This is something i had to ask myself because i felt better able to move when i used it. I actually demanded it lol

Thank u justjenn

Hi slowtogo, yeah he is slowly coming around, he revealed that he is scared of me becoming Skinny and leaving him..... Its slowly getting better..... Doesnt hurt that i threaten to draft a divorce ... It scared him to pieces.... Im an attorney so it could be very simple for me..... We are going to therapy... Ty for asking

Yes frank04, thats exactly what they did, injected me over and over with blood thinners... My arm is so bruised up, but today thank goodness things are looking up and im up walking around house thanks for support

Ty kerri

Thats great! I hope i do aswell as you, we have same height and start weight! Keep us posted!!!

Im from staten island, ny ... Good luck with upoming surgery!!

Do u think its bad that i sleep with it?

My doctor only allowed us to be discharged from hospital if we were able to hold down soft foods.... Im 5 days post op.

Im 5 days post opt im getting bearly 500 calories.... Im not hungry... Just trying to stay hydrated and protein.....

I am 5 days post op, i wear it everyday all day long? Anyone else?

Wow, thats awesome, i have no problem keeping things down but scales still havent moved, i guess i will have to be patient.

Kerri have you lost any weight since your surgery date? The only reason i ask is because we had same date. i have not lost a single pound And btw its completely normail cause im having same type of bowel movements.

This may sound weird, but my stomach is swollen on left side, looks like grapefruit under my skin, it doesnt hurt but looks odd. Has nyone ever experience this? Will it go away? Im giving it a few days before i call doc, since i just had operation i think it may go down? Hopefully? And by the way i have not lost a single pound since surgery:(

Dont be nervous just prepare for unexpected.... Im still recovering and its been few days

Thats wonderful! I hope im as successful... I had surgery oct 3 and have not lost a single pound!

I am a strong independent female, my husband was very unsupportive, my mother along with a nanny helped me. you have no idea how absolutely necessary it is to have someone the days following surgery, let me tell you i have high tolerance or pain but this pain was the worst i have ever experienced in my life. Good luck.

Im a few days post opt and i use it everyday, but takes few days to work.

update**** so i am home and i am resting more comfortably. i keep taking pain meds because its the only thing that lets me get through the day, However im very very sleepy. i try to walk a little but its hard. slowly i hope to feel better. i am ble to get my fluids in without any problem. i also had heart to heart conversation with my husband and he explained to me that he is very scared of losing me and thats why he has been a jerk. He promised he would change and not be a jerk anymore. He thinks once i am skinny im going to run out on him. i wish i could hug each of you because i am so grateful for the love and support. i love you all. good luck to all having surgery soon!!!!

im still in hospital, i had surgery oct 3 and let me tell you its the most painful experience of my life. Nothing i read prepared me for the physical pain that followed. I woke up after 3 hrs of surgery in extreme abdominal pain, i have a high tolerance for pain, but this pain was so debilitating, so out of this world. I also woke up unable to breath, like my lungs werent able to function, i had so much morphone pumped into me that all i did was sleep. That first night they wanted me to walk , thats impossible when your pumped with so much painkillers that u dont know who you are. After much convincing i took 4 steps and just about fainted/ vomited. i cannot keep emphazising. the pain. For two days the tried to get me to walk, impossible as i could brealy breath on my own, alot of flem came out of my lungs after a while. the want me to sip, its impossible because i take a sip of gataroda and im about ready to vomit. I cannot stand the smell or look of food... its day 3 and im trying to walk but gas pains are unbearable i begged for gasx..... im feeling a little better but there is no way im ready to go home. Mind you i m at the fanciest hospital in new york city and with all that ive still had complications. Im only 100 lbs overweight and very healthy before surgery. only 3 day clear liquid diet. im in so much pain, i hope/ pray i get better... srry for typing errors im in hosp on pain meds. cornell med center, and before i forget to mention my less than supportative husband has Not visited me once in hospital.... unreal

Congrats don! Stories like this give me hope.... Tomm is my surgery.... You inspire me

Not having energy makes me worry, tomm is my surgery, and i have 2 toddlers......
