I'm post op since April 10 . I'm down 33 lbs. good moth. Share your progress. Positivity is contagious.

Was sleeved April 30th. Down 44 pounds and two dress sizes. Of the 44 pounds 15 was pre op. I do get hungry quite a bit, but I can't eat a lot. Guess that's a plus....

Sleeved 4/23/13: HW 313, SW 273, CW 234! Down 79 since last year including 39 since surgery. Finding bones I didn't know I had! Lol!

Sleeved 4/16 surgery weight 265 , as of this morning weight 212.... Down 53 pounds and feeling great

Today was my mid week weigh and I loss 2 lbs in three days! Haven't done that since week of surgery. Hoorah!

Sleeved April 29. Pre-surgical weight was 278. Lost 50 pounds in 9 weeks. Working out consistently on elliptical. Dr. is concerned I am exercising too many days a week and Losing weight too fast. First time I ever had a Dr. tell me that before. I suppose I am getting bit obsessive.

Sleeved 4/26, as of today down 40lbs since surgery plus 16lbs Pre surgery. Can't remember last time I felt this good or happy :-)

Hi, my name is Jayme, I was just sleeved on June 28th, let me start by saying that was a horrific surgery, I'm so sore, I don't feel hungry at all, just a bit thirsty. I am six days out from surgery amd don't see a way to return to work just yet, I can't even get thru an entire shower yet without having gas pains rise into my shoulders, and cripple me to the point I can't even dress myself... what am I doing wrong, I feel like things should be better by now

Just keep walking as much as you can. I promise it will pass soon and you'll feel better!

It gets better with time I know you are probably hearing that a lot but really it does. I have quite a few what the hell did I do to myself moments. I was sleeved well revised from lap band on 5/23/13 and I am finally loving my sleeve.

At Ghp in Michigan we're given something for " bowel spasms" A pill taken sublingual every 4 hours. I set my phone timer to it and didn't have gas again. I think it was a 10 day prescription. Sorry, I can't remember the name and I'm not home. Did anyone know.?

I've not heard of it, that would be great if I could find gas relief

Gas ex strips worked wonders for me. The pills took forever to kick in. I also had my husband to kind of beat on my back and shoulder blades to break the gas up. Kinda like burping a baby but a little harder lol. The more you move the faster it will break up, too. I know it's hard. It gets better.

I was thinking about those, something has to give seriously

Try a warm heating pad and some peppermint tea. It took me 3 weeks to reabsorb the gas pain in my shoulder. The shoulder pain is often from surgery, not the burping kind of gas.

I'll check at home Monday. But does work fast. They are white and real tiny.
