Again Kendra, if you are lucky like me lol, you won't have the hassle to deal with. I started my process around my bday in July and had my surgery sept 14. I didn't have to contact my insurance, no requirement, no preop diet, I was breezing thru the whole thing. I only got my surgery 2 months later just because I wanted my black surgeon and he was all book. I don't post much just becoz I can't relate to a lot of thing but I can tell you this: it is the best thing you can do for yourself

Funny how I have been battling that bacteria since I was in H.S , however when it's time for my surgery , sucker wasn't there., after surgery, boom there it is! Got some antibiotic by the GI doc but my surgeon discontinue them 4 days later, retested: gone! I am starting to believe that I am made for that sleeve! Lol, stayed 2 days in the hosp, no pain, back to work by day 5, size 6 in 8 months, no excess skin, I still have my shape unlike others. My only side effect so to speak are deflated boobs, again I went from 40 dd to 36 d. I am the perfect specimen, yes I said SPECIMEN !

Which is why I don't tell nobody about my surgery including my family. I don't need their drama or bully!

I can relate girl, my brother is a pig, eats whatever whenever and we both were athlete but guess what, he stays slim while I was exploding like a balloon but hey no more I am killing it

I took 5 days off from work, with a baby, it's can be harder for you. Main thing I would suggest is not to lift anything over 20-25 lbs, walk around as much as you can!

Hun don't back out, right now I am flaunting my sexy ass on the beach to top it off I drove my car wearing only my two pieces with my windows down on palm beach!

What a great feeling, hopefully y'all get your turn soonn

Heyyyyyyuuu, I wore a two pieces swimsuit and show off that bod on fb, yeah baby

Glad you are ok, and so sorry for all your pain. Look on the bright side, skinny here you are around the corner! Good luck

You will do fine, stay positive , let God takes the wheel and watch his power. Good luck!

Devon, we tend to have gallbladder issues after surgery therefore it becomes one of the criteria to be scan before the procedure, hey I got no gallbladder so I didn't do the scan. I would have take you if you were in Boston

I had my hair loss around 6 or 7 months but I add biotin to my vitamin and my hair comes back stronger and thicker. I have bicep thanx to those ghetto hair I have now....lol

We can't tell you what kind of protein to drink as everyone bud tastes does change after surgery, your best bet is to go with sample and pick one that suits you the best. I too use fusion and sometimes "well alive " honey you will lose your hair and you need biotin now. Fusion vit is ok but lack of biotin so alternate both.

Don't forget to get out of bed as soon as they told you, I know if I was your nurse I would have get you moving ASAP too. Even with pain , do your best, it speeds recovery, prevent bloot clots. Very important! I am positive you are going to be fine, you are making the right decision.

You can do it nettle, focus and want it badly,go nettle you can do it, that's me singing to you!... Lol

Total 80 lbs and faithful user of st yves lotion, the cocoa butter version on my belly and all. My boss calls me skinny nurse, great ring to ears. I am now doing wt lifting 3x weekly. Don't get crazy with the scale and for me, I got 6 scars on my belly which I refuse to even consider burning or else. My reminder to be healthy and sexyyy

Lol, I got a colonoscopy and yes you don't have to drink the whole thing or you can do it for a whole day. The point is to clean you out, litteraly

I had my surgery on sept, 2011. No pain at all but hey I wanted to see what was all the hype about morphine so I ask for some... Lol. I took 5 days off from work, no issue at all besides the vomiting coz I am a fast eater so it takes quite a while for me to slow down. I am at goal and look so sexy in my size 6 now. And no loose skin thx Lord, my stretch marks well I can deal. Good luck on your journey!

I am a nurse and I took five days off

Slow is good, it gives your body a chance to catch you and your skin to snap back. I lost 60 lbs over nine months and all I got is my stretch mark being more shiny. Be happy that y'all are slow losers.

Perfect BMI and loving it

Hello, I lost 60 lbs over a period of nine months and I like being a slow loser coz I can tell you this, my skin snap back nicely, I don't go crazy with the scale. I eat everything but moderation and slowly, twice a week Zumba for two hrs, lots of protein

i was told my doctor to do white wine and i did at 3 months, no side effect besides getting drunk faster

with that wt loss, do you happen to have some serious excess skin, if not, what do you do?

hi, i am nadoue and haitian. i have my sleeve done on sept 14, i would like to chat with some haitians as well due to the fact our culinary taste are quite different and need to know how they are adjusting!
