Hey guys I saw a thread from 2011 that I wanted to continue. I love all of my vsgers but as we know african american women tend to carry weight differently. I would love to follow you ladies on your journey and for us all to support each other.

I was sleeved on September 5th so I'm a week out. I'm doing good so far and feeling better everyday. I stayed at the hospital 3 days mostly because they discovered my allergy to morphine while I was on the pump with a fever and my entire body on fire. But I'm home now and much better. I was just moved to the full liquids stage so I'm pretty happy considering that the liquids stage made me nauseous. I've lost 24 lbs since my surgery so any pain I have is over shadowed by my joy.

Looking forward to hearing from you ladies and seeing some progress pics!

Congratulations @Wana77. You have lost 21 pounds!!!

@@RZD_1123 Hey Im getting sleeved on Nov 5th as well

Heyyyy everyone! Newbie here...from upstate NY...recently sleeved on 10/26/15!

Hi All, I was sleeved on 9/22/2015 and have lost a total of 28 lbs. since surgery. I DEFINITELY had to learn my new tummy because when I started purees I could not tolerate food for almost two weeks. I'm better now, had to be put on proton pump inhibitor and took about 5 days to kick in. The gas and bloating were bad but seems to be getting better. I'm looking forward to my goal. WE can do this!

Hi Kisha, how are you doing since your surgery? I am looking forward to joining the club, lol.

I'm okay! Very emotional but I'm sure that will pass with time.

I was sleeved at UOC with Dr. Hussain my experience has been great!! I have lost 85lbs so far, best decision I made for me

How did everyone do with their preoperative appointments? Was there any issues? I'm getting ready to have my endoscopy and sleep study done and I'm a little nervous.

I just had my endoscopy today and it went well, it really is simple and painless. Feels like your taking a nap for sure and no pain afterwards. Scariest part for me was being put to sleep cause I get paranoid lol

I use a cpap machine already so the only thing I had to do is be in compliance of using it so if you have one or are put on one be sure to use it daily and they will require you to bring it to the hospital when you have surgery to use afterwards
