En Route to Tijuana, sleeved tomorrow!!

How was your sleeve? Hope all went well?

Are you on Android or iOS ? We've been due for app upgrades for quite some time now. I believe we're going to release a new Android version next week. With iOS to follow shortly thereafter.

Tracking is something we're working on but it's going to be another 4-12 months until it's actually available.

Please restart the app and make sure you're actually logged in.

Android and yes I have done all that.

I wish you were able to see more of people's profile information within the app. Also when you go in to make changes to things on your stuff it kicks you out of the app into the main website which is frustrating because it is not formatted for a mobile device when it does that and run really slow and awkard. I still have yet to see where you can track your weight and eating WITHIN the APP as it suggest????

You are not alone. When I first joined earlier this week, I tried to upload from my Galaxy Note 3 and it kept loading sideways. I had to redo it like 5 times. Irritating to say the least.

I had my sleeve on May 7th, 2014. To my surprise it has gone really well. I did not have any pain medication until I got ready to leave the hospital (I think that was just because I thought I should have some). And there after really had no need for any. And believe me I am not one for pain. I have 5 small incisions that were covered with a glue type sealant. My doctor gave me a prescription of a cream for the scar that was for pain and another for the scar to heal better. I have B12, prilosac, Iron , Calcium caltrate, and Vitamin D. I think I am most impressed with the lack of pain. I still have a hard time scarfing down ALL 60 grams of Protein because it is almost like my stomach crittles up when I drink something. I don't have a lot of energy either probably because of the lack of protein. I WAS (Lord, knows if I will be now) a BIG Mexican food eater. I could eat it Breakfast (breakfast burroto, etc), lunch (tortilla Soup, etc) and dinner (enchalidas, etc). Has anyone had any trouble tolerating Mexican food? Any other tips for post op?

Hi SweetCryss,

Congratulations and welcome to the "losers bench". Most of us on this thread had gastric bypass, so I don't know about eating Mexican food after a sleeve. You might want to ask the May sleeve group on this site at: http://www.bariatricpal.com/groups/400-may-2014-sleevers/

Good luck

Janette

Opps. I thought I was on the sleeve one. Thanks

I'd suggest going strictly by the numbers until you are healed enough to be able to clearly feel the difference. My doc gave me a schedule of how much Protein shake to eat and how often, and how much water/fluids to have a day. That's what I stayed with for the first two weeks, and now I can tell pretty clearly the difference between head hunger and real hunger - but I sure couldn't until the last few days! Also try warm fluids if your stomach feel like it's cramping. Cold was hard for me. Tummy mint or Sleepytime tea were great for that! Hang in there girl, it'll get easier!

Thanks! I started adding Soups today with my Dr. permission and I think it threw me a little with the excitement to my taste buds

I told a Very limited few!!! My parents, husband, best friend and Co worker.

I had my sleeve on May 7th. I am so confused as to if I am having hungry pains or stomach pains?????????? Not sure if I need a Protein Shake or if I am full already or if my stomach is just cramping. I am sooooo confused. Good Lawd this weird!!!!!!!

You might get some more quotes. A girlfriend of mine had a Tummy Tuck, breast lift and augmentation, and a rejuvenation of her lower girly bits all for $15,000 from a respected surgeon in a prestigious area of the DFW metroplex. Maybe there's more competition here and that lowers the price? Not sure. I'm a long way off from that process personally. Best of luck!

Who was the Dr?

I had my surgery May 5th. I was scared and nervous but was so pleasantly surprised. It seems to have been so easy. Other than a little tenderness at the incision sites, I have had no pain, and best of all, NO HUNGER! You all will do great and I am excited for yall!

Same results here. Had mine on the 7th

I got the same letter from BCBS. I was going to call surgeon's office just to check, but I kind of figured it was like skellertx says. The default is 1 day.

I did not stay in the hospital overnight at all. I also had my surgery by way of hiatal hernia repair method. My doctor just did all my test to make sure I was ok to be released and I was in my bed for the night. No problems or complications!

I don't have a lot of energy either probably because of the lack of protein. But just curious what kind of Soups you eat in week 2. I am big Bisque eater. I love mushroom bisque, tomatoe bisque, lobster and crap bisque, etc? Also I WAS (Lord, knows if I will be now) a BIG Mexican food eater could eat it breakfast, lunch and dinner. Has anyone had any trouble tolerating Mexican food? Any other tips for post op?
