sweesee

Congratulations!

I used it my surgeon recommended it I paid 120$ and it was quick and fairly easy

I felt the same way, try taking pics every 10 lbs. It doesn't seem like a difference until you look at the pics

Congratulations! I'm about 100 days out. I hit my first goal (180) at around 80-85 days after surgery currently (175) so now I'm trying to figure out a new goal weight lol

Great job!

I just left mine alone until they fell off. My scars look much better than the ones from my prior lap band surgery where I ripped it off right away. I wish I would have left those alone too because the old scars look much worse than just letting them heal and fall off in their own good time

Are you getting all your fluids in? I get dizzy spells because of dehydration

It's hard to describe but it's almost like it's hitting my cervix and also feels tighter like a lot of pressure. Sorry I don't have a better way to describe it

70 days post op and have tried position changes and more foreplay but sex is just more painful. I have no idea why since nothing else has changed

I Have the same problem after surgery, I'm more interested in sex but it hurts. I'm not sure of the cause or any remedies though

I had a band and had some of the same issues. My band was supposedly in place according to the scan but I had vomiting, certain days I could eat the whole house and certain days I ended up in the ER because I couldn't even get a sip of water down. It was horrible. I had pain in my chest/back/ shoulder from it. I was just revised to a sleeve in August and am down 40 lbs since surgery and am down 70 since I first saw the surgeon (i started eating better and exercising so I could be healthy before my surgery) the difference is night and day. My surgeon said I had a lot of scar tissue and I only had my band since Dec of 2013. I would hate to see what it would do to my insides in 5-10 years.

I use nivea firming lotion mixed with Mother's Special Blend oil and also extra vitamin E oil. I just put it in my hand and rub my hands together to mix it up. I'm down 65 pounds already and no loose skin so far

I used them the first month after surgery. It was great not to have to worry about vitamins while trying to recover and feeling like crap

No problem ☺ I just stayed overnight and was home by 6pm the next day. It was laparoscopic I just had a drain which I didn't have for the band but they took the drain out before I left the hospital. My surgeon asked if I would ever recommend the band to anyone, I said "nope" he said it's a horrible horrible procedure (his own words) (I had my band done at a different surgeon in a different state)

It went well. I think I had more pain than virgin sleevers but the doc said I had a lot of scar tissue (I only had the band for 3 years, I'd hate to see what decades would have done to my body) my surgeon was able to do it in one procedure thank goodness, but when he came in the next morning to see how I was doing, he said that he had another one that morning where he just couldn't do it in one shot. So I think it really depends on the situation but my advice would be to get that damn thing out of you, the sooner the better. Living in pain is not acceptable, even though we try to normalize it, it's our bodies way of saying something isn't right and we shouldn't ignore it. I felt like a failure too with the band but so far it has been night and day. I have less hunger and just physically can't eat a lot even if I wanted to. I'm already down 35 pounds. The first week I was actually more from all the fluids, then it just started dropping off. Don't get me wrong, it's not a magic wand and requires work, but it's 100× easier.

I had the same problems with the band, plus I was in constant pain from it. I was sleeved 8/8 and doing really well! It's a huge difference

I had to do the 6 months all over again (band to sleeve revision) I was super pissed but it actually turned out ok because I started working out and eating right and lost almost 40 lbs before my surgery Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

I had a band and was revised over a month and a half ago and have not had one instance of acid reflux. Acid reflux is not a given with the sleeve, but it can occur Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

I wore the multi in the day and the calcium/D at night but I don't think it makes a difference Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

I've been debating on unsubscribing from Torrid emails. I keep thinking " what if I need to shop there again?" ugh Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

I'm using bio oil mixed with mother's special blend oil. It works much better than just bio oil alone in my opinion Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

I'm 30 days post op and haven't had a problem but it depends on the person Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App
