  11. Newrose2016. The dr told me it would hurt more on left from the start. I am now 5 weeks post op and the pain left in the last week. Yay I can put my own socks on!! Oh ya and 37# down!!!!!!
  12. Wow there are some real judgey people. Use your own common sense. A drink now and then is fine if you want. That your thinking about it being a red flag is proposterous if you are talking about 1 or 2 social drinks. They have some alcohol hang ups to say that. Good luck!!
  13. I was 5 pm Monday and went home Wednesday. I think the dilaudid in my pca was causing nausea and kept me there an extra day.
  14. I had a complete hyst w/ovaries removed 2years prior to my sleeve. They put me on hormones right away and now surgeon took me off them d/t risk of clots but told me if I become too symptomatic I can restart them. 5 weeks post sleeve and no flashes yet. Hopefully this continues.
  15. Ultimately it is a very personal decision that you have to make after talking with your dr and your research. Good luck!!
  16. I had mine 1/18. On soft foods now pat-303 today 268.4. I bought pureprotein by nestle on Amazon and put it in stuff to add protein. Works great!!!
  17. I was 2-1/2 weeks post op and we went to Vegas. I had a drink a day while there and was fine. In fact I could have had more but didn't. I chose vodka cranberry. No carbonation and fairly healthy as drinks go. Good luck and remember moderation
  18. Agree babbs. I didn't like the idea of vitamin deficiencies and dumping syndrome.
  19. I got a binder but I didn't think it helped. Good luck
  20. No unless you have additional symptoms. They told me the zero yogurt was the best.
  21. I took fmla. I told some and not others. Hr. would know because of paperwork but it's not a secret simply not anyone's business to have an opinion.
  22. Depends on your surgeon. Mine restricts to 5 pounds for six weeks. Which is hard to stick to.
  23. No problem. I will give you you my # if you want in private message.
