I was sleeved yesterday (Dec 31, 2013) around 4pm. It went well. I had quite a bit of pain in my tummy as I woke up, but they gave me morphne and it was greatly reduced. I had a good night with the exception of some naeusea when I walked around the room. Will do the leak test today.

I hope all the 30th and 31st sleevers did well!

Sleeved on 12/24/13. Other than working the gas out of my system, surgery and hospital stay was uneventful. 2 week check up on 1/6/14. Looking forward to being cleared for soft foods. Knock on wood....things have been going great.

Well the surgery went well and hospital stay wasn't bad at all once the anesthesia made it's way out of my system. Barely any pain in the abdomen. Only thing to complain about is that I'm getting the hiccups for long periods of time. Hope everyone else who had their's done on the 31st is doing well.

My sleeve procedure went well, Dr Mir Ali did an awesome job. I want to thank all the nurses at Fountain Valley Regional Hospital for taking case of me, they did a great job taking care of me. Had mild discomfort due to gas and slight pain getting up out of bed at times. Home now on my liquid diet feeling pretty good two days out.... Let the journey continue.

1 month post op today. After a 2 week stall In just lost another 5. That's 25 total! SW 230 CW 205!!!! I can almost taste "one-derland". All restrictions have been lifted I can eat anything healthy and rich in Protein, I just have to chew the heck out of it. Hang in there newborns. Its worth the discomfort and hard work!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
