About akbutt
- Sleeved or not sleeved:
- I have had a gastric sleeve.
- Biography:
- I am 42, married, two children and three step children. I have struggled my whole life as I am sure most have with my weight and have been considering weight loss surgery ever since I heard of it. Two years ago I went to the UofM for the seminar, saw my doctor and got a note, saw the weight loss surgeon and when it came time to contact my insurance they said they don't cover the surgery. I was sooooo disappointed! My husband and I went on the road for a year (for his work) and I wanted to revisit the idea so I started talking to people I know who have had the surgery. One of them had told me about the sleeve so I started researching and I came across the beliteweight website and realized it would be affordable, as I am paying out of pocket, to go to Mexico. So, away I go and I am so excited!

One would think that it is torture to watch cooking or eating shows on TV but I LOVE IT! I love watching them eat all that yummy food Man vs Food is my favorite.
Yesterday my stomach around my incisions (not the actual incision) was sore; my clothes are rubbing me there and it just feels irritating to me. I noticed the area where I am bruised is numb and I am wondering if the feeling is coming back or if its because my clothes are looser and causing more friction. Also, after

Good Morning friends
Yesterday I had to take a day off due to my husband borrowing my laptop to go in to work. Anyway, it was uneventful regardless. I was feeling tired, a little lazy, and I lost no weight. This morning though, I lost 4 more pounds and I am at 239 (no more 240's)! At this rate I am going to be hitting 199 in no time. LOL
I can't really tell that I have lost as much as the scale says I have except for the fact that my sweatpants are feeling

So when I was doing the pre op diet I told my husband that he could have pop and popcorn at the theater. When I was in Mexico for surgery my doctor said that I could go to the Mexican restaurant and order whatever I want, have drinks, enjoy myself. My husband ordered his usual fajitas, I ordered flautas, and we ordered some grn peppers stuffed with chz because I had never had them and wanted to try them. Well he ate most of his, half of one of my flautas, and half a pepper. I only ate half a
