I would say more like 8-12 months just remember it took a while to put on. I lost 30 lbs the first 3 weeks. Get a good blender too cause the first 2-3 months everything is blended

Dr Baker usually keeps you in 3 days 2 nights. My worst pain was gas pressure & walking helps! Pain pump was nice as well. To me it's a minimal amount of pain for what we gain

I only weigh once a month to keep from driving myself crazy but as of about a week ago 76 lbs!

I was worried too so I understand. I have bcbs I had to pay about 3 grand and all before surgery. Thankful my husband didn't have a heart attack and just paid it. I had to jump through hoops but it was so worth it! You'll love Courtney she's awesome

Oh and I gained weight before my surgery he wasn't happy and told me I had to get the 7 lbs off I gained before my surgery date which 2 weeks prior your on the protein shakes and you'll lose. I dropped 11 lbs in 6 days

He's a bit odd but really good. Be prepared to get the 3rd degree about your food choice if your not eating right. I love Courtney his physicians assistant. Good luck!!

Vilonia/Conway here! I used Dr. Baker I was sleeved 12-6-12.

City of bones series. Ok I'm a recovering food addict but ill always be a book junkie

Oh sookie stackhouse series is really good if your in to vampires

Twilight series, beautiful creatures series,anything Nicolas sparks

I cut about 10 inches off 3 months after. My hair isn't falling out or thinning it was just damaged from all the bleaching. Now I have a cute posh spice cut and its healthy

I had to fight my old habits hard this week. My one true weakness has always been peeps. I could demolish a case of them in a day. I just kept remembering the scale and refused to break!

If I eat to fast or if something does go down right I have to vomit and I don't care for that so I suggest eating slower and you said you haven't had a bm in a few days that can cause other problems. I take stool softners daily because I was having issue so try that

I had the same fear but to my surprise they approved me and I'm 4 months post op so good luck!!!

Last week was spring break. We spent the entire week in sunny Southern California. We took the kids to Disneyland and typically I would worry about being able to fit on rides. I even googled what rides an over weight person should avoid. I got in the park and was like forget it I'm doing everything. You know what? I rode everything!!!! Nothing squeezed me or hurt. I fit!!!!!

Honestly I told family and friends. When someone asks me I tell them. I also explain its not a quick fix its not easy but I don't care what others think

It was good! I'm down 7 inches around hips and waist! My doctor was very happy with my progress don't go back until June

Try to up your fluids if your not drinking enough you can dehydrate and cause a stall

Well i guess thats it but its been way wrong for years. Oh well new bra has these saggy hags back up and perky

So I guess there is no answer other than he said my boobs had to be measured wrong prior. Lol

Oh I complained about the gas pressure but they wouldn't give me anything. They had me walking with in a few hours which wasn't fun but now that I'm 3 months out I hardly remember it!

I didn't have that. I wasn't allowed anything first day after surgery. That sucked. The day after I was given 1 oz of ice chips hourly. That was heaven on my very sore throat!

I agree with spanx! I just hope when I get it all off my ins ill cover my tummy tuck

I totally forgot about that! Yes that sucked. I used throat spray sorta helped

My pain was bad from the gas pressure and the drainage tube. That tube is awful but trust me this little bit of pain is worth the new lease on life!
