Hello everyone. Update! I am home the pain is better I never thought I would be so happy to pass gas! After my first meal my bowels started “waking up” and I generated a lot of gas that I couldn’t pass, this made me get bloated and was pushing against my incisions and inner wound and hurt a lot but once I was able to pass gas it was a relief. I’m keeping my liquids down ok and my nausea is very minimal. I was able to get up and go to the bathroom, even take a shower all by myself today

My name is Sonya and I'm from Ohio

I am sure everyone doesn't want loose skin... I know it's a hot topic and I feel very vain even mentioning it. But I've never had a 'nice body' but I can't wait to really prioritize my health and well being and if that means my body is more aesthetically pleasing then I'm game. Lol My mom has pretty nice skin but she's never been over 170 lbs so time will tell!

Hello everyone. I am being sleeved on 12/13 and my weight prior to my liquid diet was 243 night 5'4.5. I realize looking at before and after pictures many started at a higher weight then I am but I'd like to know what to expect with loose skin. I am 30 years old. My face is pretty full do you think my cheeks will be saggy? I know it sounds petty but I am inquisitive. I am so excited to change my life and have struggled with weight since before puberty so this is my chance to really make a difference. I am by nature a planner and rule follower so I have done so so so much research. Many nights watching YouTube videos of what to expect. Please let me know if you had a similar starting weight and if you think your journey differed much from the common consenses. Thanks so much in advance.

I am on my fifth day. Day one I was fine. Day 2 was the worst of it. So far I haven't had any problems besides accidentally swallowed some sugar free gum. It's been mind over matter, good Luck!

I owned my own company for 25 years and then sold it and retired early. A friend had a project in Kansas that was in trouble and ask me to help .... I live in Georgia but traveled there to see what I could do. I ended up actually living there for 3 years.....we saved the company but my hair fell out big time. After I came home it got better but then my daughter got married .... the year of wedding planning again made my hair fall out. This time I started using Biotin....my hair is now doing great.....I am just starting the Gastric Sleeve process .... here we go again!

Hi Rachel!
My name is Beth I'm also having surgery on December 13th. I'm in nursing school and work at the hospital that I will be having surgery at. Seems like the two of us have a lot in common. Stats: Height 5'5 Age 30 HW 260 CW 235

[mention=329524]Thatblondechick[/mention], my son is graduating MSON in a few weeks, and he has his first job lined up at Shock Trauma. He started as a nursing student in his second year (critical care) and this last semester he's working there as part of his curriculum (intermediate care). THey start you in intermediate, then after a year you move to critical. Great experience if you want to be NP or NA (he's considering both).

You aren’t alone in being afraid of hair loss! I’m already taking biotin 10,000U just for that very reason. I thought about switching to the BariMelts. Especially if these keep making me so nauseated.

I have a year left. Thank goodness it's almost over, I've been approved for surgery for 2 months now but had to wait for the break in semesters. I want to work in ICU or some other critical care, maybe life flight? The trill of codes always gets my heart pumping! Do you have concerns about having surgery at your place of work? At first I had no concerns now I feel like people may look me up because they are nosey. Most likely irrational but it's a thought none the less. Hopefully those 12 hour days will be less exhausting with a new you!!

I definitely was concerned at first. Not because I particularly cared if people knew because I’m a pretty open person..but just because I feel as if I will be blocked in at functions with the hospital... if that makes since.. for example I have already started my preop diet but I will switch to a different diet on 11/29... but my hospital had a community bingo where ALOT of the staff & their families gathered at the police department. The kitchen cooked all kinds of goodies & I didn’t want to eat anything there...well maybe besides a brownie lol...but I didn’t I literally ate an apple & drank Water. I ran into the nurse & receptionist from my surgeons office and I was scared I would run into the nutritionist. Idk why considering I didn’t do anything wrong lol... maybe it’s totally irrational. Shew, I’m glad you’re finding time to do it in such a busy schedule..nursing school is not easy! I can’t remember if I mentioned above or not but I work in the ER! I absolutely am an adrenaline junkie..once I lose the weight I would love to do flight nursing..lots of hurdles before I can get there though! They require a lot more additional educational classes plus they have a weight limit also however, I will probably stick with ER for awhile because that’s where I started out as a new grad & almost 1.5 years later I still love it.

I am having surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. How about you?
