What are the essentials right after surgery?
if you plan to sleep in your bed after the first couple of days, it helps to buy one of those wedges at wal mart. Or just prop several pillows under you where you can still stretch your legs out in bed but propped up. Also, a huge thing is some sort of tummy support. Wether it be a travel pillow or some sort of a compression belt/girdle/shirt type thing. It helps so much with moving, walking, coughing, sneezing.

Any Tattooed Sleevers?
I have 2 on upper back (one is large), one on lower back, 1 on each ankle, top of foot, inner wrist ... I've only lost 21 lbs (surgery was 2 weeks ago) but I think mine are placed where they wont become too distorted. If I were you, I would wait until you lose the weight that way you dont waste money

Call all who were sleeved May 8th (or close)! How are you doing?
May 6 here .. down 21 lbs and 21.5" so far just started exercising tonight and hope to kick more weight out the door. Ive been a slow loser this past week

$25000 Surgery Cost, what did you pay?
of course they are going to jack the price up if you have insurance .. thats how they make money. Im glad I paid cash for mine and it was done in the states for $12,000 $7900 to hospital $3100 to Dr $1000 to anesthesiologist 2 weeks out, 21 lbs down and 21 1/2" gone!

3 days post op and not feeling full?
thank yall! I feel better about that. I have the Syntrax nectar, unflavored Protein and mix that in my soups/drinks on top of getting my Protein shakes in. Possibly still not getting all my protein in but Im dang sure trying. The numb part is a good way to have explained it for me. I didnt think of it like that, so thank you
