I was sleeved June 3rd. I went with Dr. Jacobs. By far the greatest thing I have done. I am 7 weeks today and down 66 pounds. Listen to the doctor and start walking as soon as you can.

I am in Miami. If you need anything do not hesitate to ask

Hey guys I am 5 days post op from the gastric sleeve. I got back from walking and I noticed that I was having some pinkish looking liquid coming from the incision on my belly button. Has anyone else had this problem. Its Sat and my doctors office is closed. Thanks

I am

Mark thanks for the inspiration. I was sleeved June 3rd and was 481 pounds. A week later I am down to 454. But reading this lets me no it is possible

sorry I didn't get back to you all spoke to the doctor said that I probably just tore a little bit of the glue over the suture and that as long as its not red smelly or painful I have no infection and just rest up until it stops

Hey sorry I didn't get back to all of you. The doctor did call me back. Said that I probably cracked the glue a little. Said if it is not red, painful our smelly that I have no infection and take it easy so that it can seal up.

I had my surgery June 3rd and was sent home the next day. I was given pain meds while in the hospital but my doctor told me once home to use Tylenol or Advil. Has anyone else experianced this. Thanks

The doctors office had an emergency call number. I called and they said they will contact the doctor and get back to me

I got sleeved June 3 also. Already down 9 pounds but still in a lot of pain.

Hi, my name is Jeff and I am 22 years old. I used to be thin while in high school but I got injured playing sports and stopped but kept eating. I went to a seminar today near my home and met with a doctor about getting the LAP-BAND® done. The doctor said how the LAP-BAND® is mainly for people who eat a lot of food but doesn't work on people that eat a lot of soft calories like soda, milk shakes soft breads etc. So I got really happy because I felt he was describing me. Then he goes on to say that people who are at my weight and BMI have a very low success rate. That I am better of getting the bypass. That with the LAP-BAND® I will only lose 100 or so pounds and that I wouldn't be happy. I have another apt with another doctor on Thursday but I would like to hear it from people that have gone through this. Thanks a lot I weight 430 lbs and a BMI of 62
