 Hey everyone!  Just wanted to stop in and see what this group is about.  I had the sleeve procedure done Aug 11, 2011.  I have lost 27 pounds so far.  I have had a few glitches along the way regarding staying hydrated enough, but I think I have that figured out.  
I am encountering my first cold this week.  Went to my family practice doctor and am now on antibiotics.  Do anyone else have problems with weak immune systems?  Seems I get one thing under control and another thing crops up for me.
I am feeling pretty ok otherwise.  
I don't have a huge support system where I am at the moment.  I am back to classes at UNI, and can't wait to graduate in May.  I have an 8 year old daughter who is busy as all get out.  My mom and I are very close which is great too.
I hope you all have a super Friday.

welcome and congrats on Sleeve surgery.  I am one of the ones that can say I have been blessed with no problems and no sicknesses yet (knock on wood).  But it is nice to meet you and support is a big thing for me I think... you can add me as a friend if you like :) again congrats on surgery and your weight loss that is awesome.  :)

welcome !  congrats on the VSG choice. I am happy with mine!
i don't think it' unusual to get a cold or anything post op, you've been thru a lot with surgery. the body needs to adjust.
keep on the fluids!

Welcome to the group Julie.  Congrats on your wls and success so far.  Yes, we will come across bugs from time to time.  You are still in the healing process.  Keep fluids up and follow your surgeon's orders. 

I agree that support is a big issue, that is the main reason I am here.  My life overtook for a bit, but I am back and catching up.  Yayyyy wls.

I had RNY 2 years ago, VSG was not an option for me at that time, so I had not done much research on it.  I have heard great things from others.  I stalled out for a long time and am not slowly losing again.  I do not aim for rail thin, just "normal" size.  I see it getting closer each week.  Post often and share your journey with us.  Hugs
