Hi, I'm new here and just fumbling around.  Just had sleeve gastrectomy 10 days ago, lost 25 lbs initially but none since.  Is this normal?  I'm following diet and exercise plans to a T.  Anyway, I look forward to hearing from some of you!

Welcome and congratulations on your sleeve. I'm having mine on Tuesday and I can't wait!

Have you checked out the VSG forum under Surgical Forums? I really like that one because most everybody that posts on there have had the same surgery and there is alot of very inspiring people on there. 

See you on the loosers bench after Tue.

Congratulations on a great first month.  You will fall into a slower wl pattern after the initial quick drop.  Perhaps stall a little until your body adjusts, then start loosing again.  There are several versions of normal so just be patient.   Some of us never got that initial jump start even following the rules to the letter. 

I hope you'll post here often.  This board needs some regiular activity.

Unfortunately, I 've had a setback.  I was standing up and sneezed at the same time......at day 12, I felt like my innards were coming undone!  Since then, I have put on a backbrace backwards to help support, since I can't seem to be able to get a abdominal binder anywhere.  All pharmacies around my area want to have a MD order 1st.  As a nurse myself, I've never heard of this....anyone have any ideas?
a healthier me is on the way!
