    jinvegas got a reaction from Susan-031314 in Who is in March?   
    I got my sleeve on March 4th and have lost 59 lbs since. My journey has been good so far. My Hair loss has kicked in but I've been expecting that. There have been no complications so I can't complain. NSVs lately has been going to my hometown for a wedding last week and be described as "skinny" "tiny" and "small". I've never been described this way before.
    I'm happier and would do this over again in a heartbeat.

    The first week seems to be the worst. I also struggled with regret and cried most days of the first week. Just know that it gets better. I'm going on three weeks post-op and the first week seems so long ago. Keep your head up and welcome to the losers bench!

    jinvegas got a reaction from TD Pride in Dr. Umbach - Las Vegas   
    I just had my two week post op with Dr.Umbach and everything went great. What I thought was odd was that I was expecting him to clear me on puréed foods but instead, said I could eat normal food! What?!! I'm not complaining, just thought it was weird. He said " you could eat puréed foods if you want but Normal food is ok to eat." Uh duh I want normal food! Lol! I also lost 21lbs since surgery which was two weeks ago.

    I just got sleeved on March 4th by Dr. Umbach and he did great! Actual surgery time was thirty minutes. I know what you mean about his dryness but just know it's nothing personal. Don't hesitate to ask questions, he will answer anything and everything. I feel like that's more his style anyways. The staff at Dr. Umbach office us great too!

    Walking helps a lot. I know it gets really uncomfortable but I preferred that pain over the gas. Also try a heating pad on your shoulder area it might help a little. Hope you feel better soon JurneeOfOne

    I was just sleeved on March 4 and I'm feeling great! Dr. Umbach is phenomenal (so far ). My surgery lasted about 30 minutes and I was up and walking around about an hour later. My recovery at home was good, I was at the mall shopping four days later. One week post-op I have lost 16lbs. I'm super excited for my journey and hope to get to meet you ladies as well.
