Can it be?

[WildChickie 18]

This Friday will be my 4 week sleeve-aversary...Can it be that i actually feel normal? Every day has been something else, weather its being nauseous, leg pains, stomach pains, dizziness. Today I feel like my old self. It is like night and day between last week and this week.

Every new sleever should know that it does in fact get better!!!

hey! we have the same surgeon! glad to hear you're feeling normal. i had a very speedy recovery, i guess i was one of the lucky ones!

Hi Chelsi! how was your experience with Dr Ahmad and the office? You are luck you had a fast recovery!

technically speaking for insurance reasons, dr agarwala was my surgeon so I saw him more pre-op. though now I really only see dr corpi (the woman, I think she is internal medicine). I have no complaints except on the actual day of surgery no one came out and told my mom that I had been moved from recovery to a room. she literally waited three hours before she went off on a nurse and found out I had been moved. overall I would say I am very happy with their team. I wish they had support meetings on weekends though because I'm in school and work in the evenings and never have off to go to support group. how about you? you said you had a bad recovery?

Funny mostly preop I met with Dr Ahmad, now I mostly see either Corpi or Agarwala. Everyone seems to be pretty good. Although I called the nurse today, Annamarie? I think...and she never called me back.

I didn't really have a bad recovery. I would say it was generally pretty good. Rough couple of first days and then last week I had some really bad dizzy spells (which Dr Agarwala couldn't really explain) But now that I am on purees I am feeling really pretty good!

hm, that's weird? were you getting all of your fluids in? luckily i'm six weeks post op so i'm cleared to eat everything except raw fruits and veggies, nuts, and seeds. i'm dying for a salad! lol.

I'm feeling good now. He suggested a possiblr Iron deficiency. Im on puree and taking Vitamins. Move to soft solids on Thursday. Omg can I tell you I said the same thing today?! I would kill for a salad. Who would have thought? Haha
