Nice list

My "big girl panties" are too big. I am down a size!

Good luck to both of you. it will be nice to have someone going through the same thing.

Congratulations! Have a safe trip home.

I like to get the grilled shrimp skewer from Capt. D's.

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations!!!

Those are interesting. I have never seen them before. There were no reviews so I would be interested in hearing if someone has used them.

I am doing fine. Walking 2-3 miles a day and happily enjoying my soft diet.

Prayers and best wishes.

Congratulations, let the journey begin.

I'm 4'11". I had surgery on 10/20.

I had the patch, compazine, and zofran. Still spent 3 days vomiting.

Congratulations!

A-Mazing! you have done a great job. Your hard work really shows.

I am a week out and find i need frequent rests. i am walking 2 miles a day but it is split up throughout the day. I had really bad nausea on day2-4 and they treated with Zofram and compazine around the clock. hop that helps, and Congratulations!

Gratz to all today's sleevers. Best wishes and prayers headed your way.

it was 5 days for me before I went, and then it was loose. I figured it would be until more solids go in.

Another reason local MD's are hesitant to follow up with cases done in Mexico has to do with payment. If you have been denied by your insurance company and choose to pay for surgery out of pocket, in or out of country, then you are responsible for all follow up care. Most insurance companies do not pay for procedures/follow up related to a denied or non covered service. That also means that any complications you may have are on you to pay for. Doctors have enough trouble getting payments from claims and do not want to have to deal with patients.

I was sleeved by Dr. Portenier from Duke Metabolic Weight Loss Center. Was SO impressed by him and everyone in their office. I researched them well prior to going with them and their results were good with low complication rate.

@@Peekboo, thanks. I am struggling with it. I did put a tiny bit of laughing cow cheese in my mouth and just let it melt, lol.

I was sleeved on Oct 20th. How long were y'all on liquids? I don't go back to see my Nut until Nov 4th.

I sent my email via message

That is counting pre-op too. Was 215, day of surgery was 206

Hey guys, I was sleeved on the 20th. Been checking the site but haven't been posting much. Drum roll. . . I am in Onederland! I actually hit 199.1 this morning. I haven't seen that number in a really long time. Today is also the day the poop returned, yeah me. I am still having itching around my glue sites but they all look good. Still have various bruises and ouch is from needle sticks. I am still taking my dilaudid and liquid Tylenol for pain and well controlled. Still on full liquids and seem to tolerate premier Protein best. I tried making some of my previous protein concoctions but they seemed very frothy and gave me more gas. I go back to see the Nut on 11/4 for diet advancement. Hope all my fellow BariPals are doing ok, and with that, I think I am all caught up now. Kya
