  3. 5 days post op. Only issue is the runs, hoping that this is because the only thing going in is liquid, so I figured that is what is going to come out. Trying to figure out head hunger vs real. I over did it yesterday and an active morning with my 3 boys, it sure wiped me out that afternoon.
  4. 3 days post op, doing pretty well, not in any real pain, keeping liquids down.

  13. My wife was sleeved in september. Her recovery was 2 nights. She had a hernia repair otherwise it could have been next day. I did not stay with her and i did not see anyone else staying with them. She was really stoned while there, so she did not care if i stayed the night. The rooms were private.

  17. Holy crap!! That is great.
  18. Okay, so the insurance company realized that me not being as fat anymore would cost them a LOT less money than me continuing to be fat. So now pre-surgey testing? What does that involve? Anal probes and bend over and cough? Perhaps a sample in a jar? IDK, enlighten me please
  19. Good afternoon, I am a fellow fat guy. I met with a doc on the 17th of August, had my psych eval on the 25th, waiting on insurance approval. Should not be an issue as I have a whole host of issues due to being a big fat guy. I'm 38, current weight is 280, 5' 9''. Married 14 years, wife is going to have the sleeve on the 5th of November. I'm excited to no longer be a fat guy. Excited to be able to be active with my 3 boys. Excited to be able to go to ceder point next year and fit in the seats!! Anthony
