Thank you everyone and being happy and healthy for your kids is priceless

Just wanted to give an update on my progress. Its been 4 months and I went from 247 on surgery day
to 194 (finally under 200!). I have been lucky to not have any complications, and I feel like a completely different person with more energy and more self esteem. I can finally shop in the little trendy stores instead of the special plus sized stores, and have more energy to keep up with my little boys (3 and 5). If anyone out there is contemplating having this surgery or not, all I have to say is this surgery is one of the best things that I have ever done, absolutely no regrets. Feeling great!!

Hi my name is sylvia from Riverside Ca,sleeved on march 21 2012 down 42 lbs.

I forget myself when I drink. I'll start gulping, then stand there frozen, waiting for the pain to hit......

I'm post op day 5 and have to constantly remind myself to drink! Does anyone else get that bubbly/growling feeling in their tummy whenever they eat? does it have to do with the temp or quantity of what I'm eating? Does it mean that I am full or starving? I don't like the way it makes me feel and that's another reason why I'm having trouble with getting all my liquids in.
All I really want to eat is comfort food like mac/cheese, cheese and crackers and Cereal

My surgery is at kaiser Fremont ca. Good luck to you

I'm glad to have found someone my age going Through the same thing (i'm 23). You should ask your Dr if he requires the leak test after surgery because some Dr check before you even get off the operating table

Hello everyone!!
So I have been reading all your stories for a couple of months and I finally grew a pair and decided to post my own story
I am 23 years old married with two kids, I have been through a lot with being a teenage mom and all, but I am proud to say that after years of struggling I graduated with my bachelors for registered nurse in June 2011. I always knew was overweight but put my health on the back burner because my family/kids and school were more important to me. Now have a good job and think it's time to concentrate on ME.
Luckily I don't have any health problems... YET. I work on a medical/surgical floor and I see SOOOO many people coming in for amputations and issues with their hearts and kidneys all because of diabetes and poor lifestyle choices. I NEVER want myself or my family to have to go through any of those issues so I'm doing this surgery to prevent those things. Besides, I'm pretty much a walking contradiction when I have to tell people to watch what they eat or exercise more when myself am overweight.... they look at me like 0_o
Anyway, my date is for 3/22 with Dr.Fedorka in so-cal. I'm super excited yet scared. My biggest obstacle is going to be dealing with baked goods, I eat something chocolaty/sweet about every other day but I actually like the taste of the chocolate Protein shakes, so I hoping that will satisfy my cravings
I can't wait to have more energy and fit into cute clothes/dresses and hopefully people will stop asking when the baby or babies are due.. I'M NOT PREGNANT! lol
Thanks for reading

I don't think thats silly at all! I bought a couple, and waited to get into them...Like the the one I am wearing in the photo. I am losing very slowly now, but hope to get down a size or two more... I have a small stack of "a little too small" cloths I have bought for the future. I didn't pay too much for them, and will give them to someone else if I don't get there... but I think I will get there! Gotta love the sleeve!
