Hello, For the past 2 days i have been experiencing dizziness and lightheadedness.When i woke up this morning i almost fainted... Before i freak out and go pay $200 for a doctors visit i thought it might be wise to see if it could be related to my sleeve, Im 6 months out and have been loosing steadily for the most part. I was naughty on monday and ate some junk food with my bestie (which is very rare) but today is friday... maybe im low on something nutritional?? Id appreciate any advice or ideas! Thanx Shelly

Lookin forward to a less sticky New Orleans!!!!!

OMG! I'm so happy this is normal. Lol I've been so scared thinking I'm gonna die!! I felt great last week but I'm guessing it's the anemia that has me so down. I have a client who is a gyn I think I'm gonna ask her for advice, and possibly a b12 shot!! Thank you all so much for sharing! You are all a blessing!!!

Hello, I was sleeved 13 days ago, I'm down 20 lbs -- but I have now had my period for 11 days?!?! For the past 3 or 4 days I have been freezing cold constantly (it's been beautiful 70 degrees here in New Orleans ) I have also been so weak and tired. Just wondering if anyone else has had this post op?? Ps. I've been doing fairly well with my nutrition so I think it's more period related.

I was just sleeved this past Monday 1/16/12 by Dr. Borland of New Iberia. I have to say that I can’t imagine this being more perfect! The reason I decided to check him out was because of the price, you can’t beat $9800 – once I met Dr. Borland and his staff I was sure this was the doctor for me. The reason the price is so low is not because he skimps on quality, if anything the quality of care is far better than any big hospital experience I have had (where you are treated like a number) Dr. Borland’s prices are low because he truly wants to help people. When you pay the $9800 they ask that you have cashier’s checks made out to everyone involved, i.e.: Dr. Borland $3000 hospital $5000 anesthesiologist $800… and so on. I like that because it’s very up front. Another reason that I choose Dr. Borland is because he does it out-patient! I HATE staying in the hospital!! I understand if you are higher risk maybe it has to be done. However for me I felt just fine just hours after the surgery and was happy to go back to my hotel room in New Iberia! Dr. Borland visited me every evening and his staff called several times to check up on me. I’m still stunned that he gives his patients his home phone number, but that’s just the kind of person he is! Dr. Borland gave me a simple 24 hour pre-op diet, which is pretty nice as I can’t imagine how hard it must be to starve oneself for weeks. My post-op diet has been pretty simple as well. This week has been just liquids and Jello. Thankfully I don’t really feel hungry so that has been just fine. I do have some gas pains which I hear are to be expected. I’m egger to start my transitions to normal foods and I’m happy Dr. Borland isn’t extremely strict about time. He allows his patients to use good judgment. I can imagine there are people out there who have dysfunctional relationships with food, and could hurt themselves by force feeding, however I think most people have more sense than to do so. I am now 6 days out and I have lost 13lbs, and I feel amazing… I can actually put my socks on better today than I could just one week ago before surgery… I am so happy that I didn’t chicken out! The morning of surgery I was a nervous wreck, and scared out of my box – but I’m so glad I stuck with it!! I see Dr. Borland again tomorrow for my one week follow up,*** Come on 15lbs!!***

I just had my surgery Monday. I know every dr is different but my doc just had me fast the day before and do a cleanse with magnesium citrate (which is awful) but my surgery went beautifully. I feel great only 4 days out other than some gas pains. I paid cash. I kinda feel like a bunch if that **** they make you do is for insurance. But when you just fork over 14000.00 cash its kinda straight forward. Just do your thing girl. Do your very best and worst come to worst fast and flush!

I'm so excited to know some people before going!! I think it's the only thing keeping me from being scared witless!!

I'm still going. I know it's frightening but I'm just not going to bring much with me. No cash or valuables. Which sucks because my engagement ring never comes off but I guess I have no choice.

Yay!! Nicole where ya from??

I'm the 19th!!! I'll prob see ya at the recovery house.

Wow. Nice to hear someone else did the e ciggy! This is the end of day 2 and I'm doing ok. Carl on the other hand is on his day one and having it a bit rough. I hope tomorrow will be easier for him too!!! I have been having the munchies. But I have plenty fresh fruits and vegies to snack on!!
