True

I had a stall for 2 months about 2 months after surgery and another stall at like 5 months for weeks

I can't believe this is happening today. After I swore to myself last June when I recieved the sleeve, it was a secret. I have had so much success with it and finally opened up to my sister in law this weekend. She reacted exactly the way I knew she would. Judge judge judge! Ugh.... All the typical stuff "You didn't want to go to the gym" "Easy way out" As she said things like how could you not tell me? Then she gossiped about it to friends and family member over the last 4 days!!!!!!! Today she tells me she assumed it was ok to tell people.... And that if I wanted it a secret I shouldn't have told her! I have no idea what to do next.... I am so embarrassed!!!!! Trust no one seriously

Today I am 3 weeks out and have started my soft stage. I have had 2 20oz protein shakes with low fat milk. Then I have had 1/4 cottage cheese twice, 1oz Tuna with mayo, 2 sugar free Popsicles, and 1/4 applesauce, and 1 wedge laughing cow cheese,. After 3 weeks of like nothing, this seems like overload. Is it?

Very sorry for your loss. As horrifying as that must be, we have a lot in common. I am 35 with 4 biological children. )1,3,6,9 I was sleeved on 6/30 Starting weight 186 After 17 days I was 170 ( I'm not gonna weigh in for. Few more days) My bmi was 30 I too did cash pay and insurance covered my hiatial hernia repair. I only told a neighbor that I am super close too and my husband. I hope to never let the secret out to family. They don't have the education about our process and I feel like even if I was blue if the face explaining how tough this has been they will still think it was the easy way out for me. I agree I seen heavy people everywhere an don't understand how they haven't had this done yet

Pre op starts in the morning.......excited..... I feel lucky 5 protein shakes or bars a day plus one small meal of a protein and veggies? Plus 48 oz of water Wish me luck I am so weak, but this seems a lot better than some i have seen

Best of luck, ill be following. I have 20 days to go!

Getting my sleeve june 3oth, excited and i think in denial this is actually going to happen for me. My pre-op will begin june 16th. Its gonna be a struggle, not only because its tough but because i am going to be on vacation with my boys. Taking my 9 and 6 year olds to the beach june 22-25th. Im gonna be looking for support big time.

Hello My date is june 30th! I believe my diet begins next monday. I am going to be on vacation day 7-10 of my pre op diet, hope i dont cheat too bad

I am continuing with this process, no date yet, but last week at testing they said I would be outpatient for the sleeve? I go home same day? Has anyone else done this. Is this because I am cash pay?

Hello I am so confused of what to do. I am going back to true results in richardson and the more I read the more I am all over the place. My bmi is 30, and I am 35yrs. I feel if i dont do this soon i will get bigger and develop health problems. HAs anyone done it with a low bmi???Help Or does anyone wish they did it sooner

Has anyone heard of this invention by dr McCarty? In Plano tx

Omg I am terrified of so many things here, but I really want this Everyone talks about the pain after, r they not taking the medicine? I'm confused

So I really want to do this lap band but have has issues with sticking since childhood. As a child my parents did nothing about it by at 25 in happened so bad I ended up in the ER. I guess I get " rings" on my aspphogus. I have has several upper gi"s to strech it out over the past 10 yrs. I am scared to go through with lap band in fear of all I read about "being stuck". Anyone else have this issue. The sensation is terrifying, I don't understand how people can handle it.

I can't wait to get this done, but will summer vacations get In the way? How many weeks after surgury will I be ok to go away so others don't suspect anything? This is my secret
