Same here..I've learned to eat smaller bites, chew more & take more time in between bites. No pain since making that adjustment. Was sleeved 1/20/14.

Been a while since I showed my BP pals some love...I'm 10 days out doing really good with my sleeve. Taking it day by day. I pray all is well with you all. (All who have been sleeved this month and all that are still waiting in line). So excited to be on this journey with each of you! Cheers to us for taking this big leap and re-claiming our lives!

Cheers to us for taking this big leap (what many in our culture view as taboo & UN-natural) and re-claiming our lives!

Sending prayers for a successful surgery & speedy recovery

It's not that bad...I was sleeved Monday and I'm doing really good. No nausea/vomiting, ect...I think you're gonna do fine, especially as you have already had some experience with WLS. Best wishes!

My out of pocket was $2000.00 but it includes a out of pocket max so I won't have any other copays for the remainder of the year. It was a little steep on my pockets, but worth it.

Sending up prayers for your successful surgery also...they key in my opinion is to go slowly with your sips and to start walking the minute your doctor lets u out of bed. Best wishes

I was sleeved on Monday, surgery went well. Arrived at hospital at 8am was on surgery by 11:30, was in room by 2:30pm.woke up with a NG tube down my nose (my MD does as a protocol to prevent vomiting) also had a drain.Was NPO until 24 hours. On Tuesday morning was given leak test with horrible tasting blue dye. (abt 5 oz) it took my 2 hours to drink, but no leaks. Then they gave me a 20oz water bottle with crystal lite. That took me 6 hours to drink. MD d/c me around 6pm and I was able to sleep in own bed last night. So far no nausea or vomiting...incisions & tummy muscles very sore. (Hard to get in/out of bed). But all in all things are going well. My new schedule includes walking and sipping.

You look great! Congratulations! My question would be have you experienced any negative responses to your weight loss, such as "your getting too skinny" or "don't lose anymore, your looking too frail". I'm scheduled to be sleeved on 1/20/14 and I wonder if people who got used to you heavy are concerned that your too small now? ( I think it's weird when we're overweight no one voice thier concerns, but when you have massive weight loss, everyone has a voice of concern). Also how long did it take you to know when your full (before regurgitating) and know when to stop eating? Thanks in advance! Best-wishes for your continued success
