I had the single incision sleeve gastrectomy my Dr. Alan Saber at University Hospital in Cleveland Ohio. It was the best experience I could have ever had! The recovery time for me was about a week and the best part is you can't even tell I had surgery!

Haha Lissa, you are so right! Since all the ladies in my office started realizing how my weight was disappearing and knew about the surgery they all joined weight watchers and some of them even started going to work out classes together- I have been with the same ladies for almost 3 years and we always brought in sweets and goodies and NO ONE ever started a diet trend lol now it's almost as if the are obsessed constantly asking- "so how much have you lost now" like it's a game haha I just laugh now.

It is called jealousy my friend! I had a best friend, she the vertical sleeve done April of 2011. It definitely perked my interest because everyone always thought we were sisters cause we looked so much alike including the yoyo roller coaster ride our weight took. I figured if it worked for her it has to work for me. I started asking her all the questions I could think of and at first she was ok then she started to get irritated with me and wanted nothing to do with me as my surgery date got closer. Then the day I had surgery I texted her and said hey do you know any good ways to help get rid of the gas? She said- I had no clue you were having surgery ( even after I had told her the date numerous times) then said FYI just keep walking it helps with the gas. Then poof the week after surgery she wouldn't return my calls texts nothing- I am four months out of surgery now and still have not heard from her. I hope that you have close friends that no matter how you change throughout this life changing experience that they will stick by your side. It is sad but as you start lookin good and your confidence is back you will realize how many people will treat you differently- some not so good but then others will be great and you will meet a lot more good people- like on here:)

Wowza! We obviously need you here!

Ok it's 12:14am in Ohio right now and you all have me thinking about any Mexican places that would be open!!!! Chicken chimichanga! Yum

Ok so I am almost 5 months out and have only lost about 65 pounds. I am concerned it is because I have not started a regular exercise routine. When everyone else started going to the gym regularly- is that when you noticed the weight just starting to melt off? I am getting frustrated only consuming 1000-1100 calories a day and I feel like my weight loss is hitting a plateau- suggestions????

A great true unflavored protein would be Unjury. I tried many " unflavored" proteins but Unjurys proved to be amazing- no funky after taste or anything!
