This is horrible and I am sorry to hear that you had this experience. But you will find nothing but encouragement and support from fellow sleevers in this forum. Take the advice and use all the negative emotions you are currently feeling to get those pounds off and back on track to obtaining your ultimate goals!!. Good luck and God Bless!!

Hello, I am in the Dallas area as well. My surgery is scheduled with Dr. Kim for Oct. 11, 2012. I was looking to be apart of a big support group of pre-op and post-op sleevers in my area. Please friend me and let's share experiences.

Thanks for sharing your results. You look amazing!! You are losing without excess skin and in ask the right spots! Continue along your destiny and us newbees will be working to do the same. Thanks for the motivation I am only 4 weeks post op!

I just went through a 3 week stall Tabs. It was my first one...I had a way bigger BMI than yours.. I just now started back going downward..in fact the scale fluctuated up and down a pound or two for that 3 weeks and I was like.."Wth"...so I kept the course..exercise..eating correctly...and sure enough ...it's coming down again...hang in there...I think it's just the process our bodies have to get through to release the extra weight...very frustrating yea..but it will come off.

charchar, in the beginning I so totally hated this surgery. . was really upset that i had done it. I couldn't eat what i wanted, couldn't drink what i wanted. . . man, i couldn't eat like a gorilla at holiday time anymore. . ugh why did i do it!!! Why? because i looked like a gorilla and was fed up with it. . . then reality set in, i couldn't undo what i had done, so the next best thing to do was to except what i had done. . .3 plus years later I am so happy I did this surgery, I can eat whatever I want and the best thing is over the years i have learned what is a "normal" portion and what doesn't agree with me and what does. I've learned to eat, sip, and enjoy life like a lady and am loving myself for once in my life. I don't look like model material, but then that wasn't the goal. . I am HEALTHY and look the part. My labs are perfect for once in my life and for once in my life I like who looks back at me in the mirror. Don't worry, it gets better and girl once it does WHOA NELLY life gets good!

This a been a wonderful ride thus far...it has been amazing to read ask the post from preop to postop. I have been approved and knowing my surgery date since July 30, and I never thought Oct would come fast enough...
I have 3 more days and a wake up before I lose 75% of my tummy (good bye and good riddens)..Good luck to all of my sista's before and after me! My prayers are with us all in the past, present and future...

Best of luck to all the sleevers coming up this week. Mine is Thursday! May you all have a speedy and easy recovery. God bless and my prayers are with you all!

I'm really feeling it today... I went to Walmart and I purchased my medications:
Children tylenol, GasX strips, pepcids, hall's cough drops with Vitamin Cc listerine strips, chapstick, and filled my prescription for B12 nasal drops and most important "the codine."
I also purchased my Ninja blender, food scale, lil graduates plates, fork, and spoon set, broth, s/f puddings to add to Protein Powder, propel zero, and Isopure RTD for the next 11 days....
I hope I did not forget anything!!! If I did someone please chime in...

I so feel your symptoms..dry mouth and wanting to get back to real good. I'm on day 9 of 15!!

Done did it! Surgery done at 10. Had to stay in RR until 2 due to a bed shortage. I am in my room now, been sleeping since I got here. The Roxicat knocks me on my butt. Pain is ok. Just in upper left abdomen. Feels Like the stitches pain you get after running fast. Drinking 30 cc Water every 15 minutes while awake. No nausea at all. Exvept for the being so sleepy and the tolerable pain, i feel pretty good. So far so good !

Things went well, Im on pain pump with leg massagers to prevent clots. I have a terrible headache, but otherwise Im ok. Moving to bathroom ok and took short walk down the hall. One of my nurses had this procedure last year and she looks great. Gave me some good tips. Glad all of my Octosleevers and sleeve sisters have checked in are doing well.

Newbie as well,
I am so excited about the journey. I am scheduled for October 11, 2012. I look seeking to surround myself with preop and postop AA in the DFW area? Please add me as a friend and send a shout out my way.. I need all the support I can get..
