Hello Everyone. I just got approved by my insurance company (in two days!!). I'm meeting with my surgeon on May2nd and then we schedule the surgery. I'm not happy about the wait time just to meet the surgeon and am trying to figure out a way around it. I'm so ready to be on the other side already! Looking forward to joining the losers' rank lol. I'll keep you all posted[emoji4][emoji1417]

I never realized how much of a real addiction food was until now. I'm not hungry at all but yet I'm always thinking about food. Always.. Foods I wish I could eat right now. Foods that sound do good!! Constantly thinking about what I could possible get away with eating and cheating on my post op diet. I don't cheat though. I just sit here and sip my protein shake and water and daydream. I feel ridiculous.

Hello! Im not really sure just how this app works yet but here goes nothing: I'm about 3/.5 years out of gastric bypass surgery and overall, I had lost about 100 pounds, I was finally down to a healthy weight and was happy with my body for the first time ever. However, over the last year/year and a half, I've gained back about 30 pounds and I'm afraid I will continue to gain. I've tried to put myself back on the liquid diet, but have failed multiple times. Does anyone have any advice on ways that I could kick start my weight loss again? Please help! I have no support groups nearby, I'm fighting this battle alone. Kylie

Doing great some soreness. Had my first protein shake yeasterday!! It was amazing. No nausea no vomiting!! So excited to get to my goals!

Tomorrow is my 1 year sleevaversary. Thought I would share what I have experienced over the past year. Fair warning, this was a year in the making, so it's a little long.... I have lost 92 lbs and gone from size 22/24 to 12/14. My Plantar Fasciitis is gone and I can walk for miles. I can wear heels and cross my legs. Shoe size shrank by 1/2 size. I can sit indian style and move a lot better. The interior of my car seems a bit bigger and I just fit into the world better. I lost some hair and now have 3" strands growing back all over my head. I never vomited or had dumping or foamies. I eat very low carb and don't miss carbs one little bit. Truly. I have lots…

Hi, my name is Yelissa and I'm 29yrs old. I finished my 6 month classes and all my testings. Now waiting for that call so I can sign the consent for a surgery date. I'm so excited and nervous. I have gone back and forth onhaving surgery but I finally decided that this is the best thing for me. I had an accident a couple of years ago in which I broke my knee and fractured my spine. I've had two knee surgeries, have disc bulging, arthritis and joint dysfunction on my spine. At this point I've been told I either lose the weight or get spine surgery. So of course I've chosen to lose the weight because I know that since I've gained weight, I've been feeling more pain. I now ha…

Hi all!! I'm really starting to get nervous about surgery, although I started this journey over 2 years ago. Did u sleep the whole time in hospital? I'm worried about being bored :/. Also, I hope I'm able to still make dinners for my family in the first few weeks... thoughts? I have soooo many questions....

I want to ask people for some advise. Almost 4 years ago I had sleeve surgery. I was at 340 lbs when I went in for my 1st Dr. apt and was at 223lb the day of my surgery. I made it down to 269 and now I am back up to 305. It seems like I can eat pretty much any size portion I want. Yes I do have some discomfort when I eat too much, but I know my sleeve has stretched a lot. I have tried cutting down my meal sizes, but cant get down under 300 . I feel like a total failure. What are my options? Can my Dr help? Am I eligible for the sleeve again or is there another surgery I could get? Will my insurance cover it? Lots of qu…

Hi guys I'm interested to hear people's experiences. I had surgery on oct 19 2016. I have lost since surgery 5 stone. I have not lost anything for over 2 months , not a single 1lb. I am just nervous that this is the end for me . Please share if anyone have experienced this ?

I don't understand why... I started taking my bariatric vitamins over 2 months before surgery and they were no big deal. Never bothered me. Now, surgery was March 6th, and ever since... I have to take the pills WITH FOOD... and even then EVERY SINGLE TIME, I get nauseated... what the hell???

Please ALWAYS consult with your medical team prior to trying anything. I was very lucky to have one of the top Bariatric Surgeons as my surgeon. Best of luck with your journey! Hope this helps! God Bless Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've posted on a couple forums before but haven't fully introduced myself. I'm from Arizona , I'm 32 and have struggled with my weight all my life. Lost some weight with medifast but gained it back and also with Atkins. Decided on the surgery about four months ago and did it Thur the company I work for. One of the best Bariatrics surgeons around. I didnt have to lose any weight per the insurance but the surgeon wanted me to lose a little beforehand. I lost about ten pounds before and last Monday was my surgery. I felt pretty good the first couple days but had little set backs of feeling just gurgley and weird. Also I was told beforehand that I might have had small holes …

Hey guys. I was sleeved March 27th and released March 29th. Feeling a little better today (4 days post op), but boy were those original gas pains a nightmare. Also one of the hardest parts was right after surgery how dry my mouth was and we couldnt sip Water until our contrast study the next morning. I got to wet my lips with a little sponge, which was really nice. I was really nervous for contrast study the next day, but the radiologist was really sweet and the barium wasn't too bad. I was burping all day March 28th and 29th, but didn't pass rel gas until March 30th. (I mostly pass gas while sleeping at night.) I am trying to get my fluids in as best as I can. Today I go…

I had my surgery on Monday and today it is Friday. I've been able to eat a little scrambled egg and I'm getting my liquids down fine I got on the scale today and weight is the same as the day I had surgery. When did you guys start to see the scale move?

Good morning everyone, so I had surgery around 7:00 a.m. Yesterday March 1st. When I woke up I was in a lot of pain(gas pain). I'm normally a person who can tolerate pain but not this. The staff here at Saint Vincent has been more than amazing to me. Today, I feel much better. Ready to start my new healthy journey. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have loss 17lbs since surgery. I feel good and hubby can tell already[emoji4]

3 month follow-up went well. Down 90lbs total. Surgeon is happy with the progress. He wants me to focus on working out more and strength training to lessen the potential for excess skin in the end. Having this surgery was the best decision I have ever made. DS on 12/30/16

Fellow sleevers unite! I remember you all, surfing through these forums for hours worried about my surgery but excited for the potential health and physical change. Now I'm on the other side almost 5 months out and want to share my story with those that are waiting in anticipation or a few days out wondering whats next. I was sleeved on 09/29/2017. At my surgery I weight 363 and my weight when I started the liquid diet was 380.4. I think I ended up topping out somewhere around 387 in the days or weeks before the liquid diet. As of this morning I weight 273.8. So roughly 107 lbs in 5 months. I'll take it! Size wise I am currently a 38 waist, and XXL top. I was a…

In 2 days I start the first day of the rest of my life- God that sounds cheesy, doesn’t it? Hahahah. Seriously though, in 2 days I get sleeved and I’m sitting here kinda freaked out. At this very moment in time, I’m sitting at a makeshift desk in a command center in AZ starting my 12 hour shift. We are monitoring NCAA events. Mind you, it’s mostly a bore in my section with hours of downtime and only spurts of activities when reports come in for triage. So, lots of time for boredom. Boredom is when I eat. Right now I have my go bag loaded with healthy fruits and Protein drinks (my doc doesn’t require a liquid diet). Next to me is a guy with bags of deliciou…

Hi everyone, my name is Arlin I am Dominican and I'm 33yrs old I have two wonderful boys of ages 15 and 9.. I have finally did the Gastric Sleeve Surgery after many years of doubting and very expensive diets.. This is my story! I was never a skinny person not even as a child however I was never considered "fat".. I am considered curvy, I have always been very comfortable with my body, to the point that I have had relationships with men that are very handsome and some say how the hell u got that guy, and my answer has always been " u gotta be confident and be happy" thats a true beauty!! I lost control of my weight after my first child, during my pregnancy with him I…

8/22/2015 I had my sleeve. I was at 254 my current weight is 207. After I had my surgery I was focused on why I could consume so much food and I constantly watched the scale. When I got down to the lower 200 I lost focus on the importance of my purpose in having the surgery and I began to live unhealthy eating what I wanted. Now I have been stuck at 207 and I wish I could start over again but I know that means a lot of life style changes. Time for that reset.

Hello everyone just wanted to share my weight loss story with everyone. I was 345 pounds and my liver was not in good shape. I was so sick of being over weight my body was producing a large amount of insulin and the drs. Couldn't get it under control so it's caused me to gain 100 pounds in 1 year. I started checking into weight loss surgery but never thought I'd have the chance to have it done. I was thankful for my insurance approving my weight loss surgery. I have a 6 month process I had to do before I could have my surgery. I went from 345 to 236 in those 6 months. After surgery was not as bad as I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong those first 3 weeks I thought…
