  1. november 6th here and i am also down 13 pounds woohoo! it feels good. hit the gym today. lasted 30 minutes on the elliptical. are you working out yet? have you had your 2 week post op, my appointment is on wed. i cant wait. hopefully his scale shows more progress than mine lol
  2. im really sorry you are feeling this way. i do remember feeling this way the first 4 days and it was awful. i hope and pray that you get better soon.i battled nausea as well and still do from time to time and i still take my medicine prescribed. are you in physical pain from incisions or internally when fluids go down?. have you tried warm tea/ the tea helped and saved me so much. it got alot of gas out and made me feel much better! what does your doctors office say? i know how you feel about regretting your decision because i did too but i can only say it does get better. i am now 11 days post op and feel pretty good. i hope you feel better soon! keep us posted
  3. yes.nov 6th here. WICKED itchy but my incisions look so good most of the glue has come off so im excited. and it really bothers me that my surgeon wont let me apply any lotion. lol
  4. i was in pain for 4 days. i am 11 days post op and still am a little sore but it def fades a good 7 days after. you will feel great and brand new soon. the only thing to remind you of surgery will be your tiny incisions. good luck and feel better soon. get lots of rest if you can

  8. I was a very heavy smoker almost a pack a day. They never tested me either i quit 3 weeks before but i cheated and had a hard time i used e cig and seriously would have half a cig every other night lol *head down in shame* but hey still better than a pack a day Sent from my Samsung G2 using VST
  9. Yayyyyy Im so happy for you jess glad you are feeling better 307 surgery day. Nov. 13th 295 Nov 21st two week pre op appointment not going on the scale til then lol trying hard to resist. Sent from my Samsung G2 using VST
  10. congrats on your sleeve. sorry you are having trouble. i remember feeling the same as you about 2 weeks ago but it def does get better. if you are alot of discomfort i would call your Surgeon nurses line. if not just go back to the hospital. they should not have sent you home if you were experiencing this much pain. as for the dent. i have one too i think its kinda cool lol. i hope you feel better and please call them. better to be safe than sorry
  11. thank you so much! honestly i was soooo sore and in pain the first 4 days that cig was never even on my mind. as i started healing and being able to move around much more my neighbor would come visit in and out and i would smell it but even that made me nauseous. but i dunno something in me just said oh let me get a few drags. then i thought about how horrible it could make me feel in the long run and totally ruin the healing process. i feel better and never cough. i can last longer on the elliptical now too!!
  12. Hey my surgery went great 11 days post op today no regrets just trying to "work my sleeve" lol i am very happy i did this. Still cigarette free but had a few puffs 3 days ago and was reminded of y i stopped double ewwww lol Sent from my Samsung G2 using VST

  16. i think it depends on your state. my medicaid covered it. they should cover all 3 bariatric surgeries as long as you qualify.
  17. ok so i dont have that great of insight on this but i will try. lol i had a c section as well and my father tried to drill into my head to wear a belly band. i never did. my friend however did and she looks AMAZING. you could not even tell she had a baby at all and everything is tucked in so nicely. im only 1 week post op and im going to my brothers wedding in a few days so i have to get some spanx. which i plan to wear daily. i am going to buy 2 sizes down as well because i no longer have incision pain. well i do but its minimal. i think they help alot with keeping things in and formed lol. i only have one example of this working but hey why not try. i was watching those as seen on TV commercials and i wanna get the tummy tuck one. my friend swears by it as well. but i def have to push myself into some spanx this saturday in order for my dress to look decent lol
