i felt the same way but honestly by day 5/6 i felt better and by day 7 felt normal. I didnt focus on pooping, i had a small poop on the 19th (first one since surgery) and didnt have one since until yesterday when i had some activia and within an hour pooped. I have been on clear and full liquids since surgery so wasnt expecting to poop right away and wanted to give my body time to rest and heal. I promise it gets better i wasnt able to drink much either and still can't but try. Hang in there guys! Sent from my SM-N930P using the BariatricPal App

Whats the med? Sent from my SM-N930P using the BariatricPal App

coffee is approved as a clear liquid on my pre and post op nut instructions. So, no nut limits, but i haven't had any yet, maybe tomorrow Sent from my SM-N930P using the BariatricPal App

I wad also slewbwd 9.9 as outpatient. Woke up great this morning but may have overexerted myself by walking and cooking for my kids, i am exhausted and feel unwell. Sent from my SM-N930P using the BariatricPal App

I am so excited and frightened, tomorrow is my surgery and i still cannot believe that this is what i am doing. It will be outpatient. Any advice for pre and post op (yes ive been reading over the boards but want a single thread here i can refer to)? Any calming words of advice? Sent from my SM-N930P using the BariatricPal App

Beautiful! Thank you! Sent from my SM-N930P using the BariatricPal App

How us everyone doing? Sent from my SM-N930P using the BariatricPal App

Im self pay so it was pretty quick if i wanted it to be, i started the process in May but waited myself until September Sent from my SM-N930P using the BariatricPal App

I know! Gah! I'm nervous and excited. Im on the preop, its not so bad, 30 gram carbs max, 70 grams Protein, limit fat. So not as restrictive as other preop diet plans Sent from my SM-N930P using the BariatricPal App

Hubby isn't sure he can pick me up from the hospital after my sleeve (outpatient). Could i take a cab home? Or another ride option? Sent from my SM-N930P using the BariatricPal App

@@SusieSouth i was more than ready to go it alone as well. I think you'll be fine. Sent from my SM-N930P using the BariatricPal App

Update, hubs will be able to drop me off and pick me up. Yay! Sent from my SM-N930P using the BariatricPal App

that is super frustrating! Hopefully your pcp can resolve this. I hope it works out, Fass offoce is hood about submitting and moving things forward quickly (if u prefer) after that. Sent from my SM-N930P using the BariatricPal App

I'm hoping to be sleeved towards the end of May (bday is May 13, I'll be 41!) in Austin. I have my evaluation this Friday at Dr. Ganta office. Was hoping to find fellow Austinite (& surrounding areas) sleevers! Sent from my SM-G860P using the BariatricPal App

I confirmed and he will be doing the procedure on that friday. I'll be outpatient but if i dont feel well, he (fass) said i can choose to spend the night (self pay) Sent from my SM-N930P using the BariatricPal App @@ChickenChick how are you coming along?
