Did the insurance pay for it ?

What was your BMI when you had it done, I only ask because mine was low (29)..

You will

I am 4 weeks out and what Babbs said was true for me.... I had big time regrets, and now 4 weeks out i am eating and loving i had this...

WOW... How much weight have you lost in the week

It's a little deceiving, for most there really is no pain, you will start the liquid diet. Your stomach is swollen (still no pain) but because of this its bigger, so when you start to drink and for some start to eat, you dont feel any restriction. Than about 4 weeks out the swollen is gone and you start to feel the difference. i just started my 4 week diet where i can eat really food and I did feel the restriction.

Just so I understand, they are going to make your stomach even smaller? I think I read that the bypass was reversible

Will anything help and will this also be the case in the summer

But why do you think that, you can get the operation report and it will tell you the size of your new stomach

Yes, I used to see Dr. Nusbaum I had the lapband and switched over to Dr Nusbaum. when i had the sleeve done by a different Dr. I asked to make the stomach bigger, the Dr. did it and i dont feel any restriction... I think it was a mistake... What was your post about.... why do you think yours is to big?

And who did your sleeve, I also live in NJ

So, what do you mean the sleeve is to big? Is it that you dont think the Dr. did not take enough out/off ?

Yes you are missing something. It was only approved because I had the lapband and it had slipped, its call revision surgery.

I was told people gain all the weight and than some back. I dont understand how that can be with a stomach 3 times smaller

I had the band 5 yrs ago, I am 5’4 my starting weight 205, I lost 50 pounds…. Band slipped this summer and had to be removed, started to gain the weight back, and got up to 180. Had the sleeve 2 weeks ago. I have already lost 18 pounds. This so different than the band, I don’t feel hungry at all. I am a afraid I am going to lose to much weight

I had the sleeve as a revision from the band, the band slipped after 5 yrs... it worked great for me

Yes, I did they did blood work . Thank you for asking

I am 2 weeks out and was wondering when I can have popcorn and peanuts again

I did this and it worked, I get 64 Pure Protein each month free (they bill insurance) http://www.insurenutrition.com/

I am also 2 weeks out.... I can tell you everyone's plan is different. I can start blended at 2 weeks and other say they can start at 4-6 weeks... Anyway Peanut Butter is listed as "AVOID" on my program

Lets us learn from others

Were you able to start Blended on week 2

Thats the funny part, I am getting all my Protein and fluids and starting blended and have Nooooo issues at all other than feeling dizzy

I am 2 weeks out and have no issues with beef, pork or fluids,,, I dont blend but chew very very well.... The Water and everthing else gos down fine also, ANYONE else like this

I have been feeling very dizzy .......
