sassy sleeved, I know the 2 options are Royal Oak & Troy? I've never been to Royal Oak. Troy is closer to me & I love Troy, its really nice. Is Royal Oak nice too? Wondering why some people choose Royal Oak over Troy?

I am closer to Troy, too, but had my surgery in Royal Oak. My surgeon, Chengelis, goes between both and he was in RO on the date I wanted. Either one is totally fine.

I'm being revised from band on October 18th at Troy by Krause. He did my LapBand at Royal Oak. Troy is so much closer to home so I was happy to have the VSG scheduled there.

I'm 2 days out post op. Definitely harder than I expected. Im starving so my stomach hurts from hunger pains and when I sip in anything, hurts going down. I'm hoping this goes away eventually? I throw up the liquid pain meds bc its so Gross and doesn't sit in my tummy well, it hurts to throw up. Whats the average amount of days your in pain for post op surgery? An estimate?

I didn't have any pain post op. I filled my prescription for pain medicine but never used it for the sleeve surgery. Glad I had the meds though because I started getting gout attacks left and right and those pain pills worked well.

For those who were sleeved by Krause how did you keep your belly button clean? I notice a slight odor from it. I shower daily with Dial and pat dry so I don't know. Did you actually go inside and clean it out? I'm 11 days post.

Michigan Sleevers: For those who went through Beaumont's Weight Control Program, during the time you were going through all the testing & appointments, did you lose weight? At my first dr. appointment, he said he wanted me to lose 10% of my weight before surgery. This isn't an insurance requirement, just a target he wanted me to go for. I started losing but then totally went off the bandwagon. My final dr. appointment is this week and I am terrified he will reject me bc I am not losing. This is the appointment where the dr. Approves or disapproves me going forward to meet with the surgeon. Help! What were your experiences?

      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?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
