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!

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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
