********

I guess ive tried everything lol. I was on nuvaring for like a month and it came out during sex. ..I dont know if I did it wrong but if your partner has a large member I wouldn't suggest it haha

Just like diets with surgeons..obgyns differ so much in their opinions too..mine tells me mirena is perfect for people before kids lol.

Wow I was told that it took a month to be in your system..not on depo anymore though...my primary wouldnt even let me consider this surgery on depo since the risk of weight gain. I'm on mirena now

Dr said I am losing at the rate of a bypass patient... is this good or bad? He has a very dry sense of humor and talks very monotone so i couldnt tell... I didn't ask because I felt awkward asking.

28lbs but I'm losing less and less each week.

How much did you lose your first week and 1/2? A lot of people have a stall after losing a bunch. I was sleeved on may 23rd so we r close

I had sex after 4 days...nothing too crazy in the beginning though...I'm almost at the 3 week mark and we have had sex quite a few times after and I'm still alive. You will be fine.

I was well aware that your tastes change post op and for some everything tastes sweeter. . Well I am part of that some...I have to plug my nose to drink my protein drinks. But i am having trouble with clear liquid varieties. I have tried it all: different flavored crystal lights, mio flavoring, dasani flavoring, flavored water, isopure protein water (never again), diet iced teas, zero calorie vitamin water and gatorade etc. Everything tastes too sweet to me and I even tried watering down everything. ..anyone with this problem have any suggestions about what else to try?...I'm frankly getting sick of plain water. Also when does this period of eeverything tasting so sweet end? I am told it is temporary.

Is there a dr on call you can call to ask...I dont know one way or the other

36lbs in 6 days? Or is this including pre op...either way that's awesome!

Oh haha sorry

Everyone always says that the surgery would be rescheduled but what about those of us who had no preop diet?... we all lived

Ive noticed my fingers get smaller when its colder so ring gets looser and they get bigger when its warmer. Did you try putting your hand near the ac or soaking in ice cold water...just a thought

When I had my tonsilectomy I had a complication about a week and 1/2 later where my incisions started to bleed. Drove myself to the hospital and fiance didnt get there til after they put me under so they put surgical tape around my ring because I had no one to hold it...maybe they can do that

I hope its not me because I can't think of a song that would go for me...

Has anyone else noticed the unusual amount of posts by people from the same few drs in Mexico talking about their sleeve journeys? The posts are so frequent and awkwardly similar that it makes me wonder if the people writing them are real and if they are real if they are told to write this? They are long posts too and usually within a few days of their surgery date.

but if you make the necessary precautions you can prevent scaring all together. One of my incisions (above the belly button) is all the way healed completely and you can no longer see it. And I'm only 2.5 weeks out.

I had no pre op diet so I ate to my hearts content the days before surgery...I probably ate 1600-1800 calories per day which is a lot for me...I had no issues with surgery and there are many others like me who also do no preop diet...you will be fine.
