I was approved in a mon th with bcbs

How r u feeling?

The first pic was nov 14 at my hight weight 234 and the second was 11 weeks out...im currently 13 weeks out and weight about 185

That the main reason I didn't go through with mine I call his office every day for abouts 3weeks asking about the price and they waited until three days before to tell me it would 750 and I had 2 days to pay the money I was like hell I have to pay rent how can I get 750 in two days

I'm doing really goos down 50lbs with 30 more to go...good luck everyone

hi everyone I'm in houston,tx ...I'm actually 3 months postop with sleeve ...it was a long journey to get here started with true result and didn't have good communication but continued on through approval but stopped when I got connected with Dr hollis's office because they were unprofessional and didn't return calls...so I went to Dr Now and his process was to long...so I ended up using Dr Spiegel bcc I had a lot of friend who went through him and they had really good results and his process is quick he doesn't have a good bedside manner but he knows how to do his job...

Hi everyone haven't posted in a while glad to say I'm down 50lbs (189 currently ) but would like to loose 30 more ....i can eat pretty much eat anything but stay away from bread , rice and pasta... been trying to work out 3x's a week just hope to be able to drop another 20 by August for my birthday ....will keep u all posted on my progress

Hey how is everyone today make 3wks post op for the most of us...as for me I'm down 25 pounds from my highest weight of 233 and feeling pretty good....did 30 mins on the elliptical yesterday and went back to work this past Tuesday..overall I'm feeling pretty good

From what I've been reading yall are going through the dreaded 2-3 week stall...but if u continue to stick to the plan the inches will continue to fall off...I'm only 8 days post otp so I know my time is coming ...stay motivated and focus on the finish line...best of luck

Hey I'm in Houston also sleeved on 1/15 what side of town are u on

I'm one week postop and have head hunger constantly ...worried that I.could back into me old eating habits once I begin eating regular again ...

I think they tell most sleeved pts not to drink out of straws....but I know a few people who have had the surgery and they drink out of straws they even drink carbonated drinks on occasion...

Sending prayers your way!

Congrats...looking good!

I think it can be hard when u are first sleeved bc u have head hunger and when you have been eating liquids for 6 days u start wanting real food but it gets easier once u can have real food ...u just cook healthy and ur family will eat it to

My pcp told me that most people's vit-d levels are low and even lower in the winter month due to lack of sun...my last my check it was like 15 so I just take a supplement but it didn't stop my surgery

I have friend that works with me who said the same thing happened to a Dr she used to work with after she got sleeved I believe she said it was low blood sugar ...

Congrats!

Did u do just liquids for ur 4 postop weeks or we're u doing mushy and soft foods aswell!

I'm three days post otp and I'm not hungry but still have cravings..I thinks the hardest thing is that I have a large family that I have to cook for so just smelling the food makes me wish I could just tastes it ...my husband and daughter have done there best to help.out with the cooking so I dont have to go.in the kitchen but it still doesn't really calm my cravings...even now as I type I can smell the aroma of chicken and potatoes Coming from the kitchen

Multi vitamin Iron b12 Calcium Vit D Biotin

I'm mostly have gas pain but have been using gasx strips to help...my hardest task has been getting all my liquids in especially with all my vitamins... I'm trying to stay on top of things bc I really dont want to loose my hair..I have already dropped 8lbs since Thursday but dont want to send my body into starvation

I used Dr Felix speigal had the sleeve done on Jan 15 2015 @ memorial city

How is everyone feeling since there surgery .... as for me last night was ok I woke up around 230 with a little discomfort and had to take some pain Med and a chewable gas tablet ...on top of that I think I have a upper respiratory infection so I made an appointment for this morning so I can get an antibiotic other than that I'm pretty good...trying to stay hydrated haven't really eaten since I've been home just mostly SF popsicles and some protein supplement ...
