  1. I had surgey the same day as you and i have lost about the same . I also feel like I cannot eat as much in the morning as I can in the evening .The sleeve is not just what I expected either I think in my mind it was the magic surgery that would make it all better. I am finding out that I still have to work at it but just not as hard as before the surgery. I do still want to eat bad things and head hunger is a real pain in my a$$ but the sleeve is still helping me. I think in my head I like you thought something different but it is what I have and I plan to do my best to make it work for me . I wish you the best.
  2. cute cute cute ...way to go
  3. yea I sort of thought it was maybe part of the healing process and this was my first surgery so I dont know what to expect or look for. I was told to look out for fever and severe pain and the incision but he out side is pretty much closed and now I have noticed it is a little hrder in tha spot and tension when I stretch . Thanks everyone for sharing it makes me feel a little better .
  4. i have a large know under one of the incisions in my stomach from having surgery. It is a little uncomfortable but not really painful and no fever. It feels almost like the muscle is knoted up under my skin. Has anyone else had this problem?
  5. How long after surgery was it discovered? How did you know?
  6. I had my surgery on the 18th with Dr. Kelly would have been great to have you in our group. All the same it will happen for you and I am wishing you all the best. I had to use my taxes along with a loan from my 401k so I know how it is. I hope it happens soon waiting is the worst
  7. I am here in Mexico now and go home tomorrow I can ask for you
  8. Ok so I am here in Mexico and had surgery Friday 2-18. Woke up with the worst pain on my life and don't think my pain was mangaged that well. I did force myself to walk which was good ( I vomited at the nurses station ) but I kept going. I have felt better each day and have been enjoying my stay here. I did book through Sandy but it has been Trish taking us all around . I have not seen as much of her and Dr. Kelly as everyone else says they have but he had a family emergency Saturday. I found his son to be pretty impersonal though but not Dr. Kelly he is sweet. At this point I am noting but pleased with this and would do it all over again in a second. Sandy , Trish & Dr. Kelly have all treated me well. I can only speak for myself but this has been my experience so far .... Keep ya posted
  9. thank you all so much I leave tonight for my surgery tomorrow and it is going to e great and I cant wait all my kids have big weekend plans so it is goingto be fine . I would be lost with out all the support I have found on this site
  10. 2 days from now I will be recovering
  11. This is one of the most informative threads I have read on this site . I have surgery on the 18 th so helpful
  12. I think it is being away from my kids for 5 nights and feeling scared about Mexico. I am a person who just worries so much !!! I never thought I would break down but I have . I cried at the bank today getting the cashiers check lol felt so silly had to let my husband go in while I was in the car. Not to mention I have sucked at my pre- op diet
  13. Ok I have been cool calm and collected all this time and then Saturday I started balling .I know lots of you have been where I am , so how did you get through it ??????
  14. I am scared as well but in my mind I think of what I am having done and it calms me I have seen it on YouTube so many times .
