I am from Jefferson City and was sleeved on 4/11 in Columbia. I am tolerating food very well and have lost about 70# since Sept with 20 of that since surgery.

Definitely not. I'm still in too much pain to sit up in a chair for to long because of the location of my main incision. I have been waking up with an upset stomach everyday and by the time I get moving an take a shower I'm ready for some Tylenol from being so sore and laying down to rest. I'm giving it another week and I'm going to focus on healing that incision because I'm so ready to go back to work this being laid up crap isn't fun.

Hi everyone-I am new to the site. I am a patient of Dr. Minkin's, hopefully having my surgery done in September. I am halfway thru my 3 months of Dr. supervised weight loss. I have met with the surgeon. He seems great. Anybody else here have Minkin?

Hi, I'm from STL and having my sleeve with Dr Snow on nov 19. I was originally ached for Aug but decided to delay it because I am going on a 2 wk cruise and did not want to worry about complications away from home. So how are you doing now with the sleeve? I too have been torn between having band and sleeve. But I have done a lot of reading in FB groups and am leading towards the sleeve. Why did u decide to choose sleeve?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
