I'm still pre-op so I'm not sure and I noticed that your surgeon was Dr. Kim, I heard he is really great but that he gives the lowest amount of pain meds. Feel better soon

I'm soo sorry you are going through this! I really hope something good does come out of this. I don't know if this really matters to you but you are a great writer and had me captivated. Then I realize it is a true story and you are real and you are hurting :'( If you dont mind me asking. Where did you get your surgery done and by who? Was it at a center of excellence? I'm still pre-op but stories like yours keep me level headed and remind me that this is a tool not magic. And it is a very serious surgery that shouldn't be taken lightly. I hope you feel better and I'm keeping you in my prayers

I'm sooo sorry that you were in pain! How are you doing today? Are you sipping/walking, have a heat pad on your stomach or a pillow? I hope you recover quick.

Happy Birthday! May you have many more! And as a skinny loser

So unprofessional I'm sorry you had to deal with such indiscreet people.

You look so good at your not even at goal! I'm soooo happy for ya!!

Lol your friends are crazy! I hope your surgery goes well and your recovery as wel!

I'm sorry about that episode you experienced, and I was thinking maybe you could find a support group in the city you reside in? The more support the better. hope you are feeling better!

Good luck

I understand people can be ignorant.. I remember a "friend" of mine in high school would shake my legs and call them "jello legs" need less to say we haven't talked in 4 years. That's the past and soon I will be a healthier me and make sure I'm a good person and always show kindness especially to those who didn't show me any.

Maybe it's heartburn? I read about that all the time.

Do what makes you comfortable you need to focus on healing. But I wouldn't use the gallbladder story because it is a possibility with this surgery. I haven't had the surgery yet so I'm not sure what my answer will be. Good luck and don't let negative people ruin this for you

I'm 5'7" and my personal goal would be in the 140's but I'm wouldnt mind being in the 160's. I'm 20 almost 21 and I like to be a size 9 but really I just want to get healthy and stay away from diabetes and heart disease oh im not sleeved yet, still dealing with insurance and supervised weightloss.

That is freaking awesome!! I can't wait until I'm not embarrassed about my wt.

Kaykay20, I hope you feel better ASAP!

When I first saw the rant board I was like oh nooooooooo! But I guess it's ok if people can remain civil

Thanks for all the responses I should stop freaking myself out. I'm hoping I don't have any complications but that's a whole other can of worms haha thank you again everyone

@Sunnybyrd, I hope your recovery goes well, Im going to add walking to my list of post op tips I hear all the time so hopefully I will make myself do it.

@kittenkate, you sound tough haha I hope I only need one shot of morphine. I'm happy to hear the pain was minimal for you.

@Gene1970, thank you, very informative and helpful

@CAsleeve, thank you I need to start compiling a list of things that will make post op a little more bearable.

That's great! I'm not sleeved yet but I've been on this site for a few months. It is great. Very resourceful and so many kind people

Hello I just wanted to know what to expect. I hear gas pains are the worse but what does it feel like? And how did your stomach area feel? Do not sugar coat anything please lol I just want to know ( I think ) and when did all the pain go away? I understand everyone is different so all input would be appreciated. Thank you

I only told a few family members and I was pretty sure some were going freak out but surprisingly no hey at least you have the people on here for support

I turn 21 in Oct and that's when my insurance can give me info about surgeons and all that good stuff. So October is a big month for me too Im 3 months into my 6 months of supervised weightloss and I'm going to schedule a psych eval soon hope eveythings smooth sailing for us
