I am 26yrs old. I wanted to get this surgery done since 4 5yrs but my family was not supporting. I was back home at that time. Kept asking my parents they didn't approve it. I took my decision. I am proud of myself that i took my own decision for good. My roommate supported me even if she was against it. She accompanied me for Surgery. I lost 9kgs im 13days. Hoping for things to go smooth. I want to answer people who always made me realise that even after having everything i had one thing missing in my life , I am fat. Well wait and watch now. My dad is very happy after i told him about this surgery. Waiting for some good outcomes to tell my mom about it. I hope it is a life changing for us Sent from my SM-N950W using BariatricPal mobile app

That seems really early to add in that food choice. But praying your stats go normal

I wonder if Dr Needleman will give me any pictures of my innards? Do you suppose if I act very sweetly and ask politely he would? I have pictures of the different stages of my 2 EGD, I'm going to ask. Please Please? I don't care if the whole 🌎 thinks I'm a little off-beat, I think they would be neat to have!📃

I take 2 Flintstones chewables/day and my vitamin levels were good at my 3-month checkup. But, likely, your doctor's office or your Nutritionist will give you recommendations.

I was on your place two weeks ago. My main goal for the surgery is to get healthy. Had the surgery 6/4/2018. Rough first week but feeling better each day. Pain is gone. Everything functioning well. No hunger. Weight dropping like crazy. So happy with my decision. It is a life changing decision but with this decision I am off diabetic meds and blood pressure meds and it's not even 2 weeks. Would do it again. Sent from my XT1635-01 using BariatricPal mobile app

Yep I can report this really changes when you get to solids. Its just like wow, three bites I'm done!

Don't worry, your body is just catching up. You usually lose inches when you don't lose weight. Weight fluctuates a lot. It will be fine!

I know that I feel the same way. I can meet both my protein goals and water intake pretty easily, so I feel like nothing has changed yet. Maybe when I move on to solid food next week??

Hi guys and gals, This is insane! I started my journey at 287, a size 24 pant (that were a little on the tight side.) I had surgery on May 14th at 260. Today, just shy of 4 weeks out I weighed in at 239 (finally broke that damn stall). Anyways my clothes have literally been FALLING off me. I was just fine until about a week ago. So I went shopping today and grabbed some size 22s. Too big. So I grabbed some 20s. Still too big. So in total awe I grabbed some size 18s and holy mackerel they FIT. I almost died. And I tried on a shirt that was size 14/16 and it fit! I am on cloud 9 right now 😍. Hope all my fellow May surgery buddies are doing well!
