My labs came out normal. I have been using the patches for 4 months.

I agree too!

I use the patches and feel great.

I love to bake now and did not before surgery. I think the reason I like it now is because I know I will not eat it all!

I needed zofran more than the pain pills.

I have dumping if I eat sugar alcohols or some dairy. I had the sleeve.

I am 5 weeks post op and have lost 22 since surgery.

I gained 10 pounds. It took a week to get back to my surgery day weight.

I love the patch. Patchmd.com

My dietician said that you get the rest of the calories you need by your body burning your fat.

I am a little over 1 week out. I came home with oxygen and am still on that. I started eating yesterday and that is definitely a learning curve. Today I had a spoonful of peanut butter and that was dreamy. How are you doing?

I was sleeved on Nov 3.

Did those of you who have had successful weight loss use protein drinks or get all your protein through food?

Thank you!

I have surgery today at 1:30. Feeling pretty nervous. Did I see somewhere that there is a Nov. secret Facebook group? Can I be added?

Livsmom- how did you get insurance to cover your tummy tuck?

November 3

1 hour

I was so excited when I was approved in one hour!

I love the isopure ready made drink. I think it is way better than premier protein. I really like the grape and lemonade flavors.

Rdub what dr did your surgery?

The amount we are allowed to eat is measured in volume not weight. So people use the scale to calculate correct calories?

I was told no birth control pills after surgery either. Your hormones are too out of whack and the pill doesn't work well. I was advised to get an IUD instead.

Hello all, I am in the process of jumping through the hoops to get the sleeve. I had my band removed in Nov and gained 30 pounds since. Am now ready to get the sleeve. My doctor will not do it in one surgery.
