Hi Everyone,

Today is my one-year post-op and wow, what a difference a year makes. I can't tell you how miserable I was 70 pounds heavier. I only wore certain clothes because everything felt...

You were very pretty heavier, but now your gorgeous!! Congrats!!

Hi Terry, you and I had the same surgery date. I'm down 70 pounds but pretty much at a standstill now. I'd like to lose another 10 pounds but going up and down 1-2 pounds - Ugh!!! I agree with you...

Hi Adrienne, I hear you with your frustration on the 3 pounds. I've done the same several times, but I just wanted to let you know that we had surgery 1 week apart and you are way ahead of me. I...

Teresa, maybe you can suggest that you will do it with her, even though you are past that point!! This surgery has too many things that could go wrong, you don't want to go into it knowing you...

Congratulations!!! That awesome!!

This is exactly what I have had since about 1 week post op. I asked my doctor about it and he said not to worry, that I'm still healing. Mine is every once in a while. I thought it had something...

I've been taking my pills since the day after surgery, with no problems!! I'm on a time released medicine that can't be crushed up, so doctor said no problem!! My Nutritianist said that big...

Actigall

Great job. You look so good!!!

I still have some pain and I'm 23 days post op. I saw my surgeon yesterday, and he said it was normal to still have pain. Mine is near my big incision sight.

I have been able to gulp since about day 5. I was worried at first that my sleeve wasn't doing what it was supposed to do but now I'm fine with it. I don't gulp several times at once, but I can...

Hi Debbie, welcome to the site. I was exactly like you and very skepticle, even up to the very day I was getting surgery. I was scared, but knew this was the right thing for me. I had my hubby...

I had the exact same thing and the insurance coordinator told me that their was nothing I could do. I ended up being a self pay and my doctor was very good to me and didn't charge me as much as if...

Yeah!!!!

I'm 12 days post op and I had the same problem, my period came way early! I'm not worried though because a few people here had posted this before. I hope that helps you!! I'm sure you're fine!! ...

Yes, I did too!! No problems with surgery!!!

Welcome and congrats on already losing 30 pounds!!! This site is wonderful!!

When does it start? I was sleeved 5 days ago and haven't had it so I'm wondering if it just takes a while to come.

I had surgery 2 days before you and I know the feeling that you are having because I had it too. For me, it's kinda like "work" to get all your fluids and protein in. You have to make yourself get...

Congrats on making it to the other side!!! The losing side!!

Good luck with everything!! You'll be fine!!! Maybe you can get an iPad to use as communication! I use my iPad way more than my computer!!

Congrats, Heather!!! So glad you surgery went well!!!

Great news!!! So happy for you. The first day was hard for me because wasn't allowed to have anything by mouth at all!! Ugh. Tomorrow will be better. So glad you have not much pain!!

Congratulations, that's huge!!! You look amazing!!!
