gastric sleeve

I am happy to say that as of surgery day oct 24 I weighed 251 ( oct 14 I weighed 261) and today I weighed in at 238, it’s only Nov 9th!!! I tell you what I am already feeling the inches come off, even when the scale don’t move It’s been a very easy healing process even though I jumped the gun...

I am almost 4 months out (Gastric Sleeve )and I have lost 70lbs total since a month before surgery (60lbs from surgery). This month I have just went back to normal eating (food selection not amount) and eating more then I probably should. Except for the obvious answers like, "you can't do that"...

Hey ya'll, my name is Kimberly and I'm 25 years old. I've struggled with my weight my entire life and have tried every diet possible to man. I yo-yo'd all over the place and no matter what always gained the weight back. I'm the heaviest I've ever been right now at 421.6 lbs. I'm 6' tall though...

Hello all, Natalie here. I am 31, 5’2” SW: 255/GW: 135, no co-morbidities. I am just getting started on my WLS journey. I just had my initial consult yesterday and am a little overwhelmed. I have been overweight for most of my adult life and just am ready to make a major change in my life. I...

Hi, this is my first post but I often read here, so thank you to everyone for all your help. I had gastric sleeve surgery a month ago. I was wondering if anyone has had problems with having a bowel movement. I hardly have one and I’m sure that’s not good for me. I thought I had an appointment...

Hi everyone, my name is Melissa. I'm scheduled for gastric sleeve surgery on the 25 of June 2019. My pre-op "liquid" diet begins this Monday, the 10th, two weeks before my surgery. I wasn't previously as nervous as I feel now, approaching the date. Although, my process towards finally making the...

Hello! My name is Twilight (nickname) and I am 39. I had gastric sleeve surgery on March 26th of this year and am very excited to develop a better quality of life so I can be a better mother and wife. I have been permanently disabled since 2008 but didn't begin to gain large amounts of weight...

Hi, all. I had my surgery in August and really struggled in the beginning. I've kept my surgery a secret for the most part, only people close in my life know about it. In the beginning, I struggled a lot mentally with the surgery. Knowing that I couldn't use food/eating as my coping...

HI everyone. I have another 75 to loose after losing about 40ish pounds with diet and exercise. Need your help though, as I need to know if the sleeve is a good option for me. I am an over eater. I eat when bored, sad, mad etc. Odly enough however, I am fit and healthy. I can lift 10lb...

Would like to hear from people who had surgery with this doctor, or with people who might be considering to have WLS with Dr Lopez Corvala in Mexico :) Thank you

I haven't really seen any questions about smoking during post op, so I gathered some information on the subject for those of you who had any questions. Simply for educational purposes. Just in case your surgeon didn't go into much detail and just told you to quit smoking with no reason why. The...

I am 45 days post gastric sleeve, everything seemed to be going well for the first 2 weeks and then I began to get nauseated all the time. Just looking at a protein shake would send me into stomach spams. Doctor had me get an ultrasound and they decided I was suffering from gall stones...

I stumbled across this site while ordering my protein shakes. I was given a surgery date of 12/30/16 and I start the liquid diet 12/16/16. I am diabetic and have RA. I have told 5 friends and of course my about the upcoming gastric sleeve surgery. How and when did YOU share the news?
