I am a slow loser. I have lost 40ibs. 40ibs that I would not have lost without surgery. I thank God everyday for the pounds gone.

I am 3 months out. I still throw up when i eat too fast.

Slow down.......and watch what you eat:-)

good luck and much success.

I am very private person by nature. My dr stated stomach surgery. I was out for two weeks.

I wait 30 minutes after eating before drinking. I have made the mistake of drinking before 30 minutes. I became very sick.

I drink Decaf and sugar free french vanilla instant coffee in the morning. I allow myself on the weekends to have skinny vanilla latte decaf with Protein from Starbucks.

I was scared myself. However mine was taken out in about 1 minute. It just feels weird coming out of your body. Good luck.

Thanks for the motivating post. I was sleeved on 12/20/12. I have lost only 30 pds. The dr was disappointed with my progress.

I took a small pillow for getting up and the drive home. I took my mini ipad but did not use it. Good luck with your surgery.

I miss drinking Water with my meals. I miss eating fast.

Tall skinny vanilla latte no whip cream with soy milk.

I am a very private person. I only told my parents. I do not want answer questions about the surgery.

Single in Atlanta.....I hope we all find love with the vertical sleeve.

I can relate to this subject before surgery regular person. After, surgery once every week if I am lucky. I take milk magu every day with little results. Sometimes I want my old stomach back.

I am so happy for u. Keep up the goof work.

I am a teacher. I used my Christmas break 2 weeks.

I drink Decaf starbucks with two packs of splenda. I am 4 weeks postop. I have been drinking coffee since week 2.

I mix chia seeds in my Protein Shakes.< /p>

Welcome Sheree' date=' Im actually with Atlanta Bariatrics and Dr. Titus Duncan is my surgeon but I think there are a few ppl here that went through that organization. I would check back through the threads and maybe direct the question to specific ppl. Good luck and again welcome, glad to have you![/quote']

I had my surgery with Dr. Duncan on 12/20/12. I was self- pay so I did not have alot of problems. Email me a private message if you want to talk further. I am so sorry you going through this

On a separate note' date=' I cannot express how disappointed I am with my PCP's office. I have been awaiting my clearance letter for almost a month now. They've dropped the ball on a couple of things and from there excuses excuses. I am now having to wait on one of her staff members to return from leave to compose the letter. She is out having the same type of surgery!!!! and will be back Wed. Meanwhile I can't even get my advocate to call me back, just keep getting the call center staff. SMDH ...Does anyone give a f%#@ anymore?! ugh[/quote']

I am sorry you are getting the run around. I will be praying for you.

I had the drain in for 5 days and it did hurt. The drain was under my breast bone tmi:-). However, it did not hurt when it was removed.

Good luck

I am 12 days out. I am still not able to sleep on my sides. Laying on your back hurts. I am sleeping in a recliner.

I am a very private person. The only people that are aware of my surgery are my parents. I prefer not to discuss my surgery with others. I do not want people to judge me. Therefore, some people are more open than me. Good luck on your journey.

I pray that you come out okay. I am having pains in my leg and shoulder since the surgery. I went to my primary care dr today. I took a MRI and other xrays. I will get the results next week. If you arestill in pain go to the the emergency room. I do regret this surgery. Pray been sent for you.

I am two weeks out. I am still in some pain.

The first 7 days were the worst
