I have chronic back pain, I had back surgery a year ago. I've been off work and on disability. Sorry to hear of your pneumonia! I'm weak too!!

Hi I haven't been on for awhile. Sorry! Are you on Facebook? We could message each other.... I'd love to buddy up and take this journey with you!

Hi! I was sleeved on 4/21/14 and would love to share this journey with you.. My surgery went well, but then I came down with pneumonia a few days post surgery and ended back in the hospital for 5 days. Not fun, but I'm getting back my energy each day. I'm also an upbeat, happy person by nature, but this has been a tougher first 3 weeks than I'd anticipated. I need to get back to work ASAP but am still pretty wiped out. No pain and no hunger, which is awesome. I've been craving really cold drinks. . I hope you are feeling well!

I haven't got on the computer to upload my photo into my profile. I want to lose 110 lbs... I'm new to this sight. I did have nausea the first 3-4 days.

Hi, I was sleeved May 2nd in Grinnell, Iowa. I'm down 16 lbs. and doing well.

Sleeved May 2nd in Grinnell, Iowa. I'm doing well! Post op appointment this Wednesday. Walk as much as you can, that helps with gas. Crystal Light helps me get some of my Water in. I also drink sugar free Vitamin water. By day 6-7 I felt better..

I'm on liquids for 6 more days. I'm doing pretty good. I'm not very sore or anything. I get my staples out Wednesday. I'm looking forward to that.

I live 25 minutes from Des Moines, I had the sleeve done by Dr Coster on May 2nd

I'm new to this ap, 9 days into my new journey.

I had my surgery May 2nd, I'm new to this ap.

I want to hear from fellow Iowans that have already done the WLS or preparing to like myself!!!

I had my surgery May 2nd, I'm new to this ap.
