I am 8 months out also and have lost 82 lbs with 17 more to go. I haven't kept up with my vitamins because I always get sick after them. I notice I bruise so easy! I did just start Zumba 3 times a week so I hope that helps with tightening of the arms and legs.

I was sleeved by Dr. Sherman Yu in Houston on 11/21/12 with the single incision procedure. Couldn't be happier with the results and the staff. I see him tomorrow for a follow up visit. I was self pay.

Hello, I used Dr. Yu and had the SPIDER procedure done at Park Plaza on 11/21/12. I am so thankful I chose him. I had my passport and plane tickets purchased for Dr. Lopez in Puerto Vallarta. I got scared and stayed local. I do not know about the abdominal wall catheters? I had a rough 3 days bc I had a hernia that Dr. Yu fixed while I was under. I coughed up a lot of stuff. Other than that I was sore but by the 5th day felt much better. I am 10 weeks out now and am seeing him in the morning for a follow up.

I'm in Spring, Texas!!! I would love to attend a support group!

Good idea ladies...I don't have insurance so how much is an IUD? Are they all painful?

I have an appt. in the morning to get a depo shot but was wondering if it will cause weight gain or a stall? Does anyone have any experience with this? What kind would you recommend? Thank you!

I was sleeved 11/21 and I lost 10 lbs. post op then 11 lbs in this past 2 weeks. Having horrible heart burn though. I still have some tenderness to the left of my belly button but the surgeon told me today its because that is the side the stomach was removed from. Just started pureed foods today! Cream of wheat has never been so good!

Thank you....I have cheated 2 times and am on day 5. I still have 9 days to go so I will stay strong. The thought of something going wrong with my surgery scares me to death. Thank you all for the words.

That is really good advice. I have to remember I am the one that wanted this. I guess I was hoping that even if I didn't follow the pre op diet I could still get surgery and go full force from there. Horrible huh? I need to buck up and do this!!

Has anyone else had this happen? I know I will physically be able to stick with it once my stomach is swollen but should I back out of surgery because I can't keep food out of my mouth until then? I'm so disappointed in myself! I didn't mean to put a smiley face in the topic!!! it should have been

I have been dreaming of food! I have stayed strong so far. Its day 3 and I wish I could fast forward to the 21st!!!

Has anyone else had this problem? I have a Galaxy II and have the VST mobile app but can't reply or post from my phone. I have already deleted the app and reinstalled. Thank you!

I never thought I would say this but Thank God I am sick starting my pre-op diet! I can't smell anything and haven't noticed much that I have been on liquids since yesterday. I hope it stays like this!!! Good luck y'all!

Wow! You have me pumped! lol Yes, I didn't sign up for a cake walk but just nervous I will give in to temptation as usual. Like you said though, deal with it. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all that. Have a great night!
