I was also sleeved by Dr. Bagloo, and agree with atontor, she is the best, and so are the staff there. I lost 105lbs in total, in less than a year. So happy with my decision.

Good luck everyone ;)

Hi yall! I'm a band to bypass patient and finally submitted all my paperwork for approval a week ago. My nerves are shot! I'm also having my surgery done at monte. My surgeon is Dr. Choi. Who is yours? She's possibly THE nicest surgeon there. She did my band with no problems 4 yrs ago.

Hey guys, I finished my testing hopefully they accept my doctors visits as replacements for the counseling. I will find out on the 21st. Crosses fingers. Dr. Choi is great btw. She knows her stuff. She will be the surgeon for myself and my mother so I hope we both get cleared soon.

Hi I am new to this forum and recently had my surgery on August 24th in Nassau. I have been reading a lot of how much weight people have lost in the first month and I feel like maybe I'm doing something wrong because I only lost 14lbs my first month. Did anyone else have such a slow weight loss? Also can anyone tell me what you ate for the soft phase and how the transition to regular food was. Thanks

The overall experience was a lot to handle for me. I had to stay 2 days in the hospital because i was having a lot of pain. The pain was from all the air they put inside you and I just couldn't release it and that hurt more than anything. After about a week I was already back at work but I have a desk job so it was easy. The pain from incisions was bearable its just the air that gets inside you that hurt the most for me. It's been 4 weeks for me and i am officially 100% back to normal.

No bother at all. I am happy with the sleeve now. In the beginning i had my moments where i said why did I do this and is it worth it but after the pain and everything subsided I am glad now about my decision.I am tolerating food very well actually. I feel as if i am ready to move on to solid foods but my dr said to wait for 6 weeks post so its only been 4. I definitely don't eat a lot anymore and I recently started to feel a little bit hungry here and there but not like it used to be.

Hi. Everyone loses weight differently. I ate purée foods for 2 weeks ( I puréed Beans and chicken to get all my protein) and then the dr changed to soft good I ate boiled egg whites. Apple sauce, soft chicken, ground chicken. Chili.

I'm 16 weeks post op and I'm down 95 lbs since surgery and 110 since my pre op diet.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
