WOW!!! YOU LOOK AWESOME!!! THANKS FOR SHARING, IM ALMOST 8MOS OUT AND STILL NOT AT GOAL, I NEEDED THE ENCOURAGEMENT!!!

YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!!

Congrats!!

I CAN'T EAT AND DRINK AT THE SAME TIME EVEN IF I WANTED TO. ITS A PAINFUL STUCK FEELING SO I JUST DON'T DO IT. I'M GETTING USED TO EATING FIRST AND WAITING AROUND 45MIN THEN DRINKING. I WAS SLEEVED 12/20/11

WOW!!!! AWESOME JOB!!!

U LOOK AMAZING!!! GREAT JOB!!!

I'VE BEEN ON ORAL BC BEFORE AND AFTER SURGERY. MY DOC TOLD ME TO STOP FOR 2 WEEKS AFTER SURGERY TO REDUCE THE CHANCE OF BLOOD CLOTS.

MY FIRST VISIT WAS AT A DOCTORS OFFICE THAT ONLY DID THE LAPBAND, BUT I DECIDED TO CALL ANOTHER DOCTOR, AND THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH ASKED ME IF I WANTED THE SLEEVE, I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE SLEEVE. SHE SAID I SHOULD DO SOME RESEARCH ON IT BEFORE I CAME IN BECAUSE SHE SAID SHE HAD THE LAPBAND REMOVED AND GOT THE SLEEVE AND SAID IT WAS SOOO MUCH BETTER. I'M SO GLAD I TALKED WITH HER BECAUSE I RESEARCHED AND WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE SLEEVE! I WOULD HATE TO GO GET FILLS WITH THE LAPBAND, AND I THINK MY BMI WASN'T HIGH ENOUGH FOR GASTRIC.

SAME HERE ,I WAS SLEEVED 12/20/11 I DIDNT HAVE ANY COMPLICATIONS, I CAN EAT ANY FOODS I WANT AND THEY ALL TASTE THE SAME AS BEFORE. THE WEIGHT LOSE HAS SLOWED DOWN ALOT BUT IM STILL LOSING.

I WISH I HAD THE COURAGE TO TELL PEOPLE I HAD SURGERY! I'M STILL LOSING AND MAYBE IN A YEAR I WILL HAVE THE CONFIDENCE AND COURAGE TO HELP SOMEONE!

I DON'T THINK SO,THEY GAVE ME LEMON JUICE PACKETS IN THE HOSPITAL TO FLAVOR MY WATER.

YES MY PERIODS ARE HEAVIER AFTER SURGERY BUT THE CRAMPS ARE THE SAME. I HAD TO STOP MY BCP TWO WEEKS AFTER SURGERY SO I BLEED ALOT RIGHT AFTER, BUT I'M BACK ON THEM AND MY CYCLE IS HEAVIER, I WAS TOLD NO ALEVE BECAUSE OF ULCERS AND TYLENOL SUCKS.

I ALSO USE TO THINK MY BMI WAS TOO LOW FOR WLS, BUT AFTER FAILED ATTEMPS AND GAINING MORE AND MORE WEIGHT I KNEW IT WAS A GREAT CHOICE FOR ME. I WAS SLEEVED 12/20/11 AND I AM DOING FINE LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF MY SLEEVE!!!! I TOLD NONE! OF MY FRIENDS OR FAMILY EXCEPT MY SISTER SHE WAS MY SUPPORT. I TELL EVERYONE I'M EATING RIGHT AND EXERCISING WHICH I AM SO DON'T BE CONCERNED WITH OTHERS MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION FOR YOU

AMEN!!!! U LOOK AWESOME!!!!

WOW!!!! U LOOK GREAT!!!!! LOVE THE DRESS!!!

I WAS SLEEVED ON 12/20/11, AT FIRST I DID FEEL A STUCK FEELING WHEN I ATE, BUT NOW WHEN I EAT I FEEL FULL AND SATISFIED FOR A WHILE AT LEAST 3HRS

I WAS SLEEVED 12/20/11, AND I'VE STARTED EXERCISING WITH NO PROBLEMS. IS IT STILL POSSIBLE TO GET A LEAK THIS FAR OUT?

I STARTED OUT WITH POWDERED NEXIUM(TOO EXPENSIVE) AFTER SURGERY. THEN SWITCHED BACK TO PRESCRIPTION OMEPRAZOLE 20MG CAPS. I TOOK THOSE PRE-SURGERY, AND THEY STILL WORK JUST FINE.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING. IT LETS ME KNOW I MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE AND I CAN KEEP THE WEIGHT OFF LONG TERM!

I SLEPT ON MY STOMACH THE FIRST NIGHT IN THE HOSPITAL. IT WAS THE ONLY WAY I FELT COMFORT. I ONLY HAVE ON INCISION ON MY NAVEL AND THEY USED GLUE. THE NURSE CAME IN AND SAID OH NO DONT DO THAT BUT FELT FINE. WHEN MY DOC CAME IN I TOLD HIM I SLEPT ON MY STOMACH, HE EXAMINED MY STOMACH AND SAID IT WAS OK TO DO SO. THATS THE ONLY WAY I HAVE EVER BEEN ABLE TO SLEEP.

LOL!!!! MY FAMILY LOVES PARTIES FOOD AND INSULTS TOO!!!!

WOW! AWESOME JOB!! U LOOK BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

I FEEL SOOO BLESSED!!! I WAS SLEEVED 12/20/11. I'VE HAD NO PROBLEMS AND I FEEL GREAT. I DO PRAY FOR OTHERS ON THIS SITE WHO ARE HAVING PROBLEMS CAUSE I KNOW IT COULD'VE BEEN ME, BUT HOPEFULLY IN TIME THEY WILL BE FEELING GREAT TOO! SO DON'T FEEL GUILTY

WOW!!! U LOOK AMESOME!!!! GOOD JOB!!!

CONGRATS!!!! BEST SAID "NOT EASY, BUT WORTH IT!!!!!!"
