Hi, to all WNY'ers!!! I, just know I'm not the only one out there, lol! I'm 6 days post op, overall, doing well!!! So, how's everyone else doing???

It'll get better each day. Just keep sipping and make sure you're not taking gulps of Fluid. Mix it up and have some sugarfree Jello with u or popsicles. Try getting your Protein dtink on before u leave for work and on the way.

That's a good idea, thanks. I have Popsicles and jello. Started eating strained puréed this week and its nice to add a few things and have noticed feeling hungry a few times now. I just got a new strawberry Protein powder drink because I was getting sick of the chocolate.

Hi I'm from buffalo ny And I just got my psycologist report done and sent in and I got my blood work done and nurt classes are done now waiting to get a date I'm hoping to get a date in October since I have two weddings to go to in July and September so I'm hoping for October

Dr. Hoffman will be a married man when he sleeves you! His wedding is this month!

Yes, he got married yesterdat 7/5... !!!

Yes we do! Why are you being resleeved? I know how you are feeling. I originally had the band. On top of feeling sick all the time I felt like a total failure when the band didn't work for me. I hope you have better luck this time. When is your surgery?

I was one of the first 5 sleeved . My fundus has formed a pouch called a neofundus..dr hoffman will shave the excess off. Still just as nervouse the second time around...eeeek!!!

Hi I just joined and like that there's so much support. I am from Cheektowaga and am getting sleeved by Dr. Carauana at Sisters Hospital on 8/5. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow and Im getting so nervous and having mixed feelings. I keep telling myself that I can't continue on this path of destruction and I want to be healthy for my 2 small children. Is anyone else having their sleeves around that date? And best wishes to everyone that is or just had the sleeve.

I'm in Lockport and my sister and I were both sleeved in Mexico on June 24th. Both of us are doing very well and super exited by our new lives. Since 2 week pre-op I've lost 26lbs and my sister 34lbs. Since surgery, exactly 1 month-16lbs for me and 20 for her! You will rock this! It's a learning experience but it's not that hard, it's a lot of listening to your body. I've yo-yo dieted for 40 years and never knew this existed until February when a friend had it done. Absolutely awesome experience-so worth it!

I am very excited but scared. I've had 2 csections so I don't know what I'm worried about. Its great hearing that you and your sister are being successful! Congrats!!

My sister in law had the sleeve and she's going to go wit me. At first I thought I'd have to go alone so I had someone holding down the home front. Thank goodness she volunteered. Do you have some one with you?
