Thanks for all the compliments 60+ pounds down! I feel great

Ok with all the estrogen voicing I feel I should step in being a man and say I think he's scared of you changing and not being able to keep you. I would love to know the divorce rate and relationship break up post sleeve.weight loss. My wife is supportive of me getting sleeved for health reasons. All 103lbs of her. But she has mentioned me losing weight and going else where. My wife is very beautiful and confident in herself and looks but she still made the comment after 14yrs of marriage. Were that couple that everyone sees out and says to themself why is she with him? It's a natural defense to push away someone you feel may hurt you for some reason. Just my 2cents and the way I would be feeling if I was in his shoes.

My surgeon told us that sleeve patients don't get dumping. Only gastric bypass patients to, but sleeve patients can symptoms that closely mimic dumping.

I was sleeved April 25. I never thought my pain would go away. Even 1 week ago today it still hurt to laugh,cough& sneeze. It even hurt to sit up straight to drive. I could only sleep on my back. The good news is this week all week I have felt great! I can laugh,sneeze,& cough with no pain!! I can also sleep on both sides!!
Trust me it does get better. I never thought i was going to feel better again. But I feel great now! Good luck!!

I asked about wearing a tampon and the nurse at my surgeons office suggested a pad. Just in case you aren't up to changing your tampon after surgery. I luckily got off my monthly cycle 2 days before surgery. I'm late starting this month. Maybe it's due to surgery??

Ha. I'm eating refried beans with cheese & taco sauce. Right now. I haven't eaten a 1/2 cup yet. But I think I'm going to be able to eat it all.

Omg. Congrats. That's amazing!! You look amazing!!!

KATIEB - you are not babying yourself. This is considered a major surgery, not minor. Please take it easy. The downside of this surgery is if you don't take care of yourself you can really be in big trouble, to include a trip back to the hospital. Remember, work is temporary, life is permanent.

I am too! :-) One of my favorite NSV's to date was my shopping splurge at Victoria's Secret! I never realized how ugly my old duds were until now! Back to matching bra and panty sets AND loving that when my husband folds the laundry, he has to ask if the panties are mine or my daughter's (she's 10!!)!!

I haven't. I know two people personally who have had this done (one 6 months ago; the other almost 2 years ago). They both LOVE it! I'm doing it because I see how happy they are.
