Who else is invited to Kaiser Richmond Bariatrics Dept. on February 11th?

I hear its a costume party.

I'm only a month out, so I haven't had hair fall out yet. But when it does happen I'm hoping it all comes from my back.

Donebare, you're doing great on losing the weight. GREAT JOB> How does it feel being sleeved?

Cookie, thinking of you today and hope your surgery goes well tomorrow. Hugs

Hi Hi Lisa Lisa,

To get sleeved, I was in the hospital for 2 nights & 3 days. I felt weak, very nauseous, and slept the whole time I was there. My surgeon almost made me stay another day because I developed a fever during the 2nd night.

On the third day I was almost feeling completely normal. I had no nausea, a little stomach pain, and slight incision tenderness. After two days at home I stopped taking the liquid pain medication. I went back to work 1 week after surgery.

Because I was feeling so great- and because I'm just a dumb guy, I decided to break the liquid diet. I experimented 3 times. I once tried scrambled eggs. I once tried a bite of toast. I once tried a small piece of chicken from a friend's lunch. Needless to say I threw-up 3 times.

Today I start stage 3 foods. Do you know where I can get a food processor that will acommodate a large King Arthur Supreme from Round Table?

I am happy that I got sleeved and have no regrets.

Talk to you soon,

Don

Just looking to start a new thread or meet some NEW people that have had Kaiser sleeve surgery or are going to have sleeve surgery soon. I am Chrissy I live In Sacramento. I was JUST sleeved on June 16, 2010! I was sleeved at Kaiser Richmond by Dr. Im. Looking for new people, Fun, Friends, new issues, recipes, suggestions, or just to talk!

I'd like to be your friend, Chrissy!

That's so funny.... I did ask my doctor that question. He said absolutely no stomach souvenirs, stomach key chains, or stomach snow globes.

After surgery the stomach goes to pathology. I even asked him how does my big football stomach fit through the tiny incisions.
