I am 7 weeks out and I saw my endocrinologist yesterday. He informed me that I am no longer a diabetic. No more injections & no more pills. I love my sleeve. Dana

I just broke a stall this morning. I'm currently just shy of 7 weeks out and the stall lasted 2 weeks. It was very frustrating and I'm so glad it's over.

You are definitely sassy, sexy and fit.

Minor loose skin wouldn't bother me but lots of loose skin would definitely be a turn off.

I lost 19 pounds in two weeks. Don't worry, that is exactly what is supposed to happen.

You look really good. Way to go girl.

Hasn't made a difference for me.

I'm in. Starting Weight: 265 Goal Weight: 255

I'm 5 1/2 weeks out and I still experience hunger just as much as I did pre-op. Very frustrating.

I'm 5 1/2 weeks out and I usually eat about a cup.

Your sleeve is swelled right now. As soon as it settles down, you'll figure out how to tell when your full.

My diabetes is also gone.

I had diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and sleep apnea. I did just fine. I'm 5 weeks out and the diabetes is gone.

You need to have a new sleep study done. That's the only thing that can tell for sure.

Definitely be honest. The insurance company just wants to see that you've made efforts in the past and have failed.

Don't worry, you will be fine. I haven't had any trouble at all and would do it again 1,000 times over.

I was sleeved on 3-6-14 and am about 5 weeks out. I have heard a lot of people talk about not experiencing hunger anymore or they at least have very little hunger. I didn't get so lucky and I'm curious if anyone else still has full blown hunger? Let me know your experience please. Dana

I am 5 weeks post op and I gained 4 pounds overnight two nights ago. I did eat a lot the day before though. For some reason I was just really hungry. Oh well, I've already lost 1 pound of the 4 pound gain. I should get the rest off in the next day or two.

Life is a verb, not a noun.

5 weeks post op (3-6-14). Down 28 lbs and my BMI is 32.74.

When my diet restrictions were fully lifted.

I've had the same problem. It helps me to wait 1 1/2 minutes between each bite.

If either of you ladies want my Bariatric Advantage shakes, I'd sell you two big bags for $50 plus shipping. Each bag is open and I've used about 5% out of each bag. There is chocolate and vanilla. I paid $100 for both. Let me know.

Been walking for 30 minutes since two days post-op. In the past week, I started jogging a little over a mile around my neighborhood which contains many hills. I feel great and plan of stepping it up next week. Surgery was on 3-6-14 and I've lost 26 pounds so far. Yay me!!!

I am one month out and I am half way to goal. So excited. My goal is to lose 102 lbs and I've lost 51 since my high weight of 317. My goal is 215 lbs. Yippee.
