Yes- just last week a guy came up to talk to my hubby and I in the park- he mentioned how nice it was for me to be there walking with my DAD! Lmao! To his defense I dont wear my wedding ring right now because it's a size 9.5 and now I wear a size 6.5- but still! It was so funny- How Much Have U Lost Since You Were Sleeved?

Yea- I'm short- and round like a ball!- May Sleevers
Sleeved May 15- so two weeks in front - have lost 62 lbs so far- only 4 pre op. Having the same chewing, quick eating, and protien issues as many. I don't think I have ever once hit the goals- but I do the best I can every day without over stuffing myself. There must be something right. 250 day if surgery- today 192.- Early Soft Foods

Sleeved 5/15/12 weighed 250 day of surgery Last weigh in- down 60 lbs. Size 24- now 14- Body Piercing-Surgery Question
When I had my surgery, I wore my upper and lower retainers. Hell I just spent 6000 on braces and had them in for 4 years, I wasn't about to have something get chipped or a tooth come out! I just put them in right before I went in, and had them in when I woke up, and gave them to my husband. They never said anything about them, and I was also one of the only people that didn't have a sore throat from the tube down my throat! :-)- Just Curious...?

I put mine back in the next day- hubby did it for me.- Body Piercing-Surgery Question
I was nervous about this also- The day of surgery I took out my navel piercing but that was all. I have other piercings- and those were not taken out- and no one asked or requested I take them out. One day after surgery my husband replaced my belly ring with just a curved bar- and everything ended up fine. I had my VSG in Mexico- May 15, 2012- I Messed Up! :(

Omg - me too - and bragging because they could tolerate a half of a McDonalds cheeseburger- or a kids corn dog sat well- or was able to keep down a diet coke with no issues- WHY have your gut cut out if that's your goal in life- to eat crap forever?!?!- Oh Diet Coke, How I've Missed Thee...
