Okay, has anyone been through the liquid diet that has lupus? My flairs are going crazy. I have the "butterfly effect" and my face is constantly red.

4 days post opt! I sneezed today and thought I died! The heavens opened up because I had 3 C-sections and they don't seem to come close to a cough and a sneeze...

Oh man, I have been doing so good these past few weeks. Yesterday I had a horrible lupus flare and then it happened again today. My RA is also acting up. I wish so bad I could take a methotrexate shot, but I can't.

It's what medical massage is after autocorrect gets a hold of it I think

Oklahoma city here !!!

I know weighing at night is not advised but including the two week diet, I've lost 27lbs! Extremely happy with my sleeve!

I didn't bruise at all. My incisions are glued. No stitches or staples.

It's pretty certain you will lose weight with the sleeve. Many make it to goal, some do not.
It may not be 100% guaranteed....but without WLS, most of us here could be guaranteed of still being obese.

I would think that would be highly unusual/unlikely based on posts I've seen here.

This is encouraging because I am scared to death of failure.

My surgeon said it would help me a lot. I am very hopeful.

Hi all. My starting weight is 387. I am 6 days post-op and I'm down 21lbs. I hope it keeps coming off like this.

Katsis is the one who released me from the hospital. He was a hoot! Bailey is such a great hospital with wonderful Dr's and staff!

Oh I just love Dr. Kirk!! Who's doing your surgery? I had Varnell and love him! Work was okay yesterday. I had to go to the nurses office and lay down around noon. I'm still very sore but the weight is dropping off! Good luck and let us know how it goes!!!!

Oh my RA doctor was all for my surgery too. He was so excited and said it would help so much. I'm so glad I had it done. Down 21lbs!!

I had my pre op yesterday. Passed all tests and all cleared for Monday's surgery. I am down 16 pounds so far in a week and a half. It is getting closer for sure! I am past the nerves and second guessing...it is time to make a change and take control!
And 1gorgeousgodzilla, it could be worse...we could be Bama or Florida fans...lol GEAUX TIGERS!!

Night before surgery! Anxious and excited. Just trying to drink drink drink so I am not dehydrated tomorrow morning.
Congrats to everyone already sleeved and good luck tomorrow 8/14 sleevers!!!!

Flying out tomorrow for a Thursday morning surgery in Mexico with Dr Ponce. I'm getting nervous.

How's all the new sleevers doing??!!! Moved onto puréed this afternoon!!!!!!! YAY!!!!! Feeling so much better after actually eating something!!!!!

I was feeling the lack of meds right up to my surgery. The funny thing is, I haven't felt that bad the past 5 days post op. the specialist I go to said that the surgery threw my body in shock. He wants me to get prepared in case I have a bad lupus attack or bad RA flare up.

It's here.....THE BIG DAY!!!!! Heading to the hospital now. I'm so nervous but excited! Needing prayers this morning, please!!!

I'm alive!!!!!!! Day three post op, the nausea is gone, thank the good Lord!!!!!! I'm incredibly sore. How long will the soreness last????
