Did the whole thing alone. Drove home from the airport which was 2 hours. No problems or issues.

I'm a teacher, so have the summers off. I love being home with my kids and having a more relaxed schedule. I kind of help my husband farm, so that keeps me plenty busy. So busy in fact........... I...

So, I don't post very often, but I enjoy reading about other's experiences. Today is my 8 week mark. I love the decision I made to have this done. I am soooo much healthier. I have always been in...

That's what I try to do also, christine53. It seems as though I stay full longer the longer I wait to drink. After 30 minutes of eating, I feel that I'm still too full to drink anyway. I keep...

Do any of you have a scar cream recommendation? Mine really aren't that bad, but at 5 weeks out, I'm ready for them to vanish ;)
Thanks!

Btw..... my profile pic is of beautiful Grand Lake in Oklahoma!

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I'm in the southeast corner of the state. About 45 minutes from Missouri, about 45 from Oklahoma.

Hi, and welcome to this site. It has sooo much great information!
I had my sleeve done in Mexico (Tijuana) with Dr. Quinones just 3 and a half weeks ago. It was a pretty good experience. I feel...

Good to hear from you!!! Thanks for the words of encouragement. Glad you're doing well.... I don't think I've stalled yet (my scale battery died), but what I read on here, it's totally normal. ...

My pre-op diet weight was 220. I'm 3 weeks out and down about 22ish pounds. My goal weight is 160. Is this an achieveable goal? I'm in my late 30s, can already run a mile plus, and am active with...

Ahh geez, thanks!
My school usually shows their appreciation with food...

I'd like to hear what people say. I'm almost 2 weeks post op and am doing great. I'd like to go back to drinking my black morning coffee. I'm fine without...... it's been a month since I've had it,...

We waited a week and a half. That was plenty of time for me. No pain or discomfort.

Omg....... I'm so grouchy too! I came home pissy yesterday and laid on the couch and watched tv. My family though I was sick because I NEVER do that. I'm grouchy again today. Maybe it's the weather...

I'm only about a week and a half out and tried some little bites of food, and it HURT! I no longer think or want food.

My surgery was very private and my husband and I will not be telling anyone. When I went for surgery we told the kids I was going to visit an out of state friend. My 4 & 7 year olds were happy...

My stairs were not an issue at all.

Great day!

A positive attitude is all you need to make your journey a successful one! :)

And it was not bad at all. I had a super long travel day followed by another wait at the hospital. Dr Quinones answered ALL my questions, then it was off to surgery. It went very well (not that I was...

Great question! I hope you get lots of good responses. I'm packing up tomorrow night and leaving my house at 5 a.m. to get on the plane..... Let the responses roll! :)

Maybe your weight is coming off slow because your starting weight is pretty low????
