June 4th, down 25 and two sizes. I can't eat much, get two protein drinks in, maybe two bites of chicken salad or liver saugage. water is hard. think the scale is broken it hasn't moved in a week and 1/2. grrrrrrr... How long did your stall last?

I rode horses as a teenager and recently told my daughter when I get near my goal I want to ride a horse again. that is actually the only thing I want

I'm six weeks out and have been in a stall for 2 1/2 weeks. the inches are coming off but the scale isn't moving. Do I need a new scale?

I had to wait 7 long days

wow.. sorry you got fired but so excited you are focusing on you and changing your life for the better.. good luck!!

I only had to be on liquids the day before surgery and then no liquids after midnight the day of. You will do great.

Had Dr Zalada sleeve me June 4th. He was great during our consult talked into the sleeve instead of the band. Best decision I made.

Congratulations!!! it's going to be so exciting for you to start this journey.. Good Luck!!

That must have been a wonderful moment!!.. I can't wait for that day. Congratulations!!!

Referral from PCP 12 weeks of classes blood tests meet dr same day, met nutritionist, had ekg, more blood work and chest x-ray surgery

Decided to have surgery June 2011. I finished all my classes in December only thing I had to do was the test for H Pylori. Came back positive, did the two weeks of anti-biotics retested a month after that still had it. Two more weeks of stronger anti-biotics another month of waiting. Finally gone. Took one year to get it done but finally did on june 4th. Delays can happen, but it will get done.

I've been reading your posts for a week now and decided to introduce myself. My name is webtrekker and I had my sleeve done June 4th at kaiser in L.A. by Dr. Zelada. I had a two day stay, I couldn't keep the liquid pain meds down. Never could I hate the taste of them. I started out at 280 at the begining of classes and got down to 267 day of surgery. I am now at 243 at one month. My surgery was performed due to me having been in an accident that damaged my back and the weight is putting too much pressure on everything. I have been having issues with the puree'd stage. Nothing will stay down so I have gone back to liquid stage to reboot. Today is a good day. Water staying down (check), Soup staying down (check) protien shake staying down (check), did I mention I'm very full? thank you for all the posts in here they have been very helpful.
