Head up darling, YOU know how well you are doing..... You know you feel better. its ok...... don't worry. Don't let other lack of DETAIL hurt your feelings and your amazing efforts. My brother knows i had the surg knows i have lost 42 lbs and will REFUSE to acknowledge me , even when someone says "isn't she doing well?" ...silence.

Ive been vomiting almost daily, sometimes multiple times per day since surg sept 1. Im surprised I haven't hit my 130lb loss in just 30 days since almost nothing stays in! The doc said I'm creating too much stomach acid and that i need to take antacid 2x per day. Its a terrible feeling and now since my stomach is so small the time frame from realization of how I'm feeling to the actual event is also much smaller.. ....... Im hoping it will calm down...Im thinking of going back to shakes and fluids only...maybe this will reset me? What do you think....

Hey Vegas, my cuz brought a friend down with her for support and that friend was not permitted to stay the night in the room after the surgery. She was taken via shuttle back to the hotel for the night, then picked up at 6am the next morning and taken back to the clinic. Hope that info helps Dee

Hi all. Been a while to post, back at work and I feel like I'm dragging my butt everywhere! Pretty tired , think it will be better now that we can take the vitamins again. Still bathroom issues but working through slowly. Hard to get all the fluids in when you feel so full off just a few sips. No real pain just some cramping , not sure if its due to the surg or my guts or my time of the month. Wish I took more time off work but I have a lot if alone time so I'm going slowly and at my own pace

Hi good morning everyone! Surg was sept 1 at occ with DrOrtiz all good so far other than occasional nausea. Back at work for a few days now . Probably should have taken more than a week off. Pretty tired but cant seem to sleep its a bit of a rollercoaster. Good luck September Sleevers

Thanks Lori! I hope everyone has a smooth process! First day home....LOL .... Not so smooth ! Still working on it trying to find out what works

Good morning all, my group is leaving TJ for home. We had a great experience at OCC , the team was lovely and kind. Very professional ! We all met some great and supportive people. All around a good experience. The staff at the marriott was amazing , so helpful and fun. They are well versed in the rules after surgery and are there to help in a second. Now..... It starts Good luck everyone:)

How are you doing??? I hope you're well and happy

Thanks Barb! They have ZERO Popsicles We are all doing ok. Jamie left the clinic this AM but I had to stay till noon. So I haven't seen her since yesterday but I think she's ok I'm having some broth then taking Meds then bed! Drain out tomorrow eeeeeeeeeek

Sleeves for everyone!!!!! My cuz, my boyfriend and I are all done. I've had to stay a bit longer due to some vomiting. Nathaniel the young looking nurse came and gave me some meds to help but other than that I'm ok. The worst of the pain was I threw up. Everyone was nice and supportive. DrOrtiz spent about 40mins with my group chatting. It was nice, he's a very energetic confident man. Going back to the hotel soon I hope! Thanks everyone

Still in the waiting room , tic toc tic toc

Thanks !!!!!!! Excited! There are 2 ladies here who had the surg on friday. They are both doing awesome:)

Thanks we are at OCC now and just waiting .....

I'm laying on the bed at the Marriott. Pooped. Zero sleep last night and a day full of travel. Time to relax before surg tomorrow Night all!

September 1. Freaking out.

Thank you for your honesty. I am an avid watcher of the show and always admire the effort and dedication of the participants but have often wondered how that would work for them at home. I hope you are doing well and feeling ok This is no easy way out , this requires the same derivation and effort only in a different way. It's difficult for me to imagine that things will get better , easier..... I'm super nervous about the surgery, about how this will impact my relationship, everything. I really feel like my weight will eventually kill me if I don't get it off. It seems that no matter which way I turn its a struggle..... Just which struggle will I be better at handling?

Oh great news….. But when is this a good option? How long post op?

Hope you did ok. Im totally terrified too, im 8 days out. I feel sometimes like Im crazy and others like It will be great! UGH…...

I hope things went well and you are feeling good

I'm off to the bank tomorrow..... Holy sh*t

My surg is Sept 1 , I will be starting off the month a-new!

Have you tried slushies made at home? crushed ice with your fave flavouring? could even just be a strawberry, texturally would that be easier? Im not sleeved yet just part of my post op plan if i can't tolerate plain Water.

I'm sleeving on Aug 31 I don't know enough and don't feel comfortable myself with plication. So I chose sleeve

Awwwwwwwwe thanks guys People were starting to make me so damn paranoid!!!

I'd be in for that ! Coffee ......
