hammybowl 1 Posted March 9, 2016 Hello all, I had the sleeve on March 2. Doing surprisingly well. Tolerating liquid diet fine, however, getting nervous about the journey ahead.

Daveo 485 Posted March 10, 2016 I'm doing pretty good, I started at 467 at surgery and currently at 316 13 months out. Things are a lot easier now from just being able to walk longer distances to bending over and not killing myself. I'd say that keeping up on your Water is something you really want to keep an eye on. I was getting sick and feeling nauseated all the time and then figured it was because of water. Once I kept up on my water those symptoms went away. Oh and also for the Constipation thing. lol lots of water needed! other than those issues I had a good recovery. I have learned what foods I can eat now without an issue.

farooforever 20 Posted March 19, 2016 I am also from Las Vegas. Had surgery with Dr. Lyass on 3/4. I am supposed to see a support group monthly but they didn't give me any suggestions for groups that meet. Anyone find a group? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daveo 485 Posted March 19, 2016 @@farooforever I have yet to find a group I can attend since they are usually on Tuesdays through Dr. Atkinson's office. There is this place that has a support group, you may want to try. https://blossombariatricsportal.pattrax.com/Seminar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
