[EriMonae 17]

Hey Hey Hey!

I was sleeved 11/9 and actually had some complications I was in and out of the hospital the entire month of November. This is actually the first week I’ve felt GOOD! I had so much pain it was ridiculous and I haven’t experienced any in the past two days. Im hoping everything goes completely uphill from here. Finally able to get some good sleep and lay on my right side lol.. Im eating foods that are easy to chew and become mushy no red meat yet but crab and scallop was dinner last night. I cant get to much down but I take my time. Hope you all are well and taking care of yourselves.

Hi Everyone! This is my first post in the forum, and I'm excited to be here. I'm leaving for Mexico tomorrow to have a LapBand-to-Sleeve revision on Tuesday. Dr. Aceves is doing my surgery. I'm going alone, so I'm a little nervous, but I can't wait to get on the other side!

Hi everyone,

I've been scheduled to have my surgery 3/6/12. Congrats to all you and I hope you all are doing well! I look forward to following everyone's success.

Hey Guys!!! I was sleeved about 10 days ago... I'm feeling pretty good.. Got some reflux issues going on... Hopefully, they will be resolved tomorrow at my 1st post-op appointment..

How are you all??

I'm new to the group, I am ending my first week of the liquid diet (15lbs lost so far)... It's been hard specially watching the games but I'm doing it. My surgery is on the 30th of this month, kind of nervous and going back and forth about doing it still. Happy to find this group!!!!

Hello all,

I joined the board a while back when I starting researching the sleeve and now I am back and ready to have the surgery. I am self pay and wish I can get it done now but I have to wait until the summer. I won't qualify for leave until then and my son will be out of school so I won't have to worry about him as far as homework and extracurricular activities and such. Also we have a disney vacation planned in June and my job is telling me I have to use all of my PTO before the leave will start so I have 3 reasons for waiting.

It's very inspiring to read about everyone's successes and to learn from the not so successful experiences.

Hi, I had my VSG a few days ago 2/23 in Tijuana Mexico with Dr. Garcia. I spent 2 nights in the hospital and 2 nights at the Marriott Hotel and so far so good. My stomach feels like I over did it with stomach crunches. So I take my pain meds every 4 to 6 hours. When I got out the hospital yesterday, it hurt when ever i took a sip of liquid. I could feel it as soon as it hit the top of my stomach and I could feel when it hit rock bottom. It only hurts for a second. Today I dont feel it going down like yesterday. So Im going to try to get more fluids in today. Im not thinking about solid food at this point. Just want to get fluids and broth down. No vomiting, thank goodness for that. I have been walking and resting. I will take a shower and change my bandages in a little bit and venture downstairs and mingle with the other guest.Take care everyone.

Congratulations on being Sleeved! Take it slow and sip slowly. Everything you have described is perfectly normal and you are on your way to recovery.
