So I totally hate taking my monthly progress pics. I don't know why. You would think I would look forward to it. I think I just worry that I won't see any progress and sabotage myself. Anyway..... I took some tonight. I've been wearing the same clothes each time, but I had to wear a different shirt this time because the original one hung off me.

SO..... 77.4 pounds later, 55 more to go, here I am at 4 months post op.

Great job...What Did u eat or What are u eating?

I don't mind them asking as I was open with them about my wls so I kinda brought it on myself. However it is surprising just how forward some people can be. I'm starting to get to a point where instead of a number I'm just gonna say' alot' and leave it at that.

You and all of us are doing great. Keep up the weight lost1

I'm nearly 8 months post-op and have just spent the worst night ever with my first ever experience of acid reflux it's awful!! Acid burning right up into my throat all night and now I have a croaky painful throat. This is bad in so many ways not least because I'm a singer and I really cannot have my voice affected by this. I rang my provider and they started me on 20mg Omeprazole a PPI morning and night. I have tried chewing on gaviscone in between and still have a really burning throat. I've got a gig in 2 days from now and I am croaking! Will I be ok in time now I've started on the meds does anyone know?

Is anyone having soreness

hair lost is from the medication ursodiol? Were you all told that?

It will get better. Remember the stalls have to come due to the fact your body is going thru changes. Hang in there its gets better.

Could it be that you slept on that side for the last 5 weeks?

Hello all! I'm 16 days post op and a few days ago, I started feeling this sharp pain on my lower left abdominal area, by my belly button. It hurts when I sit and/or lay the wrong way. I can't bend down like I was able to prior to a few days ago. At first, I thought it may be gas but I have regular BM's and I am able to pass gas. Also, the pain is nowhere near my incisions. Has anyone experienced this?

Hi have u had a chance to Call your doctora?

Anyone experiencing zinging sensations around their belly button área?

Yummie...Hows everyone's incision healing.

Yes Its works for me too.

Thanks for sharing my puree stage will begin on Wednesday I just n eeded something different today for that moment.

I tried some SD Jello carmel pudding today? Has anyone tried and SD puddings or yogurt yet?

Thanks everyone for your advice. I thought the acid meds were like the pain meds and for an " as needed" basis. I'm going to fill my prescription now and if the pain doesn't go away, i'll call the surgeon on monday.

Thanks again! I really appreciate this.

The acid meds is exactly for what u are feeling they will take the acid and pressure away.

Started at 303 weighed yesterday at 284. Down 19lbs. We are well on our way.

Hello

I am one week one post op today. Been feeling really well these past couple of days. No real pain. Sitting up all day and walking around. No naps. Able to hold liquids etc.

However I woke up this morning to my menstrual cycle after not having one for six months. My GYN said it stopped probably due to my weight. Is it possible that this surgery could have already triggered a my monthly cycle? I don't know how much I has lost as I don't have a scale yet. I go for my follow up appt tomorrow and will find out. My husband keeps telling me it looks like I has lost 15-20 pounds.

Anyone else experience this?

Yes Yes and Yes. My cycle came yesterday ..woke up today with bad cramps.

Please add me to the newbies list for 12-18-13

Hi, I just recently joined and was hoping to find some other people who also had Band to Sleeve revision around the same time I did. I had my lap band in 2010 and had all the usual complications. On December 20th 2013 I had the band removed and the sleeve done all in the same procedure. I was hoping to find some others to keep in touch and provide each other support throughout the stages! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

I had my reversion from band to sleeve on Dec 18, 2013. I healing fine. I have a sore throat.

Thank you isleeve and endure for you great suggestions... I have actually been boiling apple cider vinegar, raw honey, lemon juice and tea bags together and drinking that since about 10pm last night and I feeling much better. I made a big mug for work this morning and about to make another now... Thanks you again for the great advice, it's greatly appreciated. Nothing is going to stop me from getting this sleeve on Tuesday.

My Hw 303lbs Sw 297 Cw 289.
