15 lbs gain after surgery ?
starshine replied to jayzer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I came home 9 lbs heavier. Like everyone said, it goes away really quickly! -
I'm 17 days out and I can't drink plain water either. Makes me feel a little sick so I have to use Crystal Light or diet Arizona tea packets.. It's so weird!

Allergic to med tape???
starshine replied to emily_0192010's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey Emily!! I had the same exact thing. I even had a couple blisters where the tape was. I put Caladryl on when the itching was driving me crazy and then just waited it out. It's gone now. -

Looking to make the 20 somethings forum active
starshine replied to ATLGirl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm going with Dr. Cywes! Oh that's so cool we're going to be at the same place. I liked Dr. Pinnar a lot and could easily go with him too. He talked to my mom and I a long time and answered all of our questions. I hope you can avoid the 3 month diet because it's a pain in the ass! lol I hate it. Maybe I'll see you at a support group down the line, my name is Kasey. -

starshine replied to ATLGirl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hey Emily, I'm Kasey. I live in Jax too and I'm 23. I'm a couple weeks into my 3 month diet I have to do for my insurance. Who's going to be your surgeon? -

Good luck to you and everyone getting sleeved tomorrow! -
Holy Cow... it all starts tomorrow
starshine replied to Goofyspice's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good luck!!! I can only imagine the nerves/excitement/doubt/hope/fear you feel right before the surgery. I'm gonna be a mess lol. -
I'll be 24 when I have my surgery and I'm worried about the same thing. I'm bigger than you and have always been overweight so I'm not too optimistic about the skin thing but I'll exercise and cross my fingers I guess. Gotta keep telling myself that I should be happy to worry about loose skin because that means the fat is gone!

How fun! Seeing how happy you look in your picture actually made me tear up a little bit. I hope to have success like yours soon.
