Hi! I am just a little over a month out and I am not losing weight! I am following the dr instructions and I am staying in the same spot and even went up a pound!! I am so upset and starting to regret even having the surgery. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks!

Was sleeved on March 3rd. Is there anyone on the forum that shares the same date? I would love to hear from you and see how you are doing?

Hi everyone! It has been a few days since I have posted. I had my surgery March 3rd. Everything went great. I stayed in the hospital 2 nights and almost 3 because my heart rate was elevated. Luckily it went down and I was able to go home. I have been doing great! Pain is minimal now and I couldn't be happier. I had a hernia surgery a few years back and it hurt a lot more and was an outpatient procedure.
Anyhow, I am so happy I did this and can't wait till I start seeing results.

Good morning! Well today is the day. I will be sleeved at 730 am. I am excited but very nervous! I have such wonderful friends and family who are so supportive and loving and a wonderful husband and kids. I couldn't be happier about that!

Hi everyone! Well the day is almost here! I have my surgery at 7:30 am on Monday morning. I am excited but also getting really nervous. I know it'll be ok though! I can't wait till I start losing weight!

A anyone scheduled on this day?

Wow! You look amazing! That is great!! Are you working out? I don't have a surgery date set yet but it'll probably be in March! I hope I'm as successful as you are!

Just got home from my consult and I was approved to have the sleeve! I still have to see the pulmonologist tomorrow for clearance, and go to an all morning or afternoon workshop and then we can schedule surgery! It looks like it'll probably be somewhere around the first two weeks of March! I'm so excited!

Wow! You look amazing! What size did you start out at? And how long did this take you?
Good for you!!

Nursekimberly it worked!! Success! Lol! If anyone else is having this problem, get U by Kotex. I haven't been able to wear a tampon for a long time and now I can!

Hi ladies! I have a question! I never had anyone to ask this before so I am happy to have this app and the powder room for women only.
I am wondering if anyone else has trouble using tampons while overweight? I haven't been able to use them for a very long time because I can't get it in and I can't bend the right way to do it cuz it hurts. I also have to use two pads at a time or I leak all over. Does anyone else have this problem? Does it get better with weight loss? Thanks!

Happy New Year everyone! How are you all doing? I hope everyone is well!

Hi everyone! Happy New Year! I am just wondering if anyone has or had this problem? I don't have a surgery date set yet. I am hungry all the time! It seems I can't get full a lot of times. After surgery will this change with my smaller stomach and all? I sure hope so. It is very frusterating now.

Hi everyone? I have been reading all your posts. I'm so happy to see all these responses!!
I don't have to wait with my insurance so I feel lucky! I am impatient so I would hate waiting 6 months or even 3 months!
I hope we all can stay in touch throughout this whole process! It is so nice to have this app and all of you!

Wow! 3 months off? That is great! I would love to keep in touch throughout this journey. I am not sure yet when my surgery will be. I'm hoping for feb. But we will see.

Congratulations!! You look great! When did you have your surgery and how much have you lost? I don't have a date yet for mine! I can't wait to get out of the plus size clothes!! It is so depressing! I am so happy for you!!!

Oh thank you so much! My name is Stacie by the way!
So, how is your weigh loss coming? I am so glad you are doing great!!
I have all of my appts scheduled with all drs to get the ok for surgery the first half of Jan! My consultation with the bariatric dr is the 15th. I had to go to a seminar first. And then insurance was approved and now this is my 3rd step I guess you could say.

Hi everyone! Is there any foods you can't have after to are cleared for a regular diet again? My best friend had gastric bipass a few years ago and she can not have popcorn or rice ever again she was told! I love popcorn!! Especially when going to the movies. I can't imagine having to give that up all together! Thanks everyone! I'm just starting the process but trying to get as much info as I can!

Just got off the phone with the dr office! My insurance has been approved! Woohoo! And I already filled out health history so I now have my first appointment which is Jan 15th at 2:15. I have a bmi of 56 and some conditions so the lady I talked to said that's all I need for approval! I'm so excited! I'm nervous too! I wish I didn't have to wait till the 15th though! It seems so far away!

Thanks so much! I just realized that my bmi was calculated wrong because I put in a wrong number. My bmi is 56.1.

M excited but nervous! I go for an informational meeting on wed! The person I talked to said that is the first step. Did anyone else have to do this as well before seeing the dr? I was relieved to find a place that took my insurances. I have Medicare and Medicaid.
