I had my sleeve on Jan 9 in Fl. We spend the summers near Flint. Does anyone know if there are any support meetings in the area?
-
I'm in Largo. Did any of you Florida sleevers use Dr Jessee?
-
Mine has a $1,000 fee. I paid it as she is the best around here. I have had no problem since I got my sleeve Jan 9.

I had my sleeve Jan 9. I am down 21 lbs since the surgery and 35 lbs total. I am very happy. I get all my protein and vits in. I still have trouble getting all my liquids in. I went out to eat 4 times last week and still lost 2lbs! I first for me.

Boobs and face, wish it was my hips!

When and where is it?

The dress

Congrats! Enjoy the new you!

I was also sleeved on the 9th. I work all day to get in 600 calories. I am not getting enough liquids in. I have to wait 60-90 minutes between eating and drinking so it's really hard to get them all in. After I got a vit B-12 shot, I felt so much better and now have a lot more energy. Good luck to you.

I would get another opinion or two.

WOW, you look great, keep up the work!

You look great. Keep up the good work!

I got a bad hive like rash on my stomach and legs right after the surgery. It lasted about a week. I took Benadryl and that helped with the itch. I call my doctors office a few times about it and they weren't very concerned, just said it would go away with time.

You look great! Keep up the good work

My BMI was 37 when I had my sleeve done on Jan 9. I had gained and lost 25-30 four times in the previous 10 years, each time gaining a few more. I beleave this is the only way for me to keep it off forever.

I had my sleeve on Jan 9 and with the prediet I have lost 26lbs! and lots of inches! I'm doing will on mushy foods and will move on to soft reg foods next week. I'm still not getting in enough liquids.

I started my pureed meals yesterday and did find with my homemade chicken salad and mashed up cooked carrots.

I'm 5'3 and at my hight 211. At almost 3 weeks out I am 187 and hope to get down to 125-140.

This is happening to me also. My doctor told me to only drink half the shake in the morning. So now I get up and drink a whole cup of tea with milk and then I drink half my shake. I am drinking smaller amounts thru out the day. I have been feeling better. Today I also had 2oz of cream of wheat after the tea.

I am 62 and I had my sleeve on Jan 9. I'm doing great so far. My MI/Blue/Cross paid for it. I'm a slow looser but that's OK as it took a long time to put all this weight on. Wish I had done it earlier.
-
I had my surgery the 9th too and I have only lost 8lbs I think you are doing really well! I am tired too. I am finally able to get my protein in but I am still not getting enough liquids. I have 3 more weeks until I can even think about eating real food. I think slow but sure it the way to go, everyday I do feel better!

The TKR is much harder than the Vgs, I wish I had done the Vgs first.

I had my sleeve done on the 9th and feeling pretty good. I still have lots of gas. I have a hive like rash all over my belly? Is this normal? It doesn't itch. I am only using tylenol right now. I think my biggest problem is I'm not eating or drinking nearly enough. It seems like I am spending the whole day eigher trying to eat, drink or getting the vitimins in. I don't think I have had more than 200 calories since the surgury. How long does this last??? I think I am weak from lack of food. Nothing tastes good and I am not hungary.
