Hi! I just wondered if the unflavored proteins, do they still have that heavy protein taste when they are added to foods or drinks? I'm just having a hard time getting that protein drink down! Thanks for any suggestions! Anita

LizaJane, OMG, I come to this board to read every evening just about and was so excited to see you on here! You probably don't know that I had this surgery and tomorrow is my 2 month date and I have lost 34 pounds! My sister had it in December and in 6 months lost 100 pounds! And we both used Dr. Jones, he is just the best! Call Mark and get my phone number if you ever want to talk. It has been the best decision for me. Good luck! hugs, Anita

I've had a drain before with surgery and it closed immediately. This time it is driving me crazy. I did tell him it was bothering me and I was worried, but he just said give it 2 more weeks. I feel like this is really slowing my weight loss down! Thanks, Anita

Hi all! I have been lurking and reading, reading, reading. This is my first post, so please, let me know if I am doing something wrong. I was sleeved on 06/07 and doing well until they removed the drain tubing on 06/16. It has been red and inflamed and a stitch worked its way out on 06/25. It is still open and will just bleed every couple of days. It feels very raw and sore. I saw my surgeon on 06/30 and he said give it 2 more weeks to close. Has anyone else had this happen?? I feel like I am missing out on summer and it has really hindered exercise, as it feels like it is pulling and it is worrying me! Thank you all for so much information and help you provide! I really enjoy this board. thanks, Anita
