  1. I would think if insurance approved it he would still do it as long as you are overweight. I know they do like to see u lose some on your own first to show your commitment. Good luck!
  2. Just listen to everything they say to do, you will be at your goal in no time. Keep me posted! If you have any questions, I will help if I can ????. good luck!!!
  3. Since surgery in April, I have lost 80, total loss is 106 since starting the process. I want about 40 more to go.
  4. Gotcha! Dr. Nusbaum takes pics of your stomach before and after (if you're ok with it). Boy my sleeve is small! Love it though. 6 months out and very pleased!
  5. Good luck! What kind of revision are u getting?
  6. How is everyone making out now that it has been about 6 months??? I have lost 80 since surgery. On a 2 week stall right now, but I know that will pass.
  7. Hi there! I had the Sleeve done 6 months ago by Dr. Nusbaum. Love him and his staff, no problems for me at all. Ask me anything you want! One of the best decisions I have ever made!
  8. I drink Isopure. they are 40 grams of protein. they come in lots of flavors. They are not cheep, but worth every penny to get enough protein in. I get the at The Vitamin Shop.
  9. Just curious, from everyone's personal experience, how long does the famous 3rd week stall last?
  10. Oh my gosh! I am so sorry you went thru this! Hope all goes well from here on out!!
  11. Good luck!! Remember, sip, sip, sip & walk, walk, walk!!
  12. hang in there! I was sleeved 4/3 too! I lost 13 the first week too and then nothing until today. Now down 18. I am told the body is just adjusting to the shock of surgery and all. Either way, your scale will move soon! Good luck!!
  13. I also gained 10 pounds from the surgery. That came off pretty fast and then I lost another 13 quickly.......then wham, nothing for the last 3 days. I know it is normal, but it is frustrating!!
  14. Hi all! I am 11 days out and already hit a stall. I haven't lost an ounce in 3 days. Has anyone else started out this way?
  15. I was Sleeved on April 3rd. No problems other then the normal gas pains the first few days. Down 13 pounds, but getting frustrated because I haven't lost an ounce in 2 days. Isn't it to early for a stall?? Suggestions????
  16. Oh wow! So sorry your having issues like that. No fun at all! I am sure it will get better once the gastritis is under control. I am now a week out and doing very well. No issues at all. I hope it stays this way. I will be praying for you, keep in touch
  17. Hang in there! I was sleeved on 4/3. Everyday is better and better. I could get nothing down without it coming back up the first day or two. I have been on a script for acid since I left the hospital, and that must be saving me from that agony. Make sure you do get the prescription! Remember that this operation also messes with our hormones big time! Take your Zoloft (I am on that to) and just do as the doc says. Good luck to you and keep us updated!!
  18. VSG went well yesterday. Hope all of your surgeries went well!!!!
  19. I am ok on clothes for awhile. I have sizes from size 8 all the way up to 24 lol. I lost 100 pounds twice. I was not going to go thru it again without the sleeve!
  20. I think you are around my age too if your profile is right. I am 51.
  21. I will be sleeved at 9 am! I have to be there at 7. I am not nervous anymore, right now anyway lol! I just want it over with! I will be thinking of you
  22. I have off from work too. I still don't know my time yet, they are calling me after 3 to let me know. It is driving me crazy not knowing the time!!! I am bringing my cell so yes, I will log in as soon as I can. You do the same! It is wonderful to have someone going thru the exact same thing as you (at the same time)! By the way, my name is Laurel
  23. I feel the same way. Let's do this already!
