clothes *do, fit more loosely... but not loosely enough, maybe? maybe I need to just drastically reduce my expectations. real talk: I had the surgery because my diabetes was completely out of control and now my blood sugars are normal, I can drink wine (we're talking 300 calories here, people... I burn it off in less than one walk) and I don't feel sick for the first time in years. there's something about losing a boatload of weight that's so appealing though and I'm not sure this surgery has made that easier?

Hmmmmm, I'm not a fitness coach, but do you think you are working out too much? If you are not able to eat many calories, and then these long walks and work outs, you will stall some. I am sure you already know muscle weighs more than fat, so there is that as well. You may be building muscle, so do not see a decrease in the scale. Do your clothes fit more loosely? Maybe that could be a victory to keep positive and help up your mood. Best regards Di

160lbs now so Fasting really works, also I'm hydrated AF lol

Hi, I'm was a month shy of 55 on July 23rd when I had mine. My doc said I had a major surgery, due to the fact that I had my lap band removed,. Which was bolted in with mesh and was attached to my abdomen. I was in pain for about 2 weeks. I went back to work after 2 weeks, and was still really weak. I'm 4 weeks out tomorrow and am finally feeling good. Still can't walk doe 30 min on the treadmill yet though like I used to. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I am 52. Had my surgery on July 23rd. I have had mostly good days but I do get tired a lot faster now. I have one more week in the purée stage so ready to start trying different food. Good Luck to everyone.

I am 63 and half way through the Supervised Medical Weight loss management. I have lost almost 20 pounds, focus on changing my attitude of food. I am trying to start this lifestyle change as I hope to get the surgery early 2019. However, my insurance is up in the air about if they are going to cover and bariatric surgery. I plan to keep going and I enjoy reading that others have gone through the gastric sleeve procedure with positive results.

Hi! I just got my sleeve yesterday. I was terrified!! Utterly terrified. I thought I was going to die on the table. Once you are in the pre-operating room, the doctors make you feel so good. When I was ready to go into the operating room, 4 people were wheeling me out!! I felt so safe because they were joking around and it made me feel getter. Just trust your room! You just had to force yourself to go. I am in very little pain right now. If you have any questions, please let me know!!

Hi, frogman, thanks so, so much for the excellent suggestion! My wife is the FB member in the family, and it's funny how it never even occurred to me to look either for social media groups or even simply other pyloric stenosis fora. I am definitely going to give these options a look, because I am really at the end of my rope, both in terms of the PS alone and the WLS questions on top of that, too. Again, much thanks for both the promptness and the compassion of your response!

This is hilarious. I’ve seen it a few times on here and ignored it..secretly it was grinding my gears 🤣 that doesn’t make you bitchy btw..makes you educated Thanks for the post.. I needed the laugh [emoji23] [emoji991] Instagram: milaalmodovar [emoji317] SC: almodovarmila

I hear you. You *might* have vagus nerve problems, but you might not. Does that mean you shouldn't have the surgery? Let me ask another question: You *might* get hit by a car crossing the street. Does that mean you shouldn't leave the house? No matter what we do, there are risks. Even doing nothing has risks, especially when it comes to our bodies. In your plea, I hear fear talking. It's time to tell fear to STFU. Good luck!
