one-day-soon

Thanks everyone, I feel great too

So today I am almost 4 months post op an I have lost 42lbs. Today is my birthday and I wore to church yesterday a suit that I wore 8 years ago. Four months ago I was a size 18-20 and today I am a size 12.

I agree looking good.

This week I've walked one day. It was the first week for the kids to go back to school. My husband will buy a treadmill for my birthday. So I can get my exercise in.

I'm 45 sleeved on July 24 also.

I'm still having some right side pain and trying to get enough food Protein in, stopped Isopure this week and doing one injury shake until they run out.

What type of exercise are you doing?

Start weight 215

Current weight 187

Yes. I return to work two weeks after surgery. I will talk to my doc. Thx

Hi my name is Janice, I've been a RN for 10 yrs. LVN for 7 years and was a CNA for 7 years. I started when I was 2.

I have worked pediatric , public health, hospice telephone triage, nursing home and currently a MDS coordinator for a nursing home.

I was sleeved July 24 th lost 12 lbs preop and 16lbs post op. I am a revision from lap band and have had several episodes of sliming. Not sure why. , I'm starting to get worried I also have some post nasal drip so I thought maybe that is why. Does anybody start coughing after a couple bites of food. I usually stop eating trying to listen to my body?

Surgery on July 24th loss 14 lbs post surgery and total loss of 26 lbs. I don't feel like a slow loser, I am happy with the process. Slow and steady is the race....

My back is the first place I've notice weight loss. I wish it at been my stomach first but just glad to be losing

How is everyone's energy level. I've been back to work for 1 week and I have to go sit down after walking around for a few minutes. I had to lay down after combing my daughter's hair this morning. I am taking my Vitamins and getting in about 65 g of Protein. How is everybody else? Surgery was July 24, 21lb down

Return to work today after 1 week post op. so far so good

Congrats and I feel your pain . I'm a week out and the pain is better but it is still uncomfortable. I used a heating pad and walked. It does get better

I am 7 days out an have nice an increase in my sense of smell. Has anyone else notice this?

I planned it to go back to work on the end of the week so that I had the weekend to recover, then I see my doc on Monday. If I'm to tired I'll work a half day Friday and it's already a half day Monday with my doc appt

I had my surgery on July 24th, I have pain at my drain site and pain on my left side. I woke this morning weak and tired. Had to lay back down but once I got some Protein in I feel better. I go back to work tomorrow. I hope I have enough energy to make it a full day.

Thanks. I am waiting in the holding area. I'm ready....!!!!!

Anyone else having there surgery today? I'm having a revision from the lapband. Good luck to everyone else. I've read so many post here that I thought I wouldn't be nervous today but but as I get closer my nerves a definitely starting

My surgery is on July 24th as well. My preop starts Tuesday for 7 days. Let's keep in touch to encourage each other

HI! I'm scheduled for July 24th anybody else on that date?

I feel like I just won the Texas Lottery, after reading so many post on how hard it is to get approved. I found out today that I am approved and I have a surgery date of July 24th. Which can't come soon enough since I have had some complication from my Lap band. As hard as these past 3 years has been with my band I believe the lessons I've learnt will benefit my new life with the sleeve. Winning the Lottery changes people lives and being sleeved will differently change my life. I have BCBS of TX and hen I called today I was told that my doc office sent the paperwork in on the 5th and it could talk 7-10 business days to get and answer that was at 11:01am and by 3:59pm my doc office was calling me to say I was approved. I was in shock and happy and nervous all at the same time, like a lottery winner. I would have jumped up and down too but I was in the car parked in front of Wal-Mart and have too much port pain. Good Luck to those waiting on approval.

Hi! I had mine done last Wednesday at North Cypress...

Hi! I am waiting on approval but will be having my down at North Cypress, who was your doc?

Houston

I'm waiting for approval for revision from lapband

Yes we do. I'm still in the hospital right now post op day 4 infact arguing to go home. Been dry heaving the whole time and I was worried about the same thing. So far no issue with leaks or staples concerns. Surgeon says its mainly lifting that strains the line or overeating. By the way I have kicked out one snarky male charge nurse' date=' fired one ER doctor, and filed a complaint about the transferring nurse not notifying my doctor of my transfer delaying care for 3 hours. Yes, nurses make terrible patients. We are our own worst enemy.[/quote']

I came on today to check on you. Glad to her you are ready to go home. I too am a Nurse. Waiting to get approved for a revision. Praying for your speedy recovery

I saw my surgeon yesterday who thinks something is wrong with my port. The office coordinator will send the information to my insurance company for revision Approval. I've lost 2 lbs over the weekend bc it hurts when I eat solids. I've been doing Isopure and Jello with injury and injury chicken Soup. I hope the approval comes back soon.
