I got my date (October 15th) and my insurance approval. I'm excited and nervous. Who else is being sleeved in October?

Ok so i had he surgery today. Mouth is KKKKerrazzy dry. Teeth sticking to my lips' date=' something's gotta give. Driving me bananas. Have already gone through 4 cups of ice chips and walked around the floor 3X.

Sleeping on and off. I see 4 incisions The one that my stomach was pupped through is very very swollen.

I had lost 10.8 lbs pre-op but on one of my walking rounds, we found a scale. I am 9 lbs heavier![/quote']

I was the exact same way. All the gas they add load the pounds back on. I lost 10 lbs pre surgery. Then gained it vack after surgery. Now I am down 18 lbs. Feeling good. Surgery was Oct. 23

Congrats to you!! Sluggish or sleepy? Whatever they gave me in recovery is knocking me right out. I can fall out on a dime. I have been getting up and going to the restroom alone and will be able to walk alone too!

Congratulations! !!! Yay!!!!

My date was October 15. I've lost 17 lbs since then (256 to 239). I've been out of work the whole time' date=' and I go back on Monday -- so I'll get some feedback for sure!

Need to shop this weekend: I cleaned out my closet this week, and only have ONE pair of pants and ONE suit for work!!!

Wow you look wonderful. The inches off is so drastic. Congratulations

Go Kathy and fyrecraka! And every one else being sleeved today! Don't forget to keep us informed...:-)

hi there how are you doing ? How much have you lost in your first week post op?

How are you feeling today?

I'm feeling good thanks! I have been trying to stay hydrated - that's probably been the toughest thing. I'm surprised that I have little pain - not much gas pain either. I haven't used pain meds since the hospital. How r u doing?

Thanks all for the feedback on bowel movements - I had one today and felt great- I'm sure that's TMI but I was happy I didn't need to take anything to help alleviate it.

How are you doing

Question - how long do we keep these binders on?

hi there how are you doing ? How much have you lost in your first week post op?

I've lost about 16 lbs since surgery. So 2.5 weeks now. It will be great if it continues at that rate! How bout you?

Question - how long do we keep these binders on?

Are you talking about the wrap? I wore mine for about 2-3 weeks. Just this last week I stopped.

Yep that's what I mean - and ok I will plan on that - sometimes not the most comfortable thing u know lol

Question - how long do we keep these binders on?

Took mine off after 3 days but I had 0 pain and no issues I'd say play it by ear unless otherwise told by a doctor
