Hi there. I had dr ku and i was sleeved 6-18. How are you doing? I was able to come home yesterday.

Congrats!

I am doing good. I had trouble getting in my liquids and got dehydrated twice, but seem to be doing better now. I have lost 53 pounds so far. My highest weight was 294. Surgery weight was 283. I am now 241. I had my 4 month post op last week and the only thing that was wrong was I have low Vitamin A. I am taking lots of Vitamin A now! I am losing hair...my advice to you is to get in as much Protein as you can as soon as possible. It takes about 3 months for our hair to show that it didn't get enough protein. I am hoping this will end soon!

Feel free to ask me any questions you have!

Did u schedule ur sleep study yet? They are not fun but well worth it. I feel so rested when I use my nasal pillows. I used to fall asleep driving on 76. Crazy tired!!! Not anymore. I'm from Feltonville area. I'm getting mine done at Mercy Fitzgerald' date=' Dr. Ram. Don't have a set date yet. Aetna is acting up after I completed all my tests, support, exercise, and nutrition classes. It's frustrating but I leave it in God's hands. Wishing you the best with yours.[/quote']

I agree getting a sleep study is worth it. I was tired all the time and did not know why. They discovered I had sleep apnea. I think the CPAP machine helps a lot. But can't wait to be rid of it lol.

I am from Allentown as well. My surgeon was Dr Harrison at Lehigh Valley Hospital. I was sleeved 3-19. When I woke up in recovery the first thing they said was "happy birthday to the new you"! The OR and recovery staff were great.

I love Dr Harrison. He is my surgeon. He did my endoscopy last week and was great the entire time. He will be doing my sleeve July 19th.
