I'm from St. Louis! Got sleeved june 27th (: I went with Dr. Morales at the weight loss institute at DePaul

[prisytomboy 24]

yes! dr. varela...have you met him? he's way cool! i thought he was foreign just from the name but from what i can tell he's american. yes mine is at wash u and i work there as well. i was a little discouraged with the process they have in place but time flew by. i love angela britt, she's an angel. have you gone to any pre-op meetings? 1 is required but i've been to 2. i visit their Facebook page sometimes but its pretty dead on there...not a lot of activity, not sure why. when did you start the process? i started in march. sorry if i'm all over the place....multi-tasking lol

nice to meet you!

[prisytomboy 24]

*waving*

@lowe...you're on deck up next to bat...are you excited? nervous? good luck to you!

@pkehrer...you're fresh out the hospital. how are you holding up? what's your journey been like? taste buds? any tips?

so happy to know i have local family on here!

Prisytomboy I'm doing well thanks compared to a lot of people mine went extremely smooth, no vomiting or anything. Was off pain meds my 2nd day home. And 10 days out i have virtually no pain and am doing everything I would normally (except the eating of course). Not going to lie, I miss my old food desperately, but my will to get healthier still outweighs that (:

Prisstimboy OMG I am so happy to have found someone with the same dr. Yes everything has been great with the

I too am a fan on their page i dont want to share my name on here but i can send you a message with my name and we can follow on fb with pics if you want!! I get on this app from my phone not sure if i can load a photo that way or not. I'm so excited!!!!

@lowe - i will be thinking of you next week! You'll have to give us updates!

[cantw8t2bme 24]

@pkehrer how are you doing? Feeling good? What pain meds did they give you? How long did u have to wear the drainage port?

[pkehrer 79]

@mr_worm umm thanks..I think? lol

@cantw82bme I'm doing great 20.2 pounds down since my liquid preop so i'm feeling pretty good. They gave me a liquid loritab and I only used it once. And I actually didn't have a port..so I'm actually kind of clueless to what that is exactly..
