  1. It's been two months I'm starting to worry. Thanks for the advice!
  2. I'm almost eight weeks out and haven't had a period... Has anyone else experienced this?
  3. Thanks everybody!!! Each day I get a little better. I was able to go back to work last week and that's keeping my mind off any future surgery and food. Good luck all!
  4. I'm six weeks out and it's been a rough road. Seeing results like this motivates me to keep going. http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=42.961696,-78.901123&zoom=14&markers=42.961696,-78.901123&size=400x300&sensor=true
  5. Dr cavaretta, I've had nothing but regrets I'm always sick. How are things going for you?
  6. Thanks! It was found by doing a upper GI study. Worst case I will need a bypass. If I had the chance to do it over again I wouldn't choose surgery.
  7. It happened to me, I was told I was my surgeons first mistake out of the 500 procedures he performed. It's been a tough four weeks to say the least.
  8. I have three options none if which are appealing. First they are going to try an endoscopy to try and widen the sleeve. If that isn't successful they will have to cut a hole in the sleeve and worst case they will have to cut out more of my stomach and intestines like a bypass patient. I'm starting to ask myself why me???
  9. I was also sleeved on 7-21-14 and I to am extremely dizzy. I had an upper GI test done yesterday and got the results today. My surgeon informed me out of 500 surgeries I was his first mistake. My sleeve was made to narrow so the food won't stay down. I don't have any good advice for you but you are not alone. Good luck to you I hope you feel better soon!
  10. I was sleeved July 21st. I'm down 13lbs since surgery and 43lbs all together. I'm having a hard time with eating the smallest thing fills me up for the day. I feel like I'm doing this all wrong I can't get in the protein and I'm still having trouble walking. Anyone else having these problems?
  11. The pre op diet is very hard but for me it got much easier after the fourth day. I'm also having mine at ecmc with dr. Carauana on Monday. Good luck to you.
  12. Surgery Monday... I'm so nervous and excited. I haven't been able to get the shakes down I've only been having one every other day I'm hoping that doesn't effect the shrinking of my liver???? I'm down 19lbs since I started the liquid diet and 29 all together. So excited!!! Good luck to all.
  13. Thank you all for your help and support!!!
  14. Thanks I'll try the shots I've tried three different brands and still can't tolerate them
  15. I'm on day 3 of the liquid diet I don't feel ridiculously hungry but I cannot drink the shakes. Day one I had a half of one, day two one, and today nothing. I'm nervous about what my doctors going to say. Anyone else have this problem???
  16. They told me I have to use the bariatric fusion but there awful. Thanks I'll try those.
  17. Started my liver reduction diet today and I hate the protein shakes. Any suggestions would be great thanks!!!
  18. July 21st!!! Good luck everyone!
  19. Is anybody else with medisource having trouble scheduling their surgery at synergy???
  20. Thanks for the advice! I to feel awkward in most situations due to my weight, joining would probably be good for me. How much are the classes?
  21. I just had my evaluation at synergy today and I just found out about these meetings. Do you guys find them helpful???
