I was sleeved 08/29/16 HW 317 SW 308 CW 264....I'm happy with the weight loss some what...I know I could lose a lot more if I exercise I hate going to the gym I hate working out period I just can't find the motivation to just get up and do it. Yes I do work 2 jobs but I don't want to use that as an excuse. Sent from my SM-G900T1 using the BariatricPal App

Stay focus!!! I lost exactly 8lbs in one week on my pre diet by drinking Protein shakes all day. Sent from my SM-G900T1 using the BariatricPal App

I'm sorry pre visit I only had about 3 Sent from my SM-G900T1 using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon is a hr away from my understanding everything is normal I'm only 10 weeks out and have only seen him twice...I believe I should have seen him 3 times already however his office was in a area that hurricane Matthew hit which pushed my appointments back.....I wouldn't suggest you not to have it based on the distance it's ppl on this site that has had their surgery in Mexico as far as post visits I only had maybe 3....Are you waiting to get approved? If so blood work and other things you will need can be done anywhere honestly it's not bad at all......The only problem I have with it is the support group the one for the hospital I was sleeved at only does theirs the first Tuesday of every month and I work EVERY Tuesday by the time I get off with traffic I will not make it with a hr drive......I've tried local support groups but they are real funny about letting you in if you wasn't sleeved at their hospital.

Awwww sorry your the same young lady that I said shouldn't of told them and someone said being honest is the key ummmmm yeah right.....I've learned getting this surgery that so many people will be jealous and try to stop you.....I hope you find away around it good luck!!! Oh and doing it in January your out of pocket cost is gonna be more huh?? Sent from my SM-G900T1 using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved 8/29/16 I still follow my NUT instruction which is why I feel like I should be losing more I'm allowed to eat veggies just not starchy ones....To lose 45lb and your starting weight was 225 is actually good my starting weight was 318 and I've just lost 50lb Sent from my SM-G900T1 using the BariatricPal App

I'm 10 weeks out today I started feeling hungry around 7 weeks...I notice when I'm at work and moving around I'm dying for Breakfast and lunch when I'm home I kind of eat on a schedule. Sent from my SM-G900T1 using the BariatricPal App

I can't find the fb group can someone help me? I was sleeved August 29th Sent from my SM-G900T1 using the BariatricPal App

Oh and one more thing not saying you won't have saggy skin with the sleeve as well it just depends on a lot of factors...Good luck!! Sent from my SM-G900T1 using the BariatricPal App

I know people who had the band, bypass and then myself having the sleeve and everyone of us is happy with our results.....I choose the sleeve because I didnt want to lose to fast, have saggy skin nor did I want to lose my buttt!!!!!!.....I too didn't have any health issues which made me a better candidate for the sleeve.....You have valid points about both my best advice would be which one of the pros is most important to you....If having dumping is important to you then go with RNY my friend is a year out and still don't mess with sweets.....If in the end saggy skin would be a major problem then go with the sleeve.....Good luck!!!

You will be fine good luck!!!! Sent from my SM-G900T1 using the BariatricPal App

Hope you get approved!!! honestly you shouldn't told them what you was going out for.......My boss has been in her position for 6 months and has ran half the staff away so she was very upset when I put in for FMLA and had the nerves to ask what the surgery was for I polity told her that's personal information that I will not discuss with you........However some how she found out what it was for because my first day back she go "I like your new smaller scrubs" I gave her a big smile and said thanks and walked away....... Like others is saying I don't think they can deny you however my job was asking was it elective and was saying they could possibly give me a date to go out basically what time the company could stand to have me out.

Yes!!! I seen that particular post I actually felt sorry for the person I was like dang we come here for motivation and advice not to be scolded like little children. Sent from my SM-G900T1 using the BariatricPal App Eating solid food at 5 days out is dangerous. There are far too many people here saying "don't worry about it, I did it and I'm fine" when it's flat out DANGEROUS. I never once said it wasn't DANGEROUS however we are all grown and no what we are suppose to be doing she as I said scolding someone as if they are your child is ridiculous Yes!!!

Girl do what you want with YOUR body and as for support I don't have none either my dad and brother did come to the hospital while I was in surgery but after that I was on my own and been on my own since......Yes my surgery was done here only because my insurance paid for it if they would have denied me off to Mexico I would have went solo not sure if that's your issue or not just saying.
