Here is a picture from 06/13/11. This is one of the most recent picture of me. I still shy away from the camera.

I am half way to my goal weight! Seventy four lost and seventy four to go ... I love my sleeve!!!

That is great news ... keep up the good work!

My nausea was really bad for the first 2 days. It lingered on until day 5. I hope your nausea free very soon.

It is called an On Q ball. I had one but I must be an active sleeper, because I pulled out the tubes and the medicine leaked all over my hospital gown. I could not tell a difference with or without it though. I had no pain post op at all.

I went to my PCP for my 6 month physician supervised weight loss. He was the one who referred me to the bariatric surgeon and knew what I was going through. So I typed up my own letter of medical necessity. I had it in printed form and on a jump drive. I even had the receptionist print it on my PCP's letterhead. He could change it if he wanted or just sign the thing. He signed it. It was quicker, less work for him, and it said the things I needed it to say.

Wonderful news ... Congrats to you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!!!!!!

I had the On Q (with out asking for it), but I must move a lot in my sleep since the tubes came out and the medicine was leaking all over my hospital gown. It was removed and I could tell no difference at all. I had no pain before and none after the On Q was removed.

Wonderful post!

He might be feeling neglected if you spend a lot of time on the forums. This site is somewhat addictive.

My hospital ride was 2 hours to get home on day 2. I slept the whole way with no issue. On day 8, I rode for five hours with no problem at all.

That is fabulous! Keep it up ... you are doing GREAT!
