100%Sleeved

Hello, I was sleeved 1 wk ago today and I'm still on liquids. I'm still a little dizzy but I've gotten use to it. I triied an optifast today because I could not take the broth any longer. It gave me more gas but I'm fine. I'm a realtor and I work from home. You can always chat with me and I'm 41.

You will be fine. Since my surgery a week ago, I've seen every doctor but mine. He sent others in his place everyday and also his arnp saw me daily. I only saw him once for 30 seconds lol.

BTW, how do I get my weightloss ticker to show up? It shows in my signature but not in my posts. I know this is off topic but I've been trying to figure this out.

Wonderful! It will help. Don't work too hard and Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through. It does not seem normal to be losing blood daily. I had my surgery 1 wk ago today. I'm not having any draining problems but they did want to transfuse me a couple of days later because I lost blood during surgery but I refused and got the iron infusion instead. Please let me know how this goes and I pray things get better for you. Stay encouraged and take it easy.

I got it thanks a million!

Thanks Shae. How do I get it to show up when I post? I did a few test post but nothing showed. Do you copy the bbcode, html or ezcode?

I think I figured it out. I went to a website called www.weight-loss-center.net I created the ticker but now I don't know where to paste the code lol

This is a good post and answers a lot of questions I was having. I'm a week out today and every since I came home from the hospital Sat. I've been coughing. In the hospital they were giving me protonix. I will ask for some and see if this helps. Thanks again for the post and let us know if your coughing gets better..

Wow that sucks. I hope I don't have that problem because I spent 4 nights in the hospital.

I LOVE this tread! Hi all I was sleeved on 11/15/11 I will be 1 wk out tomorrow. The gas is gone. I was almost banded on 11/10/11 but God stepped in just in time. On my 9th day of pre-op I received a call from the doctor's office stating my insurance will not cover the hospital because it was not a center of excellence. I was scrambling at the last minute because I was previously told it was approved. Anyway after finding another surgeon and going to his seminar, I saw he did all 3 surgeries as my lapband doc only did lapbands and I had no other option. The new surgeon had options and when I saw the sleeve it was a no brainer. I called my insurance company and they approved me for the sleeve within 5 minutes(I was already approved for the lap band). So I realized that God's will is what's best for me. Had my lapband doctor's insurance verification rep not slipped up with the insurance, I would have been banded and not known about the sleeve. Glory Be To God Almighty for this change. Thank you again for starting this post. I will keep yall updated as I continue my journey.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this blog. I've been lurking and made my 1st entry the other day because I was sleeved Tuesday Nov. 15th. My question is, how do you add the weight tickers to your profile? I think those are great!

I'm having the same problem. I was sleeved on Tuesday. I hope we can find relief.

Thank you. Do you know which one is not a prescription? I'm having gas and hunger pangs on an all liquid diet.

Hi everyone. I'm brand new to the forum and was just sleeved this past Tuesday. I just got home from the hospital today. I was going to be banded last Thursday but on my 9th day of my preop diet I got a call from my Dr Office stating the insurance would not cover the hospital because it was not a center of excellence. I had to scramble at the last minute to find a doctor who did surgeries at this type of hospital and I went to his seminar and saw he did the sleeve as well as the band. I realized with this change I had options. So I opted for the sleeve instead. I keep seeing on different posts about how one gets help from a PPI. Sorry I don't have a clue what this is. Can someone please enlighten me on this matter.. Thanks in advance
