so dramatic.... the hospital and staff is fine... serious .....people and their stories... really a janitor shooting up.... to funny.... why was she with him in the janitors closet......love the imaginations.... you get creative points....was that in a movie? lol

oh Lordy do I chew gum!!!! I quit smoking two months before surgery .... so ya...chewing gum is fine it's the scare factor of accidentally swallowing that that the rule.... no gum chewing is based on!

I wanna get chocolate wasted!!!

I wanna get chocolate wasted!!!

my surgery was the 24th... I used baby gas drops the first week and it was a life saver and now I always carry around the chewable anti gas/simethicone .... I'm sure it will be part of my life from here out its a lifesaver and can relieve the pressure in your chest plus it's on 88 cents at Walmart

MUST READ!!!!!!! omg.... thought I was dying or wishing I was!!!!!! so I'm like almost a month out from getting my sleeve and having no problems at all at all NONE... oh Lordy did I make up for it....I was having a pain low on my right side kinda in the groin area and low in my back with extreme pressure.... I thought I could wait it out... I wasn't sure what it was or what to do.... my bowel movements was ok no sign of blood and no burning when I pee.... hot shower or heading pad didn't bring comfort nor ibuprofen so I went to emergency room ...... the waiting area was packed I was like fifth to be seen ..... I sat in the corner in a near by area because the pain was getting worse...I sat balled up and rocking to apply pressure... I'm a strong women and can take pain of all sorts but let me tell about this pain.... as the hours crawled by I literally started crying and whimpering that soon went to a pant with sounds of groining that kept the stares coming my way.... at this point I'm not caring and so in pain I feel like I'm going to throw up and blackout all at the same time.... a pastor even ce by and grabbed my hand and prayed over me and probably gave me my last rights but I don't really know it was all I blur.... I get rolled back to the ER because I can't walk and they think its my appendix and is getting ready to do surgery.... I'm crying and acting a fool and just in pain and I went through one bag of IV Fluid and I have to pee so they give me a cup .... I go pee and all of a sudden this calm comes over me and the pain drops to soreness I look in the cup and there is a stone the size of half a peppercorn.... I'm like are you serious it's like I gave birth and that tiny thing brought on all that pain.... they send it off to the lab and the doctor tells me I have a twisted intestine as well which will probably correct it self but to be mindful of it and if there is lower pain again and it's not a stone tell them about the intestine.... most likely the stone was due to the sleeve surgery and may happen again.... they can be brought on by lots of not getting enough fluid or Vitamins or to much Calcium or soda etc. ..... in this case she's not sure until results are back... so today I feel better and probably can't go back there because I acted such a fool but thank god it's over!

I work in the film industry as a director, producer, writer or other and going to school for my bachelors in Business/Sociology

I was hoping to find people that had the surgery in July .... just to compare notes and support each other in the similar journey.....any one?

I love all the updates. I'm 2 weeks out today. I've lost 13 pounds since surgery and lost 12 pre-op. I'm at 210 now. Yeah! I'm supposed to be on full liquids for 4 weeks but I quit doing it this weekend because.... Since surgery, every time I had a Protein Shake or Protein Powder, I would get terrible stomach pain, nausea and diarrhea. When I told them at my post op visit Friday, the ARNP said, "I don't know what to tell you you just have to do it." Well, I'm 43 and have worked in health care long enough to know that when they are full of s--t, you have to take responsibility for yourself. Clearly my surgeons office does surgery and not aftercare. I did some research and I believe I'm lactose sensitive and whey sensitive now. I started soft foods and feel 100 percent better. I was getting maybe 2 or 3 hundred calories. Today I had about 1000 calories, hit my Protein goal and feel human again. I did go to GNC today and bought brown rice and soy protein. I plan to try those as well.

Quite a few of my friends that have had it done had a hard time with fish at first...Always remember to try "new" things independently so you know which one does not cooperate with your stomach. Try only Beans at one meal, then try fish at another...then you will know which one NOT to return too

yes your very correct... I guess I needed to hear it from other people in the same boat.... I'm just ready to get started and I feel ready but I don't want to wreck this privilege.... sounds like I need to get my act together and reign it in!
