hi!! congrats! Dr.Alami is great! he was my surgeon.wishes for a speedy recovery and success on your weight loss journey!Alice

Hi everyone!My name is Alice and i had surgery sept last year with Dr.Alami.I was/am retired so I didn't have a job to go back to and i am glad for that.I had no problems and just took it easy but was waiting til I "felt like myself" again.it seemed to take about a month.so it is different for everyone and maybe it depends on your age too.take care,i am enjoying the encouragement we all give to each other.i didn't like the fact that the rny and sleeve were lumped together with almost no info on the sleeve and that drove me to web sites such as this and obesityhelp.com to get my questions answered or i might have had a different surgery.

hi!! how are you? i had the 6 month check p and it is a class.we went upstairs to have bp and weigh in then to the 2nd floor class room and met with the nut,nurse phillips and another nurse,i forgot her name.it was 2 hours and they handed out your lab results and if you had something on them that needed clearing up,they are there for questions.my labs were good so i went home.they said there would be another appt in 6 more months.there were about 15 in the class.hope you are doing well,Alice

i am glad you are feeling better!

what about miralax? does that work?

hi! i had my sleeve on 9-15 also!glad we are both doing good!

there is also obesityhelp.com,they have weight loss forums and info also.doesn't hurt to check them all out.you want to do all the research you can.Alice oh and welcome!
