Hi ladies, I had my sleeve at RO Beaumont with Dr. Krause on March 25, 2016. It's been a little over 12 weeks and I'm down from 215 to 164. I feel great but the mental part of this journey is NO JOKE. I still struggle with the "loss of my coping mechanism"- food. My relationship with food has totally changed (it had to). It's no longer all that fun to eat, it's more of a necessity to fuel my body and brain. Good luck to all of you! That's funny what you say about Rachel- I met her for the first time last month and when she asked me my goal weight, I said 145 (I'm 5"3") and she said, " that's way too low". That's the first time anyone on the ROB team ever said that to me. Anyway, I'm doing me and losing what my body allows, I'm not focusing on a number or what she said. :) also I went thru the St. Clare Shores Beaumont team for my 6 month diet/nutrition appts. It was closer to my work and easier to go straight there after. I went to RO w/ Krause because that's who a coworker went with and he was pleased. I'm very happy with Dr Krause.

Wow. That's awesome! Great job. You lost alot quickly! 140-145 is my goal too. It was never told to me that was too low, even by her and I'm bigger than you were pre surgery. 145 is a great goal, quite reasonable and achievable. I really want 145 to be my maintenence weight. If i could get to 135 which is low but gives me wiggle room.

Sooo everybody is going with Krause huh? My friend referred me to Hawasli but I forgot his name and when they started naming Dr's I said yeah Krause I believe that's him. Lol. Anyways I told my friend later and she said that wasn't her Dr. Buuuut I already committed to Krause. Plus it rolled off the tongue so nicely. Then I did my research and read review after review after review that he was basically the man. Once I finally met him, I knew Id chosen the right surgeon. I'm glad you had a good experience.

Do tell more about the mental difficulties.

My aunt just had the procedure done in April and she used Krause. He's the chief surgeon for the department and he's been doing this the longest of all the doctors. I learned that during the info session. Two more days until my eval! I just want to know what the next steps are after that.

Had it done yesterday. At home now. Not too much pain. Pretty rough waking up with pain and nausea but they went down. Hardest part was going that first day with no liquids as my mouth was really dry. Just have a little soreness and am slowly taking down Water.

I was sleeved 5/10 at St John Providence by Dr Kerry Kole. He was awesome. I have three incisions and one through the belly button. I've lost 31 lbs (including my one week pre surgery diet weight loss). Overall down 40 lbs from my highest weight.

Second day since my surgery and everything seems good. Just a little soreness if I bend down. The pain is less than when I had my gallbladder removed. Only been able to drink Clear Liquids. Made it through a 20 oz glass of Gatorade. I think I'm supposed to start Protein Shakes tomorrow. I have had no desire to eat food since the surgery.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
