I sometimes wonder was there anuthing done. I'm like maybe the stomach is still there n they are lying to me. I don't know how different I thought I would feel...how do u feel when u eat. Mind u I started full liquid today n felt tightening n constriction...I'm guessing that's not normal

My doc told me its normal cuz there is swelling and healing going on. I'm on purees and sometimes it still hurts to eat. Drinking first thing in the morning sometimes hurts. Last week I had a golf ball feeling in my stomach when I drank. My doc told me that would go away and it has. Everyone heals differently. Some people feel no pain when they first eat or drink. Everyday gets a little better

I actually went to Dr. Salameh...why?...because he was the only one who took care credit ;) but he was a great choice! I work at the Crime Museum. If everyone wants to get together one day we could all meet at my museum and have a meet up! It might be fun!

Hi! I'm in Gaithersburg - work in DC. I'm new here but being sleeved soon. I've finished all of my pre-op appointments and had my last appointment with my surgeon on Wednesday (I'm using Dr. Brebbia with MedStar)... now I'm just waiting on the insurance to give the final ok... He said it shouldn't take long...

Call me a glutton for punishment, but I'm actually starting my pre-op diet Monday even though he only requires two weeks - I figure I may be on for an extra week or two but it's an opportunity for me to lose a little more weight since right now my appetite seems to be lower than normal (I just weaned off of two months of high dose Prednisone).

I'm glad to have found this group because I haven't found a local support group yet...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
