Thought we could all convene here after our Feb sx so we could stay in touch....

Oh no!!!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Looks like I might be in the clear. They are thinking it's an allergic reaction to the bonding stuff they use.

So glad!!! Keep up the good work (:

I'm having my sleeve done this Thursday the 21st...I've lost 16 lbs with this liquid diet. I'm sooo excited but nervous all at the same time!!

Sleeved on Valentines Day. Came home from hospital on day 4. Stepped on scale to monitor progress...I was up 14 pounds after being down by 27 on day of surgery! What the heck...? Today I was down 5 of the 14. I had IV's while in the hospital and could understand a little water weight gain, but 14 pounds? Anyone have a similar experience or any answers?

I gained 18 lbs in fluid weight while in the hospital--but it came off pretty quickly--about a week. The next week I lost about 10 lbs. So my 2-week net loss was only 10 lbs, lower than others, but the fluid definitely puts you behind. I'm not sure why some people retain that much fluid and others don't. BTW most of my fluid was lost from diarrhea... it wasn't too bad, though it was good that I was at home.

The pain pills are killing me. Anyone taking children's tylenol?

I am occasionally. I started with liquid but its so thick it just about made me puke. Then switched to the chewables and they are much better but you have to take like 4-5 of them.

Are you on pills? My pain medicine is in liquid form

I'm on dilaudid pills. They are tiny. But I don't hurt enough for them. Need just plain Tylenol. My husband made me think I should just stick to orders.

Well I take tylenol when its not bad enough for pain pills. I am just taking pain meds at bedtime only and sometimes during the day tylenol

Thank you!

I was told not to use neosporin. I was sleeved on the 15th. The itching is the worst. Anyone still having the has pains? I am using the gas x thin strips, but when will it go away?

Sitting in the waiting room about to have my sleeve in about an hour!!! Very excited yet very nervous any words of advise???
