I'm August 3. Would love to find a sleeve buddy. I'll be at Midoctor with Dr. Elias Ortiz.

Sleeved August 2nd with Dr. Ariel Ortiz (OCC)

Sleeved Aug 7. Thought the sleeve was the answer to hunger because the hormone is removed. I have never been so hungry - literally - I am so disappointed because while I can't eat lots anymore (thankfully), I'm actually more hungry than before. Is this just me or is anyone else experiencing the same?

I have absolutely no appetite what so ever. The last thing I ate was 2 spoons of chicken broth, 1/2 Popsicle and a sip of water @ 7pm last night. I'm still stuffed! Does anyone else feel full all the time?

Everyone is different. I go through times when I am really hungry and times when I am stuffed. Are you drinking plenty of fluids? Sometimes I feel hungry, but, what I needed was water. My body gets its signals mixed. If you haven't eaten in a while it might be true hunger. Try drinking water, wait 10-20 minutes, If you are still hungry eat a small amount. Also, be aware of head hunger. Thats the hard one for me.

I was sleeved on 8/6/13

August 19th for me with Dr. Q! Anyone else for that day?

Good luck to everyone this week. I'm tailing the end of the week and end of the month. I fly on Friday and my surgery is on Saturday.

Are u taking an acid reducer? My hunger got better after I went on one (sleeved on Aug 6). I still get hungry but it is an appropriate amount (when I haven't eaten for 3/4 hours).

Anyone getting sleeved in Mexico on or about Sept. 3rd? I'll be getting sleeved by Dr. Kelly and at hotel Lucerna through the 6th.

Still struggling with this but only sleeved on Aug. 21. I know the feeling. I'm hoping that once I get to eat more solid food, it will help with the hunger.

Yes, the Dr said to take the acid reducer for 2 months - plus I've always been on them, however, I am not getting in all my fluids so that could be a big part of it. Thanks for the advice :-)

Yep' date=' I think this is the way to go. [/quote']

Congrats - excellent results! Ditto on the reflux and WOW, wish I'd done this a while ago but better late than never! Good luck on the rest of your WL journey :-)

I am doing great too - have/had acid but I think I got it all under control now. I am almost 4 weeks post op - September 10th!

Which iron supplements do y'all take? Any recommendations? Thanks
