Hello! I was sleeved on Apr. 24, so just one week ago. I can't believe how good I feel just one week out. I just have a little soreness in my belly area. Just getting used to the rules for the next couple months, so I can be healthy for the rest of my life.

I'm in the same boat, sleeved on 4/23. Congrats! Looking forward to the losers bench.

Yay we are sleeve buddies. I was also sleeved 4/24! I still have a lot of soreness in one incisions. But I have not taken any pain Mede since I left the hospital.

I was sleeved on the 24th and I think I am turning the corner to feeling better. One incision still hurts....but is getting better each day. Had my post op follow up today. Lost 20 lbs since surgery down to 219! I start multivitamins on my 2 week surgery date and start puréed food. Progress!

I was also sleeved the 24th..hi..as for myself I was so sick and in pain my first week..couldn't drink had to get meds to stop vomiting..but I am much better now..my post op appointment is may 15..can't wait to have something different.I am not eating enough protein or water is my concern..I figured out I was drinking 3oz at once and it was way too much so now I'm doing one ounce every 10 minutes. and I'm able have more like that

I was sleeved April 26th weight loss has been slow for me. I was weighting 237 day of surgery today 6 weeks out I am at 212 but seem to be flucating between 212 and 215. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Can any provide any suggestions

Abg...every body different..I was

weighing 270..now I am 243..slow for me too

Seemed fast at first...thn stalled for 3 wks..I think it's going pick up now my diet changed

I have been stuck at 211 and went back up to212 is this normal

I have been fortunate...no stalls and getting close to onderland which I have not seen since 2009. I have read stalls are common and some people gain then will have a nice drop. So be patient get your fluids and Protein in and give it time.

you want same weight goal as me.. I was 278 now 236..you are losing great..good luck on your trip..

Are you eating your protein?and shakes maybe you're not eating enough

Revised from the Lap Band (ugh) to the Sleeve on 4/22/13... total loss since surgery 29lbs... Dr says I'm doing great, I thought I was going slow... I finally came to the realization, that I didn't put on all this weight in one day & I can't expect for it to come off over night... Even if it takes me a year, I know I will do it

Wondering how everyone is doing? I was also sleeved on 4/23. As of yesterday I am 78 lbs down. Lots of hair loss, but overall feeling really great!

I am down 50....and am shedding hair. It's very thin all over! But I look and feel great. Thinking about buying a wig till I stop shedding. Are you part of our spring VSG Facebook? Mostly us April sleevers there. We talk about the hair shedding and many topics since most of us are experiencing the same things right now.
