    May sleevers results so far!

    When I went and saw my BS for my 3 month, he said you are doing way better than most people! You've lost 50lbs, that's incredible, you are eating well, exercising and look great, I can't ask for anything more. I asked him why I was losing so much slower than people on the threads, he said with some people they either have more to lose, so lose it faster, or didn't have good eating habits before. He said you didn't eat bad, you just ate too much. It made me feel better, and made me remember that we are all different and I shouldn't get so discouraged. Just thought I'd share.

    I'm also a slow loser, but I'm working out and eating well, so I have to have hope it'll continue to go down, I've been the same weight for 3 weeks.

    I feel great, losing weight, finally. I felt so conflicted about getting another surgery, I felt I had failed the lapband, what's to say that I won't fail with this. And I was eating right and exercising, but I couldn't stop throwing up with the band. My surgeon said he knew how I could feel that way, but the band failed me. Not the opposite. The first few weeks of the sleeved life is hard, but I'm 5 weeks out now, and I feel great!

    I had a lapband, that was placed in 2010, I had tons of problems with it. Really the revision was a breeze. They took out the band, and did the sleeve, all in the same procedure, it was similar to the lapband surgery, so I was ready for the recovery.

  13. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had really bad back pain? I'm really feeling ok, still tender but otherwise doing well, but my back is killing me. I'm not sure if I hurt it trying not to hurt my stomach, or just slept on it odd. Just wanted to see if anyone else has had this problems and can shed some light, or just tell me I'm being a big baby and suck it up cupcake!!!!

    today is the day

    I'm a week out today, and felt the same as you, I was pretty sure my heart was going to stop before I got to the hospital. You are going to do great! The first few days a rough, but I didn't think any worse than having the lapband, the worst part for me was the nausea and wanting to down a bottle of water and only being able to sip, so that's what you do, just keep sipping and every day you'll get better! Good luck!!!

    May 2013 Sleevers!

    Hey everyone, I've been stalking the VSG page for a while, but this is my first post. I went today for my admission paperwork, EKG, and blood work. My surgery is the May 21st. I am having my lap band removed and sleeve placed, my anxiety is through the roof. I know it's normal to feel anxious before a surgery. I guess I feel more nervous about failing the sleeve, like I did the band. I know I can't think that way, but I'm so creaking nervous. Happy thoughts, happy thoughts..... Good luck everyone.
