Wow! Congrats in ur success!! I hope to be a successful as you have been. I too am a shortie - so hope to make it to where you are!! You r looking HOT! Congrats again

I have an IUD and usually don't have my period, but I sure did this month - I thought it to be strange that I was having one but seeing that others have been affected in different ways I feel better.

Thanks! I'm really wanting meat but super scared. When I went to my post op appt the doc told me that I was doing well n could eat anything my stomach could handle but to stay clear of meats for awhile as it will hurt - so I've been scared to try.

I have certainly been there!

Hey all!! Surgery date 10/29 Hw 265 Sw 249.9 Cw 236.2 Loving my sleeve but dreading the three week stall!

Thanks for your response and congrats on ur weight loss so far!! I'm down 20 lbs but I won't even be 5 wks out at that point - that's ok - it's worth not having it for the long run!

So I'm curious - I'm just shy of three weeks post op and am doing great. I'm looking forward to a mini Thanksgiving meal but have one question .... How far out from surgery were u able to have meat? I'm not sure I will have a traditional meal w a small slice of turkey n certainly don't want to try n later experience pain - so any insight would b greatly appreciated

Well said Laura! I agree completely w/ everything you said and experienced the exact same feelings!

Dang girl! U both r hotties!! I hope to do as well as the two of u u will have to share all the secrets!!

I'm 33 n 5'3ish Surgery on 10/29 HW 265 SW 249 CW 242 (weighed myself on 11/2) Can't wait for my post op appt tomorrow

Eek u know what I didn't even ask my doc. Great question lady glory!

I'm one week post op and I enjoyed it. My husband was worried he was going to hurt me so we made sure he was gentle as I'm still healing - but I had a good experience n no pain - sorry to hear u r having the painful experience.

I think u r inspiring! You look gorgeous!! Great results - great hubby - I'm positive you will make goal

You look beautiful! I can tell a difference - great job so far - the thanksgiving challenge will help but u r well on ur way

Nice - I was sleeved then too - hope I have similar results!!

Well done!

I called the doc n was told to wear it for one week.

I am in the same boat - no pain and no issues - I so bad want to take it off because its a bit annoying but if I have to keep it on I will. Maybe I should call to find out.

Yep that's what I mean - and ok I will plan on that - sometimes not the most comfortable thing u know lol

Question - how long do we keep these binders on?

Thanks all for the feedback on bowel movements - I had one today and felt great- I'm sure that's TMI but I was happy I didn't need to take anything to help alleviate it.

I'm feeling good thanks! I have been trying to stay hydrated - that's probably been the toughest thing. I'm surprised that I have little pain - not much gas pain either. I haven't used pain meds since the hospital. How r u doing?
