Yes, I am almost a year out and for me any type of foods or drinks that are in high sugar causes major dumping, but everyone is different.

@@ShrinkingPeach I am not a disagreer, but want her to be encouraged I did add for her to continue her eatting habit, but a healthy eatting habit!

You're not doing nothing wrong, you will have stalls. I am 9 months out, i've had several stalls and wondered the same so I continued my Protein, workouts and healthy eatting, today I've lost a total of 68 lbs and 27 lbs away from my goal. Continue to work at it and you will see results, they may not be quick results like some, but you will, hang in there.

Yes, going back to basics, started hitting the gym and list 2 lbs this week ????

@DennisMorris no I had my band removed and sleeve the same day

That is natural as I was the same way @@shermcky but after the pain, when you are on your feet,it's so worth it the results are wonderful. Now I have people telling me to stop losing weight when I am 30 lbs away from my goal.???? Good luck to the New U!

Awww thanks sis????????

Awww thanks sis????????

I am wondering has anyone experienced a stall after losing so many pounds? After losing 58 pounds, I'd like to lose about 32 more, but I've been at a delay/stall for the past 3 months. Any help on how to get back on the weight lost track? My eating habits has not changed, I love that I still can't eat a lot of food and eat small meals through the day, no carbs, and I excersie 2-3 times a week. Any suggestions would help

@@lynziv yes this is natural, I was the same way it will and should pass, you will start to get more comfortable each day

@Amberleach, Congrats and you have every reason to be excited. My advice after surgery is don't rely on the scale, so many are disappointed that the weight isn't falling off but inches will be trimming you and before you know it the weight will start to melt away ????

Thanks @@thesuse2000 and @@CowgirlJane

Thanks @@proudgrammy

As I approach the 4 month anniversary of my revision, I must say I have NO REGRETS!!! I am so glad I went through the process. I had my band removed and sleeved in one surgery Sept 18, 2014. So far my eating is wonderful and I am loving my sleeve. No stuck foods, no spitting up and when I am full, I am just full. There is no reason to over eat with sleeve, you just have to maintain and eat healthy stay away from junk. Are there temptations...of course because I am a cocktail LOVER LOL! I do have my cocktails but like my foods, I have it in moderation and don't over do it. I feel my body transforming and I so love that feeling of seeing a better looking, none tired, more healthier ME!

To compare the band and the sleeve, there is no comparison. The band I had back in 2006 was not the band for me and I am VERY satisfied with my sleeve. If you are thinking about the sleeve, know that it is the best decision you will give to your health

Not Semien. ..the Dr.

No, still have my gallbladder . I am feeling a bit better, the Semien told me to try Zantac and mylanta, so far so good. ..thanks

I have this all of a sudden pain (5) at the top of my stomach and bra line, bedding run to the ER, has anyone experienced this pain????

Can I ask you guys what the name of your plan was for BCBS? And did you have to do a 3 or 6 month supervised diet before the surgery? Thanks

I have the PPO HSA plan, no supervised diet required

Hi, I am 3.5 months postoperative of the Gastric sleeve. I keep getting incredibly itchy rashes sometimes on arms and legs. Yesterday, all over my left leg and some on my right leg. My legs look like someone could read Braille by them!

that was the same for me, it was the Calcium intake, I had to take a smaller dosage and they started to go away

@@mimisturn yes that area will take longer, about 1 month after surgery (for me)

I'm scheduled for the revision on Dec 9. Can't wait to enjoy the sleeve happy to hear that you're doing so great!![/quote

Congratulations, it feel so natural your gonna love it...see you on the loser side ????

Glad to here and congrats. I'm pending approval for lap band to sleeve revision and I glad that I won't have to deal with being stuck again.

You will love it, you will get full, no stuck foods with the sleeve☺

So let me get this straight, even though your loosing "Pounds" your actually looking thinner because your loosing "Inches" as well which doesn't reflect on the scare....did I get that right?

Yes @@Eclectick the inches comes off before the pounds, but keep in mind everyone is different. My Dr told me everyone looks at the scale and not the tape. For me the inches are melting ????

@A. Shoot, what do you mean good to your tummy?

I mean don't eat any slider foods, eat high Protein healthy foods, because slider foods are what gets you off the loosing track

Oh yes it's definitely worth it @@mimisturn especially if you are good to your new tummy
