    I had the sleeve, a hernia repair and my gall bladder removed at the same time ... March 13... I have not experienced any incisional pain or difficulty swallowing. However, everyone is different. Your surgeon is most likely correct and it might not be uncommon for what you are experiencing to happen. I am sure it will get better

    13 weeks. However, the gurgling stopped about a month that ago

    I was told that my new stomach would make noises a lot... it did in the beginning but not any more

    I also added protein powder to my liquids at that time

    I am 13 weeks out and have never been nauseous or vomited, nor do I have reflux or heartburn. We are all different and I count myself lucky. I can Eat ust about anything. Good luck

    Pant sizes?

    rainyann replied to charley27's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Goodwill has received 8 huge bags of clothes from me and my closet is empty. I only buy things on sale now since I know I won't wear them for long

    Cravings

    rainyann replied to LaLaJ13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    If I was the type that could stop with one warm chocolate chip cookie I would say go for it... but I am not unless only one warm chocolate chip cookie was baked! There are protein chocolate chip cookies but I never had one

    Today is the day - surgery!!!

    rainyann replied to monica91355's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    If you wake up on day 1 or 2 and ask yourself "what did I do?", don't worry... many of us felt that way in the first couple of days... give it a chance, you will feel better and realize it was the best thing for you. You will then wonder why you didn't do it before. It gets better! Just stick to the plan and keep on walking!

    Not too late to switch... have your surgery at Syosset hospital, their program is fantastic., both the pre-op and post-op care. Dr McMullen is wonderul

    Help

    rainyann replied to ambergene's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Dumping is more of an issue with the gastric bypass

    What does the surgeon recommend for you? I was fairly certain I wanted the sleeve and the surgeon said it was the right one for me... Sometimes it depends on the amount of weight you have to lose, perhaps not always

    Drinking With a Straw?

    rainyann replied to dgarcia27's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I am 3 months out and about a week ago I started drinking with a straw and have had no issues. I have my 3 month check up next week and plan on speaking with the surgeon about it and asking if the restriction still applies if I had no issues

    Take the gall bladder out... it needs to eventually since you already have gall stones.... however, the other issue also need to be fixed. I wouldn't bother with a second opinion about the gall bladder

    Sharp or pulling pain

    rainyann replied to GSPlotTwist's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I was told it was normal if it happened, too. I haven't had sharp pains, just twinges and not very often

    One week update

    rainyann replied to Vsgneeded's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    One of the reasons you are tired is that you are consuming many fewer calories than your body is used to. It does get better

    restaurants?

    rainyann replied to greensleeves's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I order a regular portion and take the rest home.

    Overweight Failure

    rainyann replied to kejamess's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I am just about 3 months out... I rarely feel hungry except the first thing in the morning... and I never get in more than 700 - 800 calories a day although I probably could.

    Sleeve completed!

    rainyann replied to Miranda.Oil.Nurse's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    it gets better every day!
  23. rainyann
    Mine took 5 months but only because I delayed getting all my appointments for testing. There was no specific time frame required by my insurance. Once I did everything she scheduled my surgery date pretty quickly.

    1 week, no weight loss!
