I also gained 10 pounds from fluids. You are probably retaining Water. You need to give your body a little more time to adjust. I didn't see any loss right away either.

I went to Dr Vohra and Dr Nishimaru of http://www.newyorkbariatrics.com/
Dr Vohra is the head of lapriscopic surgery at South Nassau
I am VERY happy with them

Well before surgery i was getting it every other month. Since surgery it is like clockwork now. I have also noticed that my cramps are SO MUCH WORSE. The first day or 2 I can hardly move. Guess i need to go see the doc.

I use it almost everyday to track my Protein and calories.... I find the days I dont use it are the days I dont hit protein or go out of range in my calorie goal.

I'm a 42 H.... and as I lose weight I am not losing in the Boobs so my back kills me... I am thinking of a reduction once i hit and maintain goal for a year.
I sometimes use a TENS unti on my back which relieves some of the pain

There is a girl in my support group who has had all 3 procedures.. Lap band to sleeve to bypass. She says she just cant stop eating and keeps gaining.
This is a concern for me as well.

Its hard to say my insurance needed a bmi of 35 and then I had thyroid issues and sleep apnea and a bmi over 40.
The best thing to do is talk to your surgeons insurance liaison. They will better be able to help you out

Got sleeved on 9/2012 by Dr. Nishimura !!

I'm from Oceanside --- Had it done by Dr Nishimaru at SNCH ... I go to a monthly support group there every first tuesday of the month

I woke up with the patch after surgery . Since i had no issues they just gave me some pills in case i need them

The Optifast has me running to the bathroom a few times a day even 4 days post-op i am still going with diarrhea

Honestly I would report her. She has no right to say things like that to patients

I am actually having sleeve surgery Monday March 11th... which is 2 days away eeeeek
I have been on the Optifast liquid diet for 9 days now with the allowed sugar free ice pop here and there. No Cheats which is very hard for me in a house that always has people cooking delicious smelling foods.
I'm having it done on Long Island NY
