It won't come up in a search. It's a "Secret" group (per privacy settings) so you'll have to be added/invited to the group before you can view it.

The link is here. If you'd like to join' date=' please let me know.

Thank you, and good luck to you. I just wanted to share a suggestion for sleevers, your throat gets really sore from the tube and if they leave an NG tube in to suck blood out of your stomach over night. I requested a chloroseptic spray for my throat and they approved it and brought some in. Ahhh momentarily relief, lol. Now back to sleep. Zzzzz

The actual procedure is around 1 1/2 to 2 hour, buy you'd be in the OR for around 3 hours for all the prep work and stabilizing your breathing and sedating you. Then you go to PACE for like 1 to 2 hours to recover from anesthesia, then up to your room :D. Hope that helps.

      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
