I'm 5'2 and was sleeved dec 20. My start weight was 265 surgery was 256 and now I'm 234. I haven't lost anything in almost 3 weeks it's really starting to get to me!

My husband didn't really want me to have the surgery but I think it's more because of his own in securities. Everyone at his work that spouses have had it they have gotten a divorce. The night and morning before surgery he was a complete jerk! I guess he's coming around though and he actually went on a diet too of course he is losing so fast and is already down a pants size!

My worst days were by far my 4th and 5th days. They also happened to be Christmas Eve and Christmas Day ughh!! It does get so much better good luck!

Dr. Lavin did mine on Dec 20. I have only met him one time for about 5 mins after waiting almost 3 hours at his office to be seen. I never even saw him the day of surgery. I have had no complications at all and everyone that has gone to him says he is absolutely wonderful. I guess I just had mine done at a bad time of the year.

How's everyone doing?

I just went to Victoria's Secret and they fit me! She did an amazing job I was very impressed! They are expensive in there but me and my sister hit a sale!

I have been looking for your thread!! I'm Candice, I live in Central. I was sleeved on 12/20 by Dr. Lavin in Covington.

Me too!! So nice to not have anything to worry about!!

A couple of years ago after my first son was born i had this happen but on my head. I freaked out went to the doctor and also had to get steroid shots in my scalp and let me tell you it's no fun! I'm praying that since I had surgery it won't happen again!

I was extremely blessed to have mine covered at a 100%! I had Humana at the time and had surgery 12/20 my Humana ended on the 31st! I was so thankful my doctor got me in!

Yes we should!!

Yes I agree!! Before I knew my surgery date me and my aunt had decided this year for Christmas dinner we would have a Cajun Christmas... Well my surgery was 12/20 so I couldn't have anything! I just keep telling myself in the end it will be so worth it! But man all I can think about is a shrimp poboy lol

Sleeved 12/20 Dos 256 Today 235 21# only 90 more to go!!

I'm from Baton Rouge too! Who did your surgery?

Mine was a little over a week late... I'm 11 days out. I'm thinking its pretty normal.

How many do you take? I was comparing the Bariatric Advantage to those and there was a big difference!

Does anyone know where you can buy chewable iron? I have looked everywhere! I was trying not to order online because I hate paying shipping!
