No I'm sorry if I explained it wrong. When I had the last EDG withthe new specialist when I woke and she spoke with us she told us both at the same time that there were absolutely no signs of any type of gastric surgery. I asked her to clarify and she said all of my stomach was just as it should be prior to any surgeries. No sign of revision

1. Get that report in writing; and 2. Consult with a couple of good medical malpractice lawyers. Damages may be hard to prove but at the very least you are owed a refund for the cost of that surgery.

Thanks for the update. I was just thinking about the smells and what we would eventually get to eat soon. Stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberries, sweet potatoes just all in super small portions. In the end we have just been given a tool it's how we choose to use it that matters. Happy thanksgiving everyone

Quote Have you tried the 5 day pouch test? www.5daypouchtest.com I am beginning the 5day pouch test today and its only 5 pm and I have a headache and dying to munch on something. I started the test because I've been stalled for two months! Sleeved on nov 20th 2012 and I've only lost 60 lbs. any suggestions to get me through the test?

I had my Sleeve las Monday, I have experienced very little to no pain. I've only had a minor discomfort on days where I haven't taken pain meds. I am really tired of liquids, but other than that I have no complaints!!!

Oh no v I am so sorry to hear that glad they did get you the tools to drop those 80 pounds though! Now you can be a show off an drop MORE than 80 in 6 months

It's almost 6 pm and I am so ready for bed so I can wake up and head for the hospital . So excited to get to know my new body. I will not be a failure I don't want to let my family down but most importantly myself. See y'all in a few days to report in. Goodnight

Hi Suzjag... I am sorry that you are feeling this way. You are looking at the sleeve as a negative instrument. It is a wonderful tool. I am pleased every time it stops me from eating what I want. If it dd not, it wouldn't be doing it's job. You have lost 40 lbs...that is wonderful, could you have done it without he sleeve in such a short time? I too can think of a couple times I was subject to the sleeve not letting me have what I wanted. I was eating chips and salsa both times. I could have eaten until I passed out, but the sleeve put the brakes on and warned me first before that uncomfortable feeling. I always get a runny nose when I have hit the full mark. I use that as my gage before the uncomfortable, stuffed feeling comes on. I am just 10 months out, but hope this is a life time tool. I hope you can learn to see this in a positive way. I am off of blood pressure meds, cholesterol meds and find my life so much more enhanced by the ability to fit in and have the energy to do what I want. Good luck to you.

Not sure if this would be considered body wipes or not, but with my sections, I loved having flushable wipes. Since it can get kinda hard to make sure you got it all clean lol, the wipes made me feel like "Yup, all clean".
