They said everything looked fine. I was dehydrated.. And my urine came back that I have bacteria and my white blood cells were high..I don't have a uti either. But the doctor didn't even no what the "Sleeve" was I had to explain it to him...so did he even know what to look for??

Omg. I wasn't feeling better for bout 8 days after surgery....I just wanted to sleep..I was in pain...I honestly don't think you'd feel up to it..but yet again everyone is different. Just don't over do it.

My Surgery was October 9th 2012...my highest weight was 300...day of surgery I was 267...I'm now 198...so I've lost a 102lbs...70 from surgery,33 from pre-op. So I know I'm only 6 months post op..but with my loosing 102 lbs already..I gotta start researching the skin removal. I still have at least 48 lbs to go..but I need to make sure I can do it. I read that most insurance companies don't pay for it...but I also heard they will pay for it if there's a medical reason. Which im only looking at getting my stomach done...I get rashes...I lost most weight in my stomach. My face too but that went back to normal!!! Im gonna talk to my new doctor and see and hopefully the insurance will pay for it. Also I read that u have to wait 2 years before you get it to make sure your not loosing more weight. What if I'm done way before that!?!? Can I get it before!

Yes. They are completely normal...I've had ton of stalls. I've had some from 3 weeks to 2 months. Don't be discouraged...its just ur body catching up. I patiently waited and I've made it under 200 now...but I had to be patient...you'll get there....

So I have great news!!! I've cracked 2 goals today!!!! First I've lost a total of 102 lbs!!!! And I'm officially our of the 200s I'm 198!!! Thought I'd never see the 1's in my life again!!!!! next goal 180...my target goal is 135-140!!!! Getting closer! [ATTACH]11975[/ATTACH]

Its a great feeling..i started at 300lbd before surgery..I remember being so happy...my surgery was October 9th..ive lost 97lbs so far!!!! its such a great feeling..i went from 3x to M-L shirts to a 24-26 pants to an 18... so excited for you and can not wait for you to cross over!!!

SW: 300 DOS: 267 CW: 212 SURGERY DATE: OCTOBER 9TH 88 pounds down! I was at a stall for like a month but now i seem to lose a pound a day this week! Great thing is my doctor is making me go for a sleep study again due to me losing 88 pounds and that i only had MILD SLEEP APNEA! I'm hoping its gone but that's on march 20th. I WANT TO LOSE THE 12lbs or more by then to get me to 100+ weight loss! I feel great! I'm in a XL shirt some are larges and 18 pants! In the beginning i could est subway and have a hamburger at McDonald's but i can't have any of that now, it makes me sick to my stomach,i don't get the dumping syndrome thank gosh but i consider that to be good keeps me away! So i got some work to do... 100+ here i come!!!!!

does anyone eat BBQ sauce still? If u do what do u use and does it affect u??? My husband won't let me have any cuz all the ones we found are bad..a lot of sugar and high fructose corn syrup...I can go for grilled chicken with BBQ sauce... help!

Has any had to take this after surgery because their bowel movements were irregular??? I just went to the Dr he told me to drink 1/2 the bottle in the afternoon and 1/2 the bottle at supper..then take a tablespoon of miralax in the am and pm everyday!!! Does the mag. Make u go fast??? Sorry tmi

That's what I wanna know..I'm hoping u can mix it with something

Yea I'm trying to get more fiber in me...I do have stool softners...I just don't know how many I can take..it doesn't say on the label...and do they actually work? B4 surgery I went everyday,I think im not use to not going everyday.

This makes me nervous now....I'm taking it because since surgery my bowel movements have been irregular...I go like once every 4-5 days and I get constipated... so they want me to try this I took miralax for my pre op....but I've heard magnisium makes you go..and fast!

My sleeve was 10/9/12 had my gallbladder out 1/10/13....3 months... they are on the right side under ur rib cage and its like a sharp pain....

Does anyone have any Zumba DVDs that they don't want I want to start trying it at home, I don't wanna buy the set if I don't like it or can't do it, so if anyone has any they like to donate please let me know thanks?
