  1. It's normal. I can drink like no other and my dr said it won't stretch your stomach. Your stomach will stretch if you deliberately overeat. And it takes years to. Thats what my dr told me anyways.
  2. Sleeved 8/26 HW-266 PSW-259 CW-230 36 pounds lost total.
  3. I'm doing good! 32 lbs down and feeling 90% like myself again. How about you?
  4. Aww thank you all!!!! God bless.
  5. Copay or deductible? If its deductible my hospital stay an all my testing at the Texas General hospital ate up my deductible and I didn't have to pay anything up front. Just my copays each visit and 250. Scheduling fee that went towards the surgery balance. Also get 3 months free post-op. I have Aetna and that's my experience with dr Kim.
  6. I am 3 weeks out and started. Is there anything I can take for my cramps.
  7. My dr said he couldn't give me antibiotics for 3 months.. Why?

    God bless you all.
  9. Just asked my dr this today.. He said its not gonna expand your sleeve just gonna hurt a little. Told him don't hurt then he said good we don't want you to! Lol.. I'm only 1 week out and I gulp
  10. I've had the same pain. It feels like a pulled muscle. I was wondering if it was normal as well.
  11. I had Dr. Kim it went very well. I had DiDi and Merylene as my nurses and they were good. My friend and her husband also went thru Dr. Kim. we were very pleased. Just make sure you get up as often as possible to walk. I was walking 6+ laps on my own so she wouldnt wake me up every 2 hours. LOL that was our agreement. Bu t was in my everyday clothes later that day and walking and sleeping. Good luck
  12. I didn't have one as well. I was sleeved 8/26
  13. Wow! Thanks for the inspiration! You look amazing!
  14. One thing I can suggest is If they say quit smoking plz do its so hard breathing after surgery. I used vapor as well and the pain of not breathing is unbearable. So advice YES do stop!!!!
  15. Same thing here I came home weighing 7lbs heavier than what I went in. I've never slept on my back but found that laying on my right side with a pillow under my side and one between my legs helped so much. I haven't had anything really to eat just Water and Popsicles. Not hungry. Also know that walking relieved my gas and helped with soreness. 3 days out now I'm finally showing lbs loss on the scale. What I'm having trouble with is the Vitamins how and when to take them. Plus my antidepressant medz can't stand to open" the capsule and taking it with water Just like that bleh!
