  1. Hi I'm from Chicago I get sleeved on Tuesday Sept 23rd. I'm ready but nervous for the change. Glad to hear about everyone! !

    Hello Waneta35 I am from Chicago also and will be getting sleeved on 12-11-15 at the University Of Chicago. How is your progress and where were you sleeved?

    I was sleeved at UOC with Dr. Hussain my experience has been great!! I have lost 85lbs so far, best decision I made for me :)


  2. Hi Waneta35, I have several before and after pics on my profile page. I'm grateful for the surgery and I am celebrating the results thus far, but I do not wish to see them on this page. I never want to go back there and while for some seeing reminders of where they came from keeps them focused on moving forward....that does not work for me. so this is my celebration page where I focus on moving forward instead of looking back..... :lol: :lol: :lol:

    I understand that. God bless you in your journey and I can't wait to get where you are. I'm 3 weeks post op :)


  3. I threw up constantly for five months. They found nothing wrong with me at all. I had endoscopy, ct scan every test and nothing was wrong. Now at six months out I am finally better but I really watch how much food I put in my mouth at one time and how fast I eat. It gets better so hang in there. Some people just take a lil longer to recover.

    Thanks :) I'm trying to. I guess I never realized how fast I was eating pre surgery.


  4. I know that in the first few months I really had to slow down when eating, really chew through each bite and the second you start to feel a little full or have that feeling like it's still in your throat to stop...then you won't get sick. about how many bites do you take before you start feeling sick? generally, and even now (5 months later) I have about a couple bites of something and I am full (Like a cheese stick is it)

    Hope this helps and I hope you feel better soon!

    I start feeling sick after a few bites. It feels like the food is stuck in my throat and then it comes back up. But mostly mucus not that much of the food. I hate throwing up it reminds me of morning sickness :(


  5. I am almost 3 weeks post-op and my doctor switched me this week at my visit to soft foods. I'm not sure if I'm eating to fast or it's the food but I'm throwing up at least once a day since the change. Has anyone experienced once you add soft foods in your diet you are not able to keep food down that much? Any pointers?


  6. I still haven't gotten any of my Protein. I'm 13 days post op. The powder is nasty. I've been drinking slim fast which have 10 grams but I can only drink half at a time. I'm afraid I'm gonna end up hurting my progress ifvi dint start getting it in. People have given lots of advice but I'm just stuck.

    I understand all my meals are broken in half I switch up all day from eating and drinking. I use a timer to keep it 30 minutes apart.


  7. Hi my name is Janet im 46 yrs old from New York I have three adult children and 4 wonderful grandchild. I was never married but was in the same relationship for many years. Im truly a family person and surround myself with my family all the time. My reason for seeking the sleeve is simple I remember as a teenager the struggle my mother went through with her health starting around the age of 50. Yes a eye opener for me because I started having the same issues she had prior to her having problems with her heart then diabetes hypertension two strokes an amputee gylcoma which left her blind in one eye. And now kidney disease and yes she is she living strong. I thank the lord everyday as she lives under my care. So when i couldn't walk up one flight of 8 stairs without complications I knew it was time for a change. My Hw was 278 and im 5 ft 8 my i have lost a total of 31lbs as of today and I feel great. I have no regrets except 1 and that is i wish i had know of this sooner. Love laugh and live

    Congrats on the weight loss so far. I can't wait! !
