  1. Same here....hadn't had a period in months before surgery. After surgery, I had my period for 2 months straight until it was somewhat regulated with provera.

    Fitness tracker opinions

    I ended up getting the misfit shine and so far very happy with it. The distance accuracy seems pretty right on. I compared it to treadmill reading. It's very comfortable and like that it's waterproof (50m)

    Congrats to you. I dealt with the nausea...not fun but once it was gone it hasn't come back since. Hope you feel better tomorrow.

    Normal?

    Not sure it really has affected the actual sneeze but what happens after definitely is not my normal. It's almost like a vibrating of the insides in my abdominal area that keeps shaking until it settles...usually about 15-30 seconds.

    Normal?

    Hello, I got sleeved on Monday 8/11 and my soreness has gotten better each day. Today is the first day that I am not in much pain when I sneeze but I'm getting this weird wiggly shaky feeling in my stomach area when I sneeze that lasts for about 30 sec after I sneeze. I tried to look up and see if anyone else has experienced this and find nothing. I'm wondering if it's my muscles like a muscle spasm type thing or is it my actual stomach. It takes a while for it to stop. Anyone experience this? Thx for your input.
  7. Hello, I am looking to get a wristband type tracker but see so many reviews in the fitbit, fuel band, jawbone, and garmin. I wanted to see if you can give me your experience with any of these or any others. Appreciate it...thx.

    I a now sleeved

    I was sleeved on 8/11 and had terrible nausea until yesterday when I came home from the hospital. I definitely was regretting it at the time but when I felt better, although still very sore, I still feel like I made the right decision.

    Thx guys...so I'm feeling 90% better than yesterday. I am no longer nauseated and can drink water without terrible pain. I did get a patch for nausea behind my ear so I probably feel better because of that and time. I've had a bad history with the anesthesia and nausea. I really asked myself why did I do this and was regretting it since I was so miserable but tried to remember the words of those on here who said it would pass. I know I'm not out of the woods yet but definitely feel a whole lot better.

    Thanks to all of you. Well, the surgery went well but since then has been really rough for me. I was supposed to leave at noon today but couldn't due to my nausea which is causing me to vomit any liquids :-/ so hopefully tomorrow is the day.

    I lost 5% and I was cleared..I think as long as you're showing progress, you'll be ok.. Tomorrow is the day for me...super nervous and many things going through my head today. Hopefully I'll get some sleep tonight.

    I have not found out about the pre op diet yet but I'm sure I will get more info during my pre op appt Wednesday. Do you know who your surgeon will be at west LA kaiser? I'd really like to know if they select the surgeon or if you have a choice? I'd like to do some background checks to make sure they're well versed in the sleeve surgery. Is that what your having? Thank you for all your info and I wish you the best of luck ! Pls post whatever if any pre op diet they make you do. I'm having my option classes at woodland hills Kaiser sept 19th. So guesstimating you took 5 months. Maybe by February of next year I'll have my surgery.!! Best wishes- DebbieYes, I believe you have a choice because when I had my appt cancelled I would have been able to change surgeons if I wanted. If you request another facility that isn't in your "area" then those that are local to that facility get priority over you. This is how it was explained to me.Yes, I'm getting the sleeve. The pre op diet is to have only liquids the day before and then nothing after midnight...that's it. Was the September 19th class the next available? The program is very informative. There were probably 6 out of the 20 in my class that changed their mind. I feel like they really give you an idea of what you're getting yourself into and gives you 12 weeks to really think about your decision. Although I was 100% sure I wanted surgery at the beginning of the class, about midway through I really questioned if getting the sleeve was the right thing for me. By the end of the class, I knew I was making an informative decision to get the surgery. Good luck to you!
