  1. I had a Breast reduction in 2002, and breast augmentation in 2007, liposuction on stomach, thighs, muffin top section in 2009, another breast reduction in 2017 with smaller implants replacing the ones I had in 2007, and on Oct 31, I’m having the gastric sleeve. I am a BMI of 32 and SW is 180. My goal is 125. I’m 5’3 and gaining weight in all the wrong places gives me major aches and pains along with my tailbone actually hurts when I sit. Does anyone have experience with liposuction before weight loss surgery? I’m curious to know if the areas that once had fat sucked out will be easier to lose? Will they be thinner?
  2. In getting to the point in my post op, like, can I just put it in my mouth, chew, and spit it out????

    Tespo Vitamin dispenser

    They give you two bariatric discs since you are taking them twice a day. And one disc of the multi vitamin.

    Vitamins

    Yes, mine too. But the diet said “no vitamins” so I was wondering if that meant no pills. If they are crushed and in liquid is that ok?

    Tespo: Liquid Vitamin and Dispenser

    I got the discount too and love it. I’m trying to find out if I can’t start taking the tespo vitamins right away.

    Vitamins

    What day do you start taking vitamins? I have powder vitamins, It’s the tespo system. So there is no pill. Can I start now? My surgery was on the 31st of October.

    Tell me about your immediate post-op recovery!

    I experienced exact same thing with the meds and anesthesia. I was thinking I made a huge mistake. Yesterday, I woke up, started drinking, walking. I finally felt like myself again. I denied all drugs yesterday because I think they dope me up to much and all I would want to do is sleep. Anyway, I’m home now- so much better. I just need to control my stomach incisions. They are very painful. And drink those fluids well!

    October 2018 Sleevers

    Thanks. It did last roughly 24 hours. I woke up yesterday feeling great. We went ahead and did a Gi tract X-ray and it showed everything going down correctly. I do have spasm so that could make me nervous but at least I know what it is.

    October 2018 Sleevers

    I had my surgery for sleeve on wed, the 31st. I have been miserably nauseated and I can’t. Keep water down. The nurse said she thinks perhaps my hole into the sleeve is too small. She sent the dr a message suggesting I may need a balloon surgery to widen the hole a little. Anyone had this done? I really want to go home today. :(

    Dr made my opening too small

    I have to have this done today. I had a sleeve on Wednesday. I can’t hold water down, I’m nauseous all day. How did yours end up being!

    Liposuction, breast reductions before sleeve

    Yes, reduced, then after two kids they were gone and I had a tubal so I went ahead and had them filled, then after a long time I gained a lot of weight and had to reduce them again. I’m not really too worried about them I was just wondering more about Liposuctioned sections.
