it does gurgle up my throat. my digestive system is rarely quiet and i am two weeks post-op. don't be paranoid. i am sure it will become our new "normal".

may i ask what a normal day of food intake entails for you? thanks.

a forty pound loss is amazing. the fact that you have decided you need another tool to continue in this journey is admirable. i would only tell people that are going to support you. as far as anyone else is concerned, the weight loss that will continue will be from using weight loss tools. this journye is yours and only yours. enjoy.

wondering what % of sleeve patient's stomachs have been removed. my doctor said he removes 85-90 percent. normal?

thank you so much for all your information. much appreciated.

thanks for sharing. days away from surgery and this amazing story was exactly what i needed to see. congrats on all the hard work.

my surgery is three days away! i am extremely nervous and cautiously excited. house is organized and spotless. yard has never looked so manicured. i feel like i am preparing my home for a new baby. i will be bringing home a new member to my family after the surgery-ME.

you can. first two days suck. after that it is fine. i am six days in to my liquid diet. can't believe my surgery is so close! i am sure you are excited/nervous. good luck!

hello everyone, for those of you that have already had the procedure did you find it helpful to have someone stay at the hospital with you overnight or was it okay being left alone for the night? any ideas will help. thank you for your time.

hello, first, i would like to thank all those who share their stories. i have been able to find so much information and have had many questions answered. my surgery is 23 days away and i am starting to get really nervous. i have been in this process for a while and i am sure it is the right step for me. now that it is finally "real" with the surgery scheduled, i am experiencing anxiety. does anyone have any tips or words of wisdom to lessen the pre-surgery anxiety? thank you.

thank you everyone. i will just take lots of deep breaths.
