checking in with February sleevers

Hello All,

I am checking in to see how everyone is doing. I was sleeved from a band on February 26th, 2018. I am so thrilled with the results. I went through what most people described here as 3 month stalls, 5 month stalls, 6 month stalls, Than I start loosing again. I have to say this tool is now really starting to be powerful. A lot of my old habits are slipping away, especially my compulsiveness with food. Would love to hear about good bad and the ugly.

Anyone out there with a lap band still in and struggling with throwing up on a regular basis and minimal weight loss, talk to your Dr. I found a new practice and it was done in one surgery. I regret going on as long as I did with my lap band not working, and so afraid that I would fail again like so many times before. I can honestly say, I am not failing at gastric sleeve bariatric surgery. This is what I had hoped my sleeve would do.

anyone out there considering a revision and needs to ask questions please ask.

Dawn Marie

I feel pretty good been walk on my incline treadmill a lot. I brought it into the living room before surgery. I do still have some soreness on my right side, I will get tired some times and sometimes I will stand up and get dizzy. Thhinking that’s from three 3grams of sugar I’m my shakes and still taking a medication for high sugar twice a day.

pain on the right side is something I remember. I went bowling the day after my surgery (kind of dumb) and pulled something.

you really need to take it easy for a while after surgery, think about how few calories you are eating.

dont get up to quick.

Has your weight loss been steady?

I think to be really successful here (surgery) you need to follow the rules.

I had a cousin who couldn't follow the rules and has only lost 30 pounds.

Please don't eat earlier than suggested.

Yes I feel good watching the scale go in a different direction. Something I notice now is that every other commercial is food. While I’m drinking all liquids
