I'm also at 7 weeks post-op. For some reason, I haven't had much nausea. Sorry to learn that you have. You have lost so much weight. Good luck on your journey.

I had a problem with having a bowl movement. After three days, I purchased a fleet enema. It worked and I now feel much better. I'm about a month and a half post-op. Good luck!!

Congratulations!! I had my surgery on Feb. 16th. So far, I'm doing great--just a little muscle fatigue. Sandra

Okay. I would like someone to talk to about my journey. Talk soon. You can email me directly at sdana@csulb.edu. Sandra

Thank you Mike for posting your video. I had my sleeve surgery on Feb. 16th. I, too, felt good after my surgery and tried to follow all the advice-- like walking both in the hospital and at home. I know my family was praying for me too. I am now eating baby food, soft egg, cottage cheese and yesterday I had Tilapia which was delicious. I can only eat a small amount, but it was a nice change. I still sip on Protein drinks and Water during the day. I had a one week check up and I will be having my one month check up in a week or two. It seems like the body heals itself--at least on the outside pretty quickly. I'm using Aloe Vera gel, but some people use Vitamin E. Again, good luck and keep us posted. Sandy Dana

#40. Thank you. I was scared after I read your post thinking about the pain ahead of me. I will let you know when my surgery is scheduled. Sandy

In reply to #38, I read your post this morning. So sorry that you are having a difficult time. I just completed my meeting with the psych and nutrionist. The next step will be the upper endoscopy. I will be having the sleeve surgery soon. We are probably about the same age too. My health is pretty good and that is why my doctor recommended getting the sleeve. I know there will be pain, but I'm hoping they'll give me enough medication to help ease the pain. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for posting this. I had my consultation with the surgeon in December. They told me that it would be a four month wait until I had surgery because of the nutrionist. I will be meeting with her next week. I also had a psych visit. I will be having the sleeve surgery. Good luck.

Good luck to all of you and thanks for posting.

Good luck to all of you. I just found out today that I will qualify for the sleeve surgery. There will be a couple of extra months during prep work, but it will be worth it.

Thank you for your reply. I will be meeting with the psychologist and nutrionist in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for sharing your stories. I will be a future band candidate. Good luck with your decision.

Congratulations. I'm sure you worked very hard.

Thank you for the information. I too have sleep apnea.

Congratulations ReDiane. I am in the beginning process. I have an interview next week with the nutrionist. How long were you in the hospital? Did they give you any pain medication? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Solagirl
