woman in me

I'm losing a steady 10 lbs a month. Total loss 133 lbs. total since DOS 93. I'm 7 lbs short of onederland. Hoping to see that by Nov. and my Drs goal for me is 170. So only 37 lbs to go

Just to give all you future sleevers some reference. I was sleeved 2/25 by Dr Thomas Borland in New Iberia, LA. I'm now 5 days post op and I went shopping today. Not for long mind you. And only to two stores and I did sit and rest while in each store but I feel pretty good. I've had quiet a few other surgeries (lithotripsy, tonsillectomy, gall bladder removed, uteral ablasion, tubes tied, hysterectomy) and I can say this was the less painful of any. However my problems came day one and two trying to drink water or anything else. I would dry heave and gag with each try. Not a horrible thing but uncomfortable and exhausting when you are drugged and weak. I was discharged from hospital same day as surgery. That same night I walked around my hotel complex. I did find getting comfortable to be a challenge and so I would sleep in bed a few hours and then in the chair for awhile (not unusual for me on a normal night). But this is getting better after a few days. I haven't had pain meds since day 1 but I am loving Gas X strips. I don't feel hunger at all and it hasn't bothered me to watch others eat. However I would love to just chew on a big greasy cheeseburger. Not swallow. Just move it around in my mouth and spit it out. (Shut up you Pervert). Anyway. That's my experience. If you want to know anything message me.

How are you doing since surgery?

I am happy to say I am 19 days pre-op and I have already met 2 of the goals I had set for post op. My blood sugar is down from 220 to 92. And as of this morning I am down 38 lbs and have now entered two-nderland.

Hi everyone. My surgery was 2/25/13. HW 340, DOS 301, CW 230. I'm 5 months out and 110 lbs down. From 26/28 to 14/16. Most people don't recognize me. My own father walked past me and didn't know who I was. I'm doing things I could never do before. I love my sleeve.

I'm down 70 lbs since DOS. 110 total. From size 26/28 to a 14/16. Going to ride our bikes to TN next week and go zip lining and white water rafting. I could have never done that before sleeve. Loving life.

I'm down 70 lbs since DOS. And 110 total. only 30 lbs to onederland

I use a lotion made for fibromyalgia and arthritis sufferers. It's called Two Old Goats. You can google it and see where you can buy it. It's awesome. A lot of my clients (I own nail salon) use it and love it. Sent from my iPhone using VST
