Anyone losing too much weight in your face? I am!
sleeverv posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am getting comments from others that I'm losing too much weight in my face. I'm starting to wrinke and I'm only two months post op. If you've lost too much weight in your face, what did you do about it? Did you do facial exercises, a facelift or something else? Please share. I don't like this. Thanks in advance! -

Need help with Acid Reflux issues please!
sleeverv posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello: So I'm six weeks out of surgery and I'm experiencing bad acid reflux. Seems that everything I eat is coming back up in a foam form. Did anyone else experience this and what did you do for it. I've never had this problem before. What were you eating at 6 weeks post op. I'm wondering if I'm eating the wrong foods. I'm on solids now. Thanks in advance! -
6 weeks post op!
sleeverv replied to DFernandez718's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congratulations on your weight loss! Keep up to good work. I had a low BMI when I went in 6 weeks ago and had much less to lose. I started at 176 and I'm down to 155.4. I'm pleased with my progress and I'm no longer diabetic!!! -
Anyone had their sleeve done with Dr Liza Maria Pompa Gonzalez in Tijuana
sleeverv posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Hi there: I'm scheduled to have my surgery done with this doctor and am interested in hearing about your experience with her. She came highly recommended by the Surgical Board and has been voted top 10 Bariatric Surgeons in the world. Even so, I would like some real life experiences. Thank you in advance! -

Any June sleevers out there?
sleeverv replied to Suga Renique Reborn's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Premier ready to drink shakes gives you 30 grams per carton. Also genopro flavorless Protein powder can be added to anything. I add it to Soups and it has 30 grams per scoop. It's been a lifesaver. I get about 90 grams of protein per day. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Swelling around incision on left side. 10 days post op
sleeverv posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel swelling around the incision on my right side. It's under my skin and it feels like a big lump. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I have a light bruising outside of it as well. Is this normal? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Yes, I actually went in to see a nurse yesterday and they said it looks perfectly normal. Just part of the healing process. -
Thank you!

Has anyone experienced a leak due to drinking protein prior to 5 weeks?
sleeverv posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon is not allowing me to drink Protein until week 5 because of leakages. I asked her in an email why I can't introduce protein until week five and this is what she says : it is to prevent leakage because of the consistency of protein. Has anyone else ever experienced this? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Yes. I obtained a new doctor and NUT and am starting the full liquid stage today and am on protein! Yay!!! At the grocery store shopping now. They both agreed that 5 weeks of no Protein is dangerous! Thanks for thinking of me!!! -
My surgeon says no protein supplements until week 5. Does this sound right to you?
sleeverv replied to sleeverv's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No, she wants to wait 5 weeks! Insane!!! -

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. It was Clear Liquids for two weeks, full liquids 2 weeks and the 5th week add a protein supplement. -

I would LOVE to know what studies show this. It is the first I have ever heard of anything like that. All the studies I have seen are about the importance of Protein. Yes I would love to see them too. However I'm not even going to bother. I found another NUT locally that I will be working with. I just cannot take the chance of not having protein for 5 weeks. -
