100%Sleeved

Yes it does get better.

mine started the next day but there might be a chance you won't have this problem.

Wow you look really good!

I bought them from my doctor's office, however you can also buy them from Amazon.

I called the ins co on the 10th day but probably was approved on the 7th day because when I called they said my approval was already mailed. I recommend calling them on the 7th day if you have not heard anything yet.

Yes they are filling. I recommend chocolate and vanilla

try doing an all liquid diet from here on out using otifast if you can get it. Some doctors say drink 3 a day and some say 5. I believe the 5 a day have 800 calories. I would not go over that. I hope this helps.

10 days

I ate anything and every junk food that got in my way.

Is the protein clear liquids? I was told to do clear liquids for two weeks then full liquids for two weeks after that. If the protein is a full liquid then that may be the problem. Your stomach needs time to heel. Be sure to let your doc know and see what he says.

Congrats! I'm glad everything went well. Now go and rock that sleeve.

I take centrum chewable, vitafusion multivites and calcium gummies. I also get b12 shots monthly. I used to be chronic anemia and have low b12 now everything is in normal range.

What an awesome nsv! Thanks for sharing.

The best compliment I have gotten is that I have motivated friends to get healthy and have surgery because of how well I'm doing. To me this far exceeds any other compliments I have received.

Initially I wasn't going to tell anyone anything, even my own mother. I have a friend who went to Mexico, got banded and then sent an email blast to everyone telling them she was ok and about her surgery. I thought to myself wow this is wierd and I called her and asked if she really meant to do that and she said yes of course. I asked why would you tell everyone? Do you not feel ashamed? She said no, by doing this I can save a life or help someone. I thought to myself huh well I won't be telling everyone. I had a change of heart and told only friends who are morbidly obese. One friend who is over 400lbs is being banded next month because she does not have the sleeve coverage and another friend is being sleeved on the 20th of this month. Here's what I'm getting to, my friend called me and said I really thank God for you because before you called me, I was lying on the couch dying. If you never would have told me what you did, I would have had no hope. You see her mom had just passed away 5 months ago due to diabetes from being overweight. She was still mourning when I called her to tell her about wls. In this case I don't mind telling others what I did but to the skinny folks I just let them wonder lol. You really have to do what feel confortable for you. For me I see this as an opportunity to save lives. I also have another friend going through the process right now.

I'm sliding over.

Hang in there. You have done a wonderful job so far.

I agree with Puja, I do this when I'm bored and alone. This is one reason I try to keep myself busy with friends. Now that I have a friend who is being sleeved on the 20th and another one being banded next month, I don't have to feel awkward when we hang out.

lol I know. I watched to video on youtube and started bobbing my head. I really wish I was taller. June13sleever you look really good and tall is a good thing.

Looking good!! I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller lol that's a song.

Congrats!!

Good Job!

Congrats and welcome. My advice would be to stock up on your liquids before surgery.

Yes the surgery is done is a very clean hospital according to my friend.

My friend was banded by Dr. Ortiz and she said they really took care of her. I don't know anyone who was sleeved. Also Dr. Grossbard of Tampa was banded by him.
