I had surgery 5/29 I have lost 31 lbs. Starting weight 226.1 I'm excited to have found someone similar to me. I think we are doing great!

I had the lap band and then four years later had the vertical sleeve. I never followed the pre op diet.

Yep

Hello, positive energy your way. What help me was having someone bring me a large cup of crushed ice from a circle k/gass station. Thus is what saved me. A spoon full of crushed ice every five to ten min. I also had a fever. Mine was 101.5 I took liquid tylenol. I did not take pain meds once I got out of the hospital sine I believe they made me sick to my stomach. Hang in there. My email is toniaiso@gmail.com if you have mire questions.

I find water with cucumber slices very refreshing. After drinking profect post op, i don't think I will ever drink gatorade, or anything sweet again.

I am two months out. Starting weight 225.1 Today I am 198.7 Is this normal? Or am I doing something wrong?

I am exhausted also. I had surgery 5/29 Down 25.5 lbs I don't have any energy. Just enough to go to work and take care of my four year old

Nope. No ng tube.

I am 19 days post op and I'm so hungry!

This is the second time that I have been awaken by choking. Gastric contents in my lungs. Anyone else experience this. It is scary.

Today I am four days out and I feel the same. How long until I feel better?

I am 3 days post op. I feel really bad. I feel to sick to drink the profect Can I just start on regular shakes? Help

I had surgery this am, and I am feeling great! All went well. Just so thirsty and my throat hurts from being intubated. Swallow study in am then I get clear liquuds. Only ice chips today.

7 1/2 hours until check in. Surgery st 7:30. Feeling more at ease. Hope to post again Soon.

Thank you all for your support! It is so nice to have people who know what I'm going through. It means the world to me. Anyone who is scheduled t have surgery after me. please ask me any questions. I am here to support others also!

I have surgery Tuesday morning at 7:30. I have had no fear until about an hour ago. I have a beautiful four year old little girl. I hope and pray the surgery goes well. She is my world. She is part of the reason that I am making this drastic decision. I want to live a long healthy life with her. I know she is in good hands with her father, my husband while I'm in the hospital. I just have this fear of not waking up from surgery and never seeing her again.

Hang in there. You can do this! I am having the sleeve on may 29. However I had the lap band in 2008, then had it removed in 2010. I remember crying because I was so hungry, or so I thought I was. After two years of eating, i cry due to the fact that being fat has caused me to be miserable. You can do this. Try sipping on warm tea or chicken or beef broth. Hang in there!

I hear your pain. When I first had the lap band I remember crying because I was so hungry. I was hoping with the sleeve that I would not feel the same hunger pains!

My name is Tonia and I am 35. I am a wife and mother. I had lap band surgery in 2008 and had to have it removed in 2010. I am scheduled for the sleeve May 29! I can't wait!

Prayers are with you. You will do great! Whatwere your pre op instructions? Any special diet, like clear liquids, golyte ect?

Supper Excited for you! I have surgery on May 29. I hope I do not have a hard time. I work full time and have a four year old!
