Thanks so much for this. It's been on my mind a lot lately. I've put my head down and have really stuck to my guidelines but I am now going to really increase my calories daily. I appreciate your all your advice.

. I also had surgery the first of June and I am doing the same. I started exercise classes this month and I have been at the same weight and measurements. I am trying to increase my caloric intake now and I know that my body is just trying to adjust. I have been at 500 cal trying to get another 150 - 200 cal a day and keep my carbs down. That's been my struggle. I feel so much better with exercising regularly.

You definitely need to call your insurance and ask them. I did the same thing and my ins did cover any complications. Also my Dr offered insurance to cover certain complications. It was through a different insurance company. Good luck.

Sleeved June 1st. Have been doing great from the beginning, losing at a good pace- 50 lbs gone. I have been walking 6 days a week 3-5 miles ea day. Then I started to work out, taking Pilates class 2x week and a power (cardio,stretching class) 1x week. The losing train stopped dead in its tracks. I have read so many stories about this happening but it still kind of hurts. I'm going to keep it going and hope for the best. Anybody else doing the same?

Hi Bluesea71' I also have PCOS, just wondering if symptoms go away after weightloss? I'm 55 yrs old diagnosed since mid 20's?

I was sleeved 6/1 and I was very hungry too. The good thing is that once my body got used to my new stomach size (about 5 days out) my hunger went away. I think it takes a bit for your body to adjust to your new stomach size. Everything is going great 4 wks.

I'm calling today, Thanks.

I am in my third week post op and I am wondering if it is normal for my left incision to be still extremely painful. I know that it is the one they removed my stomach from and there are stitches on the inside muscle. I mean on a scale of 0-10. This is probably an 8 (pain wise) My incisions are all healed, good color.

I was sleeved 6/1, lost 16 lbs in two weeks now I am at a standstill for 3 days. I have gone from about 275/350cal a day 500/650 cal a day. I'm thinking my body has to adjust to the additional calories????

GasX strips really work for me.

I also was sleeved on June 1st. I can drink 64 oz. of water with no problem. I have been getting "hungry" the last two days. I'm keeping a food journal daily and I'm eating between 450/550 calories 35/55 gram protein. I think I need a little more calories. Walking everyday too.
