Thank you! We will wait it out a bit.

Thank you! Thats encouraging!

I am trying to find responses to your question. Did this resolve? How is your heartburn like feeling now? My daughter had the sleeve 4 days ago and has what she thinks is heartburn even though she has never had it before.

Not measuring. But paying attention to how clothes fit. It seems really long to me too! I log 1/2 the time, but my daily foods/portions are pretty much the same day to day.

I have not lost anything in almost 2 months. I am 4 1/2 months post-op. I have stuck to my plan. Very low carbs and sugar. I was allowed all solids at three months but haven’t gone crazy adding things. My protein is always 60+ grams a day. I have a protein shake if I know my day is going to be hectic. I have a peanut butter weakness, but it’s really just about a tablespoon or so a day (The bad kind-Skippy). I am always over my 64 ounces of water. I try to get in exercise through walking and or running at least 3-4 times a week. Help me jump start this thing!

I constantly have my water with me. I’ve always been that way. I drink between all meals, but I’m careful to take the 1/2 hour before and after breaks. I start at 6am and finish around 9pm.

Hi All. I am just over a month post VSG. I am drinking 60-80 ounces of water a day, just like pre-surgery. Pre-surgery I needed to use bathroom every 1/2 hour to hour to keep up, and it was always urgent. Now I only go around 3 times in an 8 hour period. I don't feel like I am retaining water, and no puffiness to indicate it. Anyone have similar, or know what this is about?

I am from Hawaiʻi. 49. Sleeved 3 weeks ago. So far so good. Stall right not, but not too concerned. 1 month post-op appt on Saturday (the team flys over to see 'outer island' patients on weekends).

Did you ever figure this out? I can't find a way to do it either.

I don't see many people posting from or about the programs in Hawai'i, but we have a few. My experience is with Queens Medical Center's Comprehensive Weight Management Program. I have been amazed by the level of care that I have experienced here. It says a lot about a program when the non-medical portion of care goes so smoothly. They walked me through every step of the process for last several months and made very easy to navigate, what can sometimes be a nightmare. My surgeon Dr. Cedric Lorenzo and his team were equally wonderful in explaining everything as well as laying his expectations for me. The aftercare was compassionate and informative. I just had the surgery two weeks ago and everything has been as smooth as can be and cannot wait to tell the team how I am doing at my 1 month follow up.

I am 8 days post op and have a strange pain in my back. It is located dead center and feels a bit like when you get a brain freeze and it goes into your back. My back has also been tired, but this pain is a little different. I can feel it more when I inhale. I have no heartburn (GERD) symptoms at all. Pretty much pain free, except a little tender at incisions. Pain level for my back is 1-3, but fairly constant. I had it on the 3rd day after surgery and then it left until yesterday. Any ideas?

Hiatal hernia discovered during gastric sleeve surgery. I chose the sleeve because of a rare disease that I have. When the surgeon went in to perform my surgery 2 days ago, he discovered the hernia. Has anyone one else has this happen? And then NOT had problems with gerd, reflux after surgery. The surgeon was bit worried that I may need to get the bypass. No GI problems at all in last couple days. Crossing my fingers.

I am September 10th also. The nerves really are starting to kick in. Its all so overwhelming, but exciting at the same time. Next week and the follow weeks are going to fly! Let stay in contact with each other.

Me too!!

I got my official date. Gastric Sleeve on September 10
