I was sleeved with dr Monash ! Love him and love my sleeve

Thank you ALL!!

So I need some help! I was sleeved April 10, 2012. & have lost 32lbs. Well, prior to surgery my primary care physician referred me to an endocrinogist to help monitor my diabetes and pcos: Has anyone seen and Endo ? Or anything? I kinda feel disappointed thinking the doctor would not recommend surgery being they are a specialist and that they really spend time medicating or finding other activities .

I'm 2 months out and craved a Pepsi. Finally gave in with one with lots of ice. Be ready to be uncomfortable and burpy. I know I'll get a slap on my hand for doing this but I had to

Thank you all

The last 2 days I've been nauseas, dry heaving, diarrhea ( sorry TMI). I dont know if it's my sleeve or the stomach flu? I also have had on and off pain on my left side that travels to middle. ( kinda pulsing pain) It goes away and comes back? The day it started I ate half an egg, 1 slice bacon and 2 bites of hash brown, at lunch I had a cup of clam chowder. When I had lunch I was feeling nauseas and thought I had to eat. I was waking up in goose bumps and sweat running to the bathroom. I was sleeved 4/10 (6 weeks) Anyone had this? I'm miserable and today I'm slowly eating...but I did have a couple sips of seven up.

I had the same feeling and my doctor said he put a deep suture through my muscle. He said it takes 3 months to recover. He said that is we're they go in and cut through a huge muscle, so they put a deep suture in. I was sleeved 4/10, I'm 6 weeks

Wow you're doing better than me and I was sleeved 4/10...I'm only down 24 lbs , what are you doing other than waking up so early and working out. I fluctuate on working out so I have to get better at that !

My dr was Dr Monash, his team has been wonderful! I was sleeved 4/10/12 and although I am still recovering, making lifestyle changes and trying to figure out my true size of stomach I wouldn't have changed anything. My friend had Dr Galvin and heard he was good too. Dr Monash speaks to me personally anytime I have a question and is always there to talk without feeling rushed.

I feel the same way. I was sleeved 4/10 lost 22lbs. Today was my sons birthday and I can't have soda , can't have hamburger party, can't have cake, can't have dip. I sipped water and ate 4-5 bites of hamburger meet. Everyone was complimenting of this or that food...well could get in those conversations because I don't know. I had many compliments on my weight and how smaller I look. BUT I miss food, and not loads but just eat a half plate! Why?! Did I do this to myself? Was it to have people compliment me or to eat portional and be happy about it? To be healthy? Seemed like neither is the right answer. Help me understand?!?!?!

My friend who had this surgery figured out that she was in her relationship because she had found someone to give her attention she never had because she was overweight. She had this surgery and lost the weight realizing the attention she was cherishing over the years was not the loving, patient and respectable kind. She had to leave the relationship. I guess what I'm saying is the weight came off to help show her she is worth more big or small, and it was realized after her weight decreased. Not sure if this helps. Just thought I would share. I'm 2 weeks out and my husband has been supportive. I just hope our relationships doesn't change.

My incisions have pink puffiness aroun the incision and is itching. I'm 2 weeks post op

I need help! Mornings are getting better for me at least to not be so tired even after sleeping 8 -10 hours but now I can't start my protein or food. I just am not interested and not wanting anything but water. Isn't breakfast the most important meal of the day?? I'm 2 weeks, tried yogurt yuck, protein shake yuck, don't know what? I used to love having fried bologna and scrambled eggs. I don't know- about lunch time I get my protein in 60g at least. Help?! Need ideas

I'll have to ask him at my next appointment. My husband even heard what he said. 4 cups per serving. Either way I wanted to know how a 32 size differs from 40???

I aM confused my doctor said he uses a 40 on all patience. I've had my surgery but was talking to my friend who had hers done a year ago and she is eating 4oz per serving. I'm freaked out because she doesnt know her size and my doctor said I would be able to eat 1/3cup at first and it can stretch up to 4 cups. Now 4 cups per serving is a lot to me. I just don't know if eating 4 oz is enough for your body??? I'm confused and not wanting to eat like a bird forever. Yes portion control and better choices was what I signed up for.

I was sleeved 4/10 and I thought I was feeling a lot better. Yesterday I got out of the house and ran errands. Felt good, slept 8 hours and felt like crap today. Barely sipping and dry heaves. Can't get my energy up. Today is one week, don't know if I need additional vitamin or something. Anyone have this? Protein first then water? I dry heave and I feel like I am back on day 4....

I can't relate, but as I read this I realized how you have great doctors looking after you. Trust them and hopefully your body will follow. Remember you got sleeved to be healthy and it probably put your body in shock. This will get figured out...I will pray for good outcomes and or you not to pass out.

Was sleeved April 10th and I'm days into this. I have to admit it feels like eternity. Hard to drink hard to feel well. I feel a little depressed and have to kick my mind out of it. How long does it to take to feel like YOU again??? I have doubts and I don't want to live with regrets...food or no food
