I had the sleeve done a couple days ago, and I feel like no one around me knows the pain I'm in. Sometimes I feel I won't accept my "new body" since I've been overweight basically since my adolescent. Probably just need to vent.

@@AmyQwith2 how are you feeling so far? Any head hungers?

So sorry - haven't been on here much. I feel GREAT! Not fighting my head hunger daily, although it does hit at times when we are out. 20.4 lbs down since surgery and another 10 before.

May 24th Dr. Ewing

I had my surgery April 6th at Princeton/Plainsboro hospital. My head hungers are driving me crazy.

I have only lost 7lbs and am frustrated because I thought I would drop weight quickly.

I had my surgery on April 5 and at my last apt I was minus 16 lbs which I am happy with. The only issues I have are fatigue and a pain/soreness in my chest. Has anyone else had this? Is it normal? Of course my mind goes to the all the worst places and I make myself nervous.

HI Jill,

Congratulations. Did You go in Surgery at around 10. I was there the same day and Dr. Ewing came to see me and my hubby and after signing papers and talking for a bit he said i had someone before me. I went in at around 12 and unfortunately i couldnt get the sleeve done because my band had slipped. So i go on May 24th. I'm doing fine It sounds like you are on track. All what you are feeling are normal it will get better WOW 16 lbs great job..

@@staceyatw3 my head hungers are driving me crazy too!! I wish i could lose the weight quicker too lol but it takes time, and I notice I have to force my self to drink Water because I notice I'm not as thirsty as I was before.

Ha! What a small world we live in!! Yes I did go in around 10 and have zero memory of anything except waking up in recovery. I'm sorry to hear you couldn't get your procedure done. I just wanted to make sure what I am feeling is normal and will go away in a couple weeks. I am glad I found this site.

Is this your first WLS or did you revise and if so to what? This site is great i have been on here since my lapband in 2006 and 10 years later im on again. Dr. Ewing is great Same Doctor since 2006.

This was the first surgery I ever had in my life which is probably why I am so unsure about everything I am feeling.

Your right on Track. Hang in there it is going to get better day by day!!
