Mine are not truly visible but itch sometimes lol I need to find something to use!

My husband and family are from southern Louisiana and I’m a graduate of THE Southern University Law Center lol so I feel like it’s home

I do truly believe that many people get the procedure due to wanting to get someone to notice or think that with this surgery their insecurities will be gone. Society has already made it a trend that smaller is best, instead of healthy is best. So that I believe is where people on here begin to obsess over the rate of weight loss even as little as 5-6 days out. This surgery WILL NOT...I repeat WILL NOT fix mental health issues. And recognizing depression or other mental struggles early in the process, I believe in the end will enhance the weight loss long term. Stress and other mental factors can cause weight gain, ultimately leaving the sleeve ineffective. I personally don’t think that all know they are suffering mentally until after the surgery. So a post op therapist should be something to consider.

I’m 9 days out and all of mine peeled off and I wasn’t trying to peel them. I think it’s all about your skin on how the marks will look but I don’t know

You bettaaaaaa!!! You look great!!! Go girl 🤗

Good luck today!!!!

You got it. My first 2-3 days were horrid but by day 4 it was much better. Just keep pushing

That’s awesome!!!! I’m headed to store now!!!!

You got this!!! Just remember your “why”

I had surgery June 6, 2018 and I was extremely miserable the first two days. But my husband took off work and made sure I got up to walk even if only for 2-3 minutes per hour. He bought any and every fluid that I thought may stay down. He never complained, nor made me feel like I was over exaggerating the pain. Yesterday we actually went on (two) 20-30 minute walks and I was able to keep all liquids down. He has been encouraging me and very good with our son. I see so many post about partners not being on board. That’s so awful and I wish they would just support the journey. I don’t know how I would’ve made through this without my husband. Team Work makes the Dream Work 💪🏾

I got sleeved June 6th!! I’m feeling much better today!! Energy is slowly coming back!! I have to do 21 days of liquids. Can’t tolerate much but I stick to what is working.

I lost 7 lbs pre op.

That’s awesome!!! And I agree I’m wishing everyone has a great support system!!!

Anyone experience this issue before. I can’t keep fluids down. My doctor said to go to the ER if I can’t keep fluids down last tonight.

I’ll use the chewables now

Anyone experience pain in their shoulder and body on the left side after procedure? I read it could be gas

No I didn’t go I believe it was caused by my esophagus. But I’m able to keep a little more down

I am able to keep Gatorade down finally. But my protein drinks are rough. I may try chicken broth. Good to know we are in this together

I am feeling better today🤗 hopefully I’ll gain energy Back by Monday

I don’t have staples but I think it may have come from my esophagus. Especially since I could not hold any liquids down.

Hey!! I’m feeling much better today. But the first two were a bit rough

Instantly it makes my stomach uncomfortable or I instantly have to go the the bathroom to vomit

I hope you feel better! I'm following because we have so much in common and you will be one week ahead so I'm really cheering you on!!! Thank you!!

Yea that’s what I’m thinking 😔

Didn’t even think about sleeping upright!! Smart
