Hi guys Im from Fishkill NY had the sleeve 10/7. Doing OK. Haven't lost any weight this week. 4 week post tomorrow. Any one else experiencing the same

Hiya, i had a stall on my 4th week also but by week 5 i started losing again. i'm at week 6 now. as they say on here, don't be discouraged, stalls happen, it's just your body adjusting :) good luck!

HI everyone!

I am interested to know if anyone of you have a medical alert tag. If so, what do you have listed on it? I am going on a cruise in January and I want to get one before I do. My husband is getting to the point where I think he will forget to tell people that I had the sleeve done and I do not want any tubes being put down my throat in an emergency and holes being accidentally put in my stomach. Any suggestions of what to put on my Bracelet?

Also to add, I am from the East End of Long Island, Suffolk County. I had my sleeve done January 22, 2014. Best thing I ever did for myself but I struggle every day to make better choices. Really need to find the right support and refocus myself!

Hi guys! I'm new to Bariatric Pals. I had surgery November 25, 2015 at Montefiore Medical Center. I believe I might be suffering from a hunger headache but I'm doing my best to keep up with liquid diet.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
