I am about two weeks behind you. I was sleeved on the 29th of Nov. so it will only be two weeks tomorrow. My doc says I can move on to pureed (Phase 3) food until I am three weeks out. I am so...

My chills and low fever is back this morning so I think I will go to the walkin clinic and get a chest xray just to make sure its not pneumonia. I think I am recouperating normally from the sleeve...

Thank you so much for the advice. That's exactly what I'm going to do, keep pushing the fluids and protein. I am feeling better this afternoon. It is only day 4 and I might have been jumping the...

I had my sleeve on Wednesday and went home Thursday. I woke up Friday extremely sore and in pain, running a fever, chills, and nausea. Called the Dr. and his concern was the fever and my cough. ...

I am having my surgery Nov. 29th and I have a few questions I forgot to ask my surgeon. I am still concerned about the staple line. I guess that is my biggest concern regarding the surgery.

Don't worry about the Psych evaluation. Something would have to be really off with someone in order not to pass it. I agree with what everyone else said about it. I also think they just want to be...

I understand about the holiday issue. My surgery date is Nov. 29 so I will be on my pre-op liguid diet on Thanksgiving. I also do all the cooking and it is at my house. That is really going to be...

I'm so glad things worked out for you. Good luck on your journey.

I have very thin hair. I went through several rounds of chemo a few years back and when my hair came back it was very thin. I have to arrange it very carefully so my scalp doesn't show. A real...

WOW, congratulations. I am so impressed. I can't wait to start my journey.

Good luck Jeff......you got this!

That's great! Congrats!

Thank you, that makes a lot of sense. I am tired of using all of my three-quart stomach. I don't want one that big. I do have a problem of sometimes eating until I am too full. It will be nice to...

So true!

Your right, and I am glad we have a second chance to fix it. You have done wonderful with your journey. I hope I can be as successful. Thanks.

Oh my goodness, that makes sense too. We are programed to be able to store food, which we don't need to do anymore. Got it!

That makes sense to me. Thanks

I think that the scariest part is having 80% of your stomach removed. I get to thinking that it can't be right to change your anatomy that way. I mean the stomach is a particular size and shape for...

Well I'm from Michigan and still considering this procedure. I am going to my first seminar tomorrow in Muskegon where I hope to learn more. I am very excited about this because my daughter had it...

I don't like yogurt either. Especially just plain yogurt. Hope we can mix in some flavor.

Good luck on your journey to your new life.

I have recently joined this site too. I am also in the research stage and I am trying to learn as much as I can. I will be attending my first seminar in a couple days. My daughter had this...

Thank you so much, that was helpful. I have just started researching this procedure and I will be attending my first seminar in a couple days. I want to learn as much as I can. I am glad to hear...

I am seriously considering gastric sleeve surgery. I have a couple questions though. First, I understand they remove about 80% of your stomach and staple your sleeve. Do they actually remove that...

Thank you for letting me in your group. My 34 year old daughter had the sleeve procedure in Feb. of 2016. She has lost all the weight she needed to reach her goal and she looks and feels fabulous....
