I forgot to post my stats yesterday, so here they are: HW 264 SW 254 CW 242

Hi, I was also sleeved on May 27th. I just started back on cream soups and protein shakes today. I've been on clear liquids for the past week. I have lost 17.8 pounds since May 20th which is when I started my pre-op diet.

Good afternoon! I was sleeved on May 27th and have recovered pretty well. I had no gas pains in the hospital and very little when I got home. Most of my abdomen is feeling ok except for the large incision on the left where the stomach was removed. It feels like a cramp that you get when you're running except is not a cramp it's pain. I hopes that makes sense! I thought it was gas but I used the Gas X strips with no relief. I was also constipated and my nurse at the office told me to take some Milk of Magnesia which helped me go. The pain however was there before I used it. Does anyone have any suggestions? On a more positive note, I have lost 17 pounds since starting my pre op diet on May 20th.

Hey ladies, I was sleeved on the 27th as well and couldn't see a darn thing! The day after I got home I called the office because I was a little freaked out. The nurse asked me if I still had my nausea patch on that the hospital put on before surgery and I told her yes. She told me to remove it and see if things get better. So I took it off and it has slowly improved.

I was so thrilled to see my surgeons office calling me this morning to set up my surgery. I have a pre-op class on May 13th, EGD on May 22, and surgery on May 27th. What seemed like forever when I started this journey in October, seems to be sailing along now. I can't wait.

I'm sad to report that I got a call yesterday that my insurance isn't approved. I used my prescrition card like everyone said to do and I had noticed that many had the same prescription provider that I have and they were being approved. Oh, well!

I will be on May 27th. Seems like forever away but I know it will be here before I know it.

No date just yet! Pulling for May 27th

I just finished my 6 months on Thursday and everything went in on Friday. Good luck!
