Cool! Thanks! I guess my main concern though are my very large, flabby arms. I imagine I will be very uncomfortable physically. I plan on wearing a tank top, as I sweat like a pig.

Hey thanks for the reply! Yeah it definitely seems like a hard workout but I've heard because it's fun, people go back. A real fat burner too!

Hello! I am over a year out from my Gastric Sleeve surgery. I've recently been entertaining the idea of joining a kickboxing class. I've got a lot of "flab" on my thighs, arms, stomach, and back....or I guess that's just about everywhere! I'll take the flab over the weight any day. I need to buy some comfortable yet appropriate workout clothing for such a strenuous workout. Since I'll be swinging my arms and thighs around, I think it will definitely hinder my performance and also look very scary lol. Does anyone have any suggestions? What do you wear? What have you heard of. Also...I can't spend too much. Thanks!!!

I was sleeved on April 28th and within the past couple of weeks I've felt the most stomach restraint that I have the whole time. Does that usually happen and why?

Well I'm happy to know it happens! Thanks you guys!

I got sleeve on April 28th. All but 2 of my incision sites are completely healed. One of them though had a stitch sticking out of it. Do I just ignore it?

I'm 30, got sleeved on 4/28. I tend to have slight acne problems anyway but last night I went crazy. My face, chest, and back are TERRIBLE!!! my boyfriend tried to help last night with alcohol on my back last night. This is definitely the worst it's been. And my breath isn't so great either. Ahhh!! I'm a monster!!! Haha

This. Is. Awesome.

I'd love to but my surgeon is pretty strict.

I'm on my clear liquid diet and I have to crush my pills twice a day and drink them for two months. I can't take it anymore. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!! Any suggestions on liquids that might make them taste better? They're pretty much not gonna stay down soon. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!

Hey thanks Chris. Where ya moving to?

Hi I live on the North Shore and I was wondering if anyone knows of any counselors that specialize in bariatric weight loos management? I'd like to join a small group as well. I figured I'd check here and see if anyone lives near me. Thanks!!

Thank you

Hey guys! I'm 8 days pre-op and since the very behinning I've had what feels like an abrasion in the area to the left of my belly button. It hurts when I sit, bend, and sit up from laying down. I know that it's not my actual stomach. I thought that it was in incisions, then I thought maybe the staples were rubbing against my skin. Nope. My boyfriend mentioned that the skin could be torn on the inside because if the stretching and pulling from the surgery. Obviously, if it keeps up I will speak to my doctor. Has anyone experienced this?? It is very painful.

I just posted a similar question on the forum and was referred to this one. This is very helpful because I'm 5 days post op and was worried that I was taking in too much at a time. Thank you!
