I would call the doctor to provide them your symptoms. I had absolutely no pain on any incision, or pain what so ever post op.

are you truly hungry or are you mind hungry?? 10 days post op, I was still on a liquid diet about to enter the pureed stage. You might be tired of liquids.

I'm about to enter my 4th week post op and have not had any issues so far. I took 2 weeks off (3 days 2 nights were spent in the hospital) for the sleeve. I'm back at work with no issues. Plus walk 5 days a week with no issues. Everyone sleeve journey is differnt though.

I would highly recommend going to see your doctor ASAP. I wouldn't even call, just show up and say you're having issues with one of the stitches. Better to be safe than sorry. I wish you well!!

I was told right away by the sleep tech as my results were that bad. I was then informed by my doctor of the results and was fitted for a BIPAP and mask within 5 days. NOTE: The BiPAP is used to treat severe obstructive sleep apnea. I've never herd of BIPAP until this. I love it ever since the first night. I feel very rested now. But I cannot wait to loose enough weight to hopefully not need the BIPAP anymore.

Amazing results...congrats!!

Glad to hear you're feeling better and going home.

Here was my program... Hospital stay: clear liquid diet Week 1 & 2: liquid diet Week 3: pureed phase Week 4 & 5: soft food phase Week 6 & beyond: 3 small meals with 2 Snacks - low calorie intake. Very important to get at least 60 ounces of Water and hit your Protein intake daily. Hope this helps!! Good luck.

I was sleeved on 8/26/13 by the surgeons from The Kane Center. My Surgeon was Doctor Pete Rantis. He is amazing!! I had the sugery at Alexians Brothers Hospital in Elk Grove Village.

Sounds amazing...Thank you; Thank you; Thank you!!

Fiddleman, I absolutely love reading you post. You're truly an inspiration to us new sleevers. I definitely hope to have the mindset you do at the year mark. I want to do so much right now (3 1/2 weeks post op) but have to remember to take it easy now and once fully recovered dive right in. I've always been athletic and really loved working out even at my heaviest weight (417). I can't wait to get started and finally start seeing the results I longed for. I currently walk 3 miles a day 5 days a week and started to speed walk this week. I can't wait to start Insanity and work my way up to cross fit. Thanks again for the inspiration!! BTW..I would definitely do the run you posted if I was in your shoes.

Absolutely amazing results...very fast results too!! Congrats on the new you, you look 10 years younger. You said no exercise, only walking once a week. What are you eating? Daily calorie intake? Share your secrets my friend.

Amazing...what an in great milestone to reach!! Keep up the great work. How long did this milestone take to reach?

Simple, not being comfortable to take any family pictures with my wife and two boys. Not comfortable traveling, especially when traveling 50% of the year. Shopping at the big boy store...and they usually have extremely skinny people working there, asking for bigger sizes which sucks!! And a Million other reasons...

Congrats on your work out program. That's a major milestone!! I cannot wait to start a work out program. I'm not cleared until 5 weeks post. I have a week and 1/2 left.

Amazing job!! You look happier and younger. Congrats!! Thanks for the inspiration.

Great job...keep it up!!

Amazing results!! Congrats...you look so happy now!!

That's great newd...Congrats!!

You're in the hospital, provide all your symptoms to your nurse or primary tech. They can consult with your surgeon office or oncall surgeon. This is the best place you can be at right now. Disclose every discomfort you have any strange feeling. Better to be safe than sorry.

To be honest, not to good, but my nutritionist provided me mixing examples with the different flavors. The best was the chocolate flavor mixed with fat free milk, banana and ice. Next was the chocolate flavor mixed with fat free milk, Peanut Butter and ice.I lived off those two for the majority of my two weeks.

I have BCBS IL, and once I met all the insurance criteria... 1) psychologist clearance 2) nutritionist clearance 3) primary doctor clearance ( recent blood work) 4) pulmonary clearance Took me one month to complete. I was extremely motivated. I was sleeved one month after my initial doctor appointment Some insurance companies require a 6 month supervised diet.

Simply amazing. Enjoy life to the fullest...this is why we all started this journey, to enjoy everything that was out of reach for us before we started this journey!! I cannot wait to be able to travel comfortably...as I travel allot for work. Great inspiration for us new sleevers...Thanks for sharing your success!!
