nailsbyniki 120 Posted December 6, 2013 Hi everyone! My 1 year Surgiversary was yesterday! I'm down 76 pounds! From 227 to 151. I'm 1 pound from my Doctors goal and 11 from my own. More importantly, I'm on half of the blood pressure medicine I was on and will probably soon be on none, I only take one med for my asthma when I used to take three, my oxygen rate is wonderful now and my overall health has astonished my primary care physician. I'm so happy with my sleeve! Congrats! So happy for ya! Glad everything is going great! Keep up the good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pattycake71963 84 Posted December 7, 2013 I am having surgery in December. I am very scared of the malnutrition part of it. I am a nurse and probably just paranoid. I have read a lot of post. Wondering about the stomach spasms I read about. How long they last and how painful they are? I also wondered about if anyone having problems getting to thin and cant keep there weight stable. Is the restriction hard to get use to ? Really nervous. Please respond if you have insight to these questions. Thanks best thing I ever did...no problems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newoutlookonlife 46 Posted December 11, 2013 Sleeved one year ago today. Down 110 pounds and loving life! Went through old pictures last night and can't believe the transformation. No regrets, no complications. Maintenance is a little harder than I thought as I find out habits sneaking up on me. My biggest regain has been 5 pounds after two weeks of gorging on Christmas baking so now I am back to basics, Protein first and back to tracking. Congrats to everyone for their successes this past year. 1 mariamitani reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the restriction hard to get use to ? Really nervous. Please respond if you have insight to these questions. Thanks I was sleeved a week ago on 12/03, and I feel great. I'm having no trouble taking in all of my Water and Protein. I've also not had any stomach spasms, but my surgeon recommended Benadryl if I do. He said it sounds weird, but they've found that it works, and it doesn't interact with any of the other meds you go home on. I haven't had to use it, but interesting information I thought. 1 mariamitani reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
