I was sleeved on Feb 26 and I'm just curious as to when the scale will begin to move for you veteran sleevers.

I am a week and a day- 25th

Preop I was 307

After surgery I was 319!!!!!

Now I am 303.6

It SEEMS like alot--- but really it's just all that bloat/gas from surgery so I'm actually disappointed its less than 5

I expected at least 10-15 of actual FAT!!!

I still haven't slept in bed but one night and I'm still sore etc

I was 26th as well. I'm down 16 since surgery. Your body may be holding on to all those liquids they pumped into you in the hospital.

Remember one gallon weighs about 8lbs. Each iv bag is aprox .21 gallons or 785cc. If you got two iv bags that's almost half a gallon or 4lbs of Water alone. More if you got more iv bags. :-)

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
