Tanika, I go through MA General Weight Center, my surgeon is Dr. Miereles. He is awesome! They have support groups. Where in Boston are you?

Hi All... I live in Winthrop, little town seven miles north of Boston. I had Sleeve surgery in May 2012, and had a revision to RNY in March 2014, because of severe reflux. I did not need to lose more than 15 pounds with the revision. I had both surgeries at MA General, and the awesome Dr. Meireles. I went from a size 26 to a size 8 . I've definately had some bumps along the way, would I do sleeve again...in a heartbeat...would I do RNY again, probably not.

Hi All.. I am 5 days post op today. I feel great. Today is the first day I have been able to get a whole greek yogurt down for Breakfast and an additional 8oz of Vitamin Water. Swelling seem to be subsiding more and more every day. Walking has been key for me. I have had very little pain associated with the surgery, just a little when eating and drinking, so just listening to my body to tell me when I have had enough. I tried a Protein shake yesterday, but it was just too thick. Will give it a try again today. I did also have a pain on my left side, I figured it was some organ that was moved out of the way during surgery lol. I also tire easily, so I take naps here and there. Listening again to my body so that it heals fast and safely. I am, so far, so pleased with recovery, and SO thankful for all the great care I received in the hospital and of course most thankful for my amazing surgeon!

YAY for you! I go in tomorrow! Can't wait!
