Challenge accepted. Before shots are from the day before surgery March 2017. After shot is from last week. I have been taking weekly shots since surgery day.

I went with Dr Joshua Long in Lone Tree, his team is amazing. Sent from my Pixel 3 using BariatricPal mobile app

It can take weeks for the swelling and air to release from your body....

Just had it yesterday the 18th day the first 12hrs was a lil much don’t be nervous to ask for more meds I sure did, and if they offer you a block in ur stomach take it, also ask for a abdominal band they are great!

Discharged from Hospital this afternoon. Feeling pretty great, so hoping it stays this way even when I'm off the heavy pain meds. Made Christmas cookies tonight, and realized that old habits die hard. A couple times got some icing on my fingers, and first reaction is to just lick it off! Of course I didn't do that, and washed my hands instead, but it made me extra mindful of my old bad habits! Off to bed now, have a great night everyone!

I’m tomorrow as well! I roll into the hospital at 5:15am, Not sure when the surgery will actually start. RNY.

I had surgery with Dr.Weaver at the same practice as Dr.Synder this past August and had a great experience. Dr.Synder has been around quite awhile and is well respected. It’s a pretty well organized program (minus some billing issues I am still dealing with, but no fault of the providers). Hilary, the nutritionist, is really kind and knowledgeable. Elaine, the NP you follow after surgery, is also great. Rose provided top notch care too. I had a one night stay and fairly easy recovery. You’ll be in good hands with their program!

I DID AND STILL DO TAKES A WHILE FOR THE BRAIN TO CATCH UP WITH THE BODY

I've been upgraded to clear liquids!! Will be discharged later today. Ahhhh...It's just so exciting!! I feel great!!! Perhaps in January, we can move this thread to post-op and continue to support each other, share tips and tricks, recipes, etc, and of course share our weight loss stats!

have someone take photos every month on your surgery date. There were times I couldn't see my progress, either, but when I compared photos from different months, yep - there it was. Clear as day!
