I was sleeved May 10. Lost 15 pounds on the pre-op diet and 21 more since. Feeling great and no complications at all. Did a 7 mile bike ride this morning and then ate 2 scrambled eggs for breakfast with no problem. 2 weeks ago I never thought I'd feel this normal this fast.

Wow, that is awesome!

I was also sleeved May 10th & feeling fantastic, but have yet to do any exercise, have to get on that!

It seems as thought May 10th was a popular day! :) I was also sleeved on the 10th, and as of last Tuesday, am down 26.5 lbs since surgery. I seem to be stuck since then, but I go back to my doctor to get weighed and have my first batch of bloodwork done next Monday, so I'll know for sure then.

Sharon, you have another facebook add! :D

Sleeved May 14th. Had a bit of a complication day 6 and was unable to keep fluids down, doc thought I had a stricture. Turned out to be a gastroparesis,was put on meds to get stomach working again and just started to hold down fluids yesterday finally. Lost 11 pounds since surgery, 16 since pre- op, and total 23 since I started seeing nut.

I was sleeved may 23rd - lost 4 lbs pre-op (I didn't have to do a pre-op diet - but I did start cutting things out of my diet) have lost 8 lbs since surgery - so started at 24 am now 211

I was sleeved 5/23 too but am too scared to get on the scale! My highest weight was in January of this year, 302 lb. I lost 19 pounds during the Kaiser Options program and my one week liquid pre-op.

Well, tomorrow morning is the day I get sleeved....I am so excited and not nervous (not yet anyway). I have been waiting what seems like forever to get this done and am so ready to start my journey to a smaller, healthier lifestyle!

Congrats and good luck! It's a breeze!

Sleeved on the 7th. Total of 30lbs down. 19 since the sleeve. That is only 3 weeks! Thrilled with my sleeve. I haven't been able to exercise the last 3 days, due to pain in my right side hurts when I walk and breathe. :-(

I am 6 days post op and have lost 20 lbs including pre op diet. The key to weight loss productivity is walking!

Melissa d, I was sleeved on may 17 and just got out of the hospital with an infection in my main middle incision. I had the worst pain. Fever hit me day 4 and I was in the er. It was high. The surgeon had to cut me back open and clean my infection. 3 days of iv antibiotics, and home on another. My incision is Prob 3 inches deep mo

Joke and wide open. I was also dehydrated and low potassium and all I did was sip sip sip! Hope for your sake it's not an infection. Keep us posted. This has been a very hard time for me and my family but I'm thankful it wasn't serious or life threatening!

Surgery may 21. 250.5 day of, now 238.3 exactly one week later. Really eyeing 219 since I haven't broken 220 in like 5 years!

I was sleeved May 9th. I've lost a total of 22lbs and that includes pre-op diet, but I haven't list anything in a week. I don't get it. I can't fathom why the.weight stopped and even went yi a few times. I'm honestly feeling kind of.negative about the whole situation. :o(

Mommyinneed, no I didn't have an infection. I was just being a worry wart. 2 weeks out now, just started on mushies & doing great. I had my doc look at it and she said it looked normal and I said are you sure? Lol, I'm the type who needs something to worry about.

I was somewhat dehydrated (from my trip home) which led to an electrolyte imbalance & low heart rate, but that was easily fixed with Gatorade & 100 oz of Fluid for 4 days straight.

Now I'm just worried that one day this wonderful, wonderful weight loss will end & reverse itself like it has so many times before. It just seems too good to be true....but like I said I need something to worry about ;)

Hope you are all better, or getting there! That doesn't sound like it was fun at all.
