Anyone under 180lbs and getting sleeves? I have recently started to feel a bit guilty about getting sleeved for being overweight but not obese. I have other medical issues that have helped me make the decison to get sleeved, but I am curious to see if there is anyone else in the same boat.

Has anyone experienced having too much saliva and it makes you gag? Does anyone know why this happens?

I also stalled the 2nd and third week of surgery, well only losing 6lbs in those to weeks when in the first one i lost ten now the fourth 6lbs. however i try not to get knocked down by a stall since i do feel lighter on my feet and i have lost 3sizes.

My surgery was Sept. 1 2012, I am one month post-op. I feel awesome! thanks ene for your encouraging words!

Hey Sleevers! Tomorrow is my big day!!! I guess I am posting this because well one I would so appreciate your prayers and second I would love to share my experience for future sleevers. Please fell free to ask about my experience. I will have plenty of time during my hospital stay to read and answer questions. I hope I can help and put many of you at ease by sharing my experience. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this topic and sorry if I posted it in the wrong place I am fairly new to this. =)

Congrats! hope your recovery is a fast one! its one week for me tomorrow. first Dr. appointment today! i will share the progress. so far 10 lbs down.

HI guys. I am sorry I am just getting back to answering this post I have taken my recovery seriously and have not logged on mostly because i had mild headaches due to the lack of sugar. My pain experience from 1-10 was a 3 and mostly because I felt uncomfortable sleeping upright and not on my side. No nausea! My mom was in the hospital to help me get up to go RR. I was up 2 Hrs later walking. Thehardest part int he 48 hour stay was that i was thirsty and i couldnt have ice chips until discharge so i kept washing my mouth. In the last 5 days post-op the hardest has been sipping since I am thirsty and eant to down a water bottle. Like i mentioned a few headaches due to lack of sugar, but nothing an ice pop and childrens tylenol didnt fix. Also i still find myself craving, its more mental I guess. Still eyes bigger than stomach since I seem to think I can still eat a burger when in reality I cant even finish a jello. Hope this helps.
