My husband has gone through ready4achange and his surgery was scheduled for monday. We were just told he has a new surgeon. Anyone have eperience with this. Information is vety hard to get from them

I am almost one year out and have gone from 234 pounds to 145. I am thrilled with my weight loss but not with my very flabby stomach. Has anyone done surgery to repair the loose skin? I will have to pay and don't know if I should or not. Any advice ?

I feel so discouraged by my stall which has been six weeks. I am noting that I can eat a lot more and am tending to go back to my pre surgery habit of eating my stress. I feel so down about it. Any words of wisdom?

I was sleeved in Mexico on July 1st. I lost 18 pounds before surgery and have lost 50 pounds since then. I am feeling discouraged with myself. I know it sounds like lots of weight but I am afraid of this slow down in the last few weeks. Has anyone else had experience with this? I have been tracking my food and going to the gym and I work full time. I am 58 and want this to work. How long will the weight loss continue? I have heard a year or six months. I am confused. Any advice? Anyone going through the same thing or has gone through the same thing?

I was sleeved on July 1st and chose to do one month before on a liquid diet. I felt great going into surgery and had no complications. I was told it was a head start on weight loss and I am glad I did it that way.

I am four months out of surgery and am having a terrible time with constipation. Any suggestion? Any one else having this problem? What can I take and what can't I take? Thanks

I have gone back to work after the summer break and people are shocked at how much weight I have lost. I have been honest with the people I work with and told them I had surgery. I have noted a complete difference in how some people react. Some are so supportive and some openly sneer. It is so frustrating that some people think obesity is just a matter of eating better and getting exercise. It is not. I am not a stupid person and if it was that easy I wouldn't have gotten obese in the first place. I wish there was more education and research on obesity and it wasn't a blame game. Thanks for the rant.

I am loving my jiggly bits. They remind me of what I am losing and where I was.

Thanks for the candid photos. I too am from BC and was sleeved on July 1st. I am noting skin in my arms but still have a lot of weight to come off. I am really pleased to here from other BC weight loss surgery people.

Nice to talk to a fellow July 1st sleever. I have lost 26 pounds since the day of surgery and 44 since June 1st when I started the presurgery diet. I am still thrilled with the surgery but it is hard to follow the food rules when family gatherings are going on. I haven't hit any stalls yet but am waiting for one to hit. How are you?

Can we take Advil after Gastric Sleeve surgery?

I went to Mexico as self pay. I went to Tijuana and had Dr. Garcia. I had a great experience and would recommend him to anyone. It was not an easy decision to make but I am truly happy I did it.

Hi July sleevers, I was sleeved on July 1st. I am down 39lbs including my pre surgery loss. I have a lot of pain in my upper stomach and was wondering if anyone else had that problem. I am having a down day for the first time since surgery and wondering what the heck I did to myself. I am sure it won't last but just want to hid today.

So nice to see so many Canadians on here. I am from BC and was sleeved on July 1st in Mexico. Good luck all

Hi everyone, how many calories are you eating a day. I am six weeks out from VGS and was eating 500 to 600 a day. Then I re read my instructions and realized I wasn't drinking my protein drinks. Then I added them in and I am now eating 800 to a 1000. I am gaining weight [2 pounds] in the last three days. What should I do? Anyone had experience with this problem. Am I eating too much, I am on mushie foods. Scrambled egg, half a piece of toast, tuna and mayo with 4 soda crackers, and Chili with beans for supper. Then two protein drinks. I measure the tuna and It is 1/2 a cup and the chili is 1/2 cup too. I would appreciate anyone else who was sleeved on July 1st or there about helping me out with this problem. Thanks
