I am scheduled for September 18th with Dr. David Kim at Baylor Trophy Club Medical Center in Fort Worth. I'm nervous about the procedure but ready to take the next step on my journey.

Wow lucky you.. I started to go to Dr. Kim and he wouldn't do his surgery anywhere but Forest Park Medical in North Dallas.. A hospital that he owns part of... I changed to Dr. Smith at Fort Worth Lap Band and I will be at Baylor Trophy Club on the 12th... Three more wake ups!

I was sleeved on the morning of the 7th and my worst fears were unfounded. Got home from the hospital at around 3 today, and it's no picnic, but not as bad as I imagined it would be. For those of you going later this month, try to remember the Biotene spray for your dry mouth, and the Gas-EX strips for the gas. They really do make a difference.

We don't own a scale, so I have to wait until my Dr. appointment on Thursday to find out if I lost anything yet. Best of luck to the rest of the September Sleevers.

Much love,

MC

Gas-x strips doesn't help me :( how often you take then? Does it help you with burping? I was sleeved at 7th as well and has huge problem with burping a lot

Hope everyone is doing well. I was able to walk some yesterday for the first time since my surgery (real walking not just to the bathroom). My tummy is still super swollen and very sore, but I feel a little better with each day. I am really struggling with getting my liquids in. I start as soon as I wake up and am only getting in about 20oz a day right now. It is driving me nuts. I have also had this rumbling in my stomach that I was mistaking for hunger and think now that it is gas. So, that is probably contributing to some of the tightness and swelling in my belly that is making me feel so bad. I had to skip dinner all together bc I just couldn't get anything else in there. Going to call my doctor's office tomorrow to see what they recommend to help with possibly going to the bathroom. Hoping that will solve all of my problems. :) Just giving an update bc some of you asked us to keep you updated postop so you'd know what to expect.

Hope everyone has a great week! For those scheduled this week, good luck! :)

      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?

      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
