Hi! I Was sleeved just under 5 months ago. Weight loss has been great. Down 67 pounds. I am exercising daily and working with personal trainer once a week. I am having pain inside near my largest incision (right side) I've been to see my surgeon twice now with this pain and he doesn't feel an hernia. I am now being sent for ct scan. The pain happens after I eat and sleeve is full and while stretching or standing from sitting. Has anyone experienced this? I'm worried that its something bad but the pain is not intolerable. Help!

Sleeved 2/26. Down 62 pounds

Lol. You girls are funny. I actually tried on my year 2000 prom dress this weekend and it fit and it ZIPPED!!!! I was thrilled.

It counts as both

Great thread!! I'm 11 weeks out. 2/27/13 surgery date. Start weight 303. Day of surgery 288. Current weight 252. Down 51 total and 36 since surgery. About 3 weeks total. And 2 week long stalls through so far. Better than I could ever do on my own. I'm thrilled!! I work out for 40-45 minutes a day about 5-6 times a week. Mostly walking and beginning to jog. I'm eating about 800-1000 calories a day. I'm taking 2 chewy vits, 1200 mg Calcium, b12, frolic acid, Biotin and 2 Pepcid.

Yes. she was. YAY! Do you have a surgery date yet?

I met dr medvetz about two years ago while she was at the barix clinic but then she left and I found dr Edwards at st Mary's and loved him but dr medvetz would have been my second choice.

Hi all. I had surgery in 2/27 and live in Newtown. I met with dr marymor and liked him ok but then had an appointment with dr Eric Edwards at st Mary's. he was amazing!!! I would highly encourage you to at least meet with him. I work for the state of nj and also have bcbs of nj and the covered everything. After surgery, I received my explanation of benefits and surgery costed -- ready for this--- 57,000 dollars and I paid ---$15. Sooo thankful for insurance but would have paid out if pocket as this surgery has saved my life.

I was told that when I drink my protein shakes, cream of soups a d puddings (full liquid phase) then those ounces also count as 64 of protein AND liquid. Does that sound right? I feel like I am never actually drinking water.

I see the didference. And you look so much happier.

So I was wondering. I was sleeved on 2/27 and am doing great. How long did everyone have to wait to drive. I had my first follow up today and staples were removed but I forgot to ask. Been off pain meds for 2 full days now.

How is everyone doing so far? Everyday gets better for me and so happy with my decision. I doubted myself the first two days but I have been up and moving and things are no issue so far. Hoping this continues. Ony complaint, 5 days out and lost only two pounds.... I know it's the uv and fluids and such but I literally am on clear liquid diet for a week and thought I would see some more results.

That is awesome. I am right in newtown. Where are you having surgery and with what doc? I had dr Edwards at st Mary's and have been beyond pleased with him and his service. The staff at the Hospital was soooo accommodating. I was just sleeved on 2/27
