As August 2012 Vertical sleevers who started here on the vertical sleeve talk and then formed a group on Facebook where we could have more updated talk, discussions, post pictures, and support one another we have found that group a wonderful family support group, now we would like to invite any summer 2013 sleevers to come to a group we have formed for mentoring, help, and advice and hope to give back and some support to the new group....its a secret group so that you may feel comfortable discussing anything, (we have found there is nothing we dont discuss or that is TMI=to much information) you will need to add me as a friend and then I can add you to this group where its secret, please send a message with your friend request so I know you are a sleever here is my direct fb link so you can add me https://www.facebook.com/klyn.mcmickell....

Hey i was sleeved aug 28th 2012. I have been on a horrible stall! I am 157 right now I started at 240. Since March when I had my gallbladder out I have only lost 15 lbs! I bust ass at the gym normally doing 1 hr cardio and lifting for at least 30 mins. My np said I'm doing fine but I feel like I'm never hitting my goal! I see so many ppl sleeved around when I was already at goal! I'm so discouraged

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
