  1. @@Diana_in_Philly Thank you for your post. It's funny how much I need to hear just be patient. It is hard to not see immediate results. I will keep trying to be patient and look forward to warm summer months when I will be excited to buy a new swimsuit. Thanks again
  2. @@Diana_in_Philly Hi I was sleeved on Dec.27th 2016. I have maybe lost 6 pounds since surgery. To be honest I was hoping it would be more. I am feeling a little discouraged. Did it take a few weeks before you started to notice weight loss? I am starting to feel like I am the only one getting a sleeve surgery did not work on. Looking for encouragement and hoping you can help. Thanks for your post.

  8. @@wruiz I am so glad to hear that each day gets better..I am having weird pain when getting out of bed and getting comfortable when sleeping It's not bad pain but the type that tells you not to do that again and makes you lay still. I love to sleep on my stomach so sleeping on my back is really bothering me. How long do you think until I can sleep on my stomach again?
  9. @@wruiz hi I my gastric sleeve surgery done on Tuesday Dec.27th. So it has only been 3 days. Could you tell me what your starting weight was and your height? I am just curious about progress-- I know everyone is different but it is fun to hear about successful weight loss. I can't wait to feel better and be a month out from surgery. Thanks for posting
  10. @@JupiterinVirgo thank you for your post I just got home from the hospital and I am feeling pretty good. I am sore but my surgery was just 2 days ago. I really need this to work for me...I can't wait until I start seeing weight loss instead of my usual weight gain. I am feeling hopeful so I think thats a good start
