Hi there, I had my surgery with Dr Rod, about 9 months ago on 11/23/10, I have lost 90 pounds and I have 10 pnds till I hit my goal weight at 135, I loved Dr Rod and he is very professional and if you have any questions please email me sisterlisa @ live.com Lisa

I JUST TRIED THEM WITH GRANOLA CLUSTERS YOU KNOW THE KIND THAT YOU PUT IN YOUR YOGURT? WELL IT IS THE BOM!!!!

I WONDER IF WE COULD SUBSITUTE THE OATS FOR RICE CRISPIIES??? DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THAT WILL WORK OR ARE THEY FATTNING??

Hi there, You look wonderful!!! I too had surgery with Dr Rod, I am 6 months post and have lost 72 pounds and im very happy as well. How much weight have you lost with the sleeve??? My weight loss seems to be taking forever! I lose maybe 2 pounds a week and not sure why, I exercise but just slow weight loss. what are you doing to make the weight come off??? How much can you eat now in one setting??? Lisa

Hi Everyone! I havent been posting much here but I have been lurking almost everyday, On the 23rd I will be 6 months since surgery and I have lost a total of 71 pounds I havent changed my ticker yet. I have to say its been the best thing I have ever done for my self. I feel great and I love losing weight! I always have my Protein drink every morning and I do try and eat mostly protein every day, I also eat other things I shouldnt,lol. But I dont do it on a regular basis. My Dr told me that I can eat what ever I want cause I will only eat very little , its what you drink that is important. I work out about 3 times a week and I walk about 4 times a week, I just started lifting weights cause my arms are huge! I am in a size 10 pants and I cant remember when I was last in that size of pants. It totally feels great! The only problem I have is getting my Water in, I am not a water drinker and so I dont get all the water I need I put flavoring in it and that helps. I have 28pounds till goal! If there is anyone debating on getting the surgery, let me tell you the only regret is that I didnt get it done sooner. Thanks for reading, God Bless, Lisa

Hi there, I wanted to say good luck on your surgery, and I also had surgery with Dr Rod, its been 5 months since surgery and I have no complaints at all. I have lost 70 pounds and I feels fantastic! Good luck to you! I will pray for you for a speedy recovery and safe trip... Lisa~

Thank you so much for your reply, It is good info for me Congrats on your new baby!!!!!

I KNOW THIS IS A OLD POST BUT I WAS WONDERING YOU HAD SURGERY ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO NOW AND I WAS WONDERING HOW MUCH CAN YOU EAT NOW?? CAN YOU TELL THAT YOUR RESTRICTION HAS CHANGED?? IF I REMEMBER RIGHT YOU HAD A 32 BOUGIE THAT IS THE SAME AS ME AND I CAN EAT ABOUT 7 BITES OF SOMETHING AND IM FULL I WAS WONDERING HOW MUCH YOU CAN EAT NOW AND IF YOU ARE STILL MAINTAINING YOUR WEIGHT LOSS??? THANKS LISA

Sorry you had such a hard time, I also had my surgery with Dr Rod, I had the VSG and for me the gas was not that bad, thank god!! I totally agree with you on the pain meds, they were the worst!!! I did take some Vicodin with me, and after 2 days of pain I finally was able to take a real pain pill and that was good. I had no problems in Mexico except for the english barrier with the nurses. I had no sickness and not to bad of gas, but I also got the VSG not the plication. I hope you are doing well now. Take care, God bless, LIsa

I have been having like yellow bile coming up at night and after I eat do you have that also???

I am 7 weeks out and every time that my husband and I have sex I get sick to my stomach, I dont throw up cause I havent throwed up yet, I get that quizy feeling and mouth watering like im going to throw up, I dont know if its the motions with my stomach moving around or what but I have noticed if I take a drive I will sometimes get sick to my stomach also. I used to have a Iron stomach, anyone else having this problem??? Lisa Surgery: 7 weeks ago Total loss: 38 pounds!!

CHECKING MY TICKER

Great Job!!! You look great!

Hi kindra, Did you go to the Dr's??? What did they say?? I have been waking up in the middle of the night with burning in my throat from well I think that its that stong yucky yellow bile stuff from my stomach and was wondering if it is the same as what you are getting? Please let me know Lisa

Hi there, I have been getting some acid stuff coming up in my throat that burns it in the middle of the night, is this something that you are dealing with??? It's kinda like that yellow bile stuff you know when you throw up and there is nothing except that yellow crap?? well thats whats happening to me I was wondering if that is what your going thru too? Lisa

That is just awsome!!! How did you do it , do you just stick to the low carb , no sugar diet??? Lisa

Wow you are already on mushies, thats nice!! I am 2 weeks and still on full liquids, I was wondering what is liquid yogurt?? Does the yogurt that comes in the cups ok or does it have to be liquid?? That is a really good idea, I am having a hard time getting all my liquids in it seems that after I sip a few times I get full and it starts coming back up in my throat. Thanks lisa

I went to Dr Rodriguez, he did a perfect job!! I was sleeved 2 weeks ago. Loved him! and the hosp was very clean

Ya my Dr emailed me and said that it was part of the healing and try not to move alot or twist and said to use warm towels or heating pad. Congrats on your sleeve, im feeling pretty good other then that just seem to get full on my liquids fast, like if I take 1 more sip I can feel it coming back up like I am totally filled up Do you do that??

Hi there, I am 2 weeks post op and I when I move a certain way or twist to the left I get like a burning sensation in 1 spot. DId anyone else have that???

HI THERE. DOES THE 1/4 CUP AND 2 OUNCES ALSO GO FOR THE YOGURT AND CREAM Soup (SLIDER FOOD) AS WELL??

Hi, I would love the meatballs information!!! I was sleeved Nov 23rd almost 2 weeks, and I get weard noises in my tummy as well, im not hungry though. Now I will get like a burning in 1 spot when I move a certain way, I hope this is normal???? Good Luck Lisa

Hi there, Move over everyone here I come!! Please send prayers my way, headed to Mexico today!!! I will let you all know how it goes when I get back Good luck everyone too on there surgeries this week also! Thanks Lisa

Hi, I just seen on another post at OH that when you get surgery, sometimes you cant tell that you have any restriction and feel like a normal tummy, is that true?? Could you all just give me a idea on how you feel after surgery? Thanks, Lisa

There is lots of people that are not losing that much weight on it, I dont think it gets as tight as the sleeve and may stretch easy, im not a Dr just saying from what I have been hearing...
