Hey there lessofmeismore! Yes I'm officially post op. Today is actually day 7 for me so I'm officially one week post op now. I feel so blessed to have this opportunity and I feel I have a great shot at accomplishing something I always wanted. Thank you for your encouraging words.....I'm doing pretty good so far and everyday gets better.

Awesome story Capt. Thanks for sharing that link.

I'm six day post op from Pacific Bariatric. Dr Zorn is PHENOMINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any other questions....let me know.

Congrats on your decision to get the sleeve!!!!!!!! Good luck on your surgery tomorrow. GO GET EM'

Thanks Butterthebean. I hope that's the case for me. I need the energy....LOL....

Wow..... Pipula... you've done an outstanding job. A huge difference. So we all know now that you look amazing... but how do you feel? Being only 6 days post op now... I don't have much energy, but I am sure that will change as i get adjusted and eventually be able to eat food. How has this changed your life? Do you have more energy, you more active, etc? I'm interested in hearing your perspective. Again... congrats on the weight loss thus far.

That is simply amazing! that is truly a great victory!

That is outstanding! Keep up the good work.

That's an amazing weight loss thus far keep up the outstanding job.

Thanks for being open sabbymomof3. You expressed how I was kinda feeling. I'm 5 days post op. Can wait for this initial stage to be over.

Amazing!!!! Great job

Good vibrations being sent your way. Go get em~

Deb... do not give up. It was nearly a two year ordeal with me have to go through insurance denial, getting different insurance, trying again... going to through weight loss classes, etc. I'm sure your doctors are trying to do whats best for you. Keep pushing.... don't let anything or anyone stop you. You can do it...we're all pushing for you!!! Go get em~

Hello Rainbow and welcome aboard. I think you will find VST extremely informative and the people here are very supportive. Congratulations to you in making a great decision!

Lol....you're too funny. It's kind of weird being in clothing stores all day every day and never looking clothes to buy...but that's soon to change. Lol..can't wait.

That is simply amazing!!! What a wondeful accomplishment! Keep up the great job.

This is awesome. Congrats!!!!

Very Nice...WINNIE THE POOOOHHHHH.... I love it..... I can't wait to experience those same things... I am a District Manager for a clothing retailer and it sucks seeing all the great deals yet not being able to buy anything from them because they don't carry my size. Can't wait to be done with that.

I bought my "Weight Watchers" brand digital scale from costco last year. It has a 400 lb weight capacity and works great. It only cost me like $20.00 as well. I love it because it give me the ounces as well. For example... 255.7 lbs. You can weigh yourself everyday and at least see if you lost some ounces. LOL!!! Hope this helps!

Pictures are worth a thousand words.... Congrats. You look great!

Well... I've been with my wife since I was 20 (13 years)... so uh... not much dating experience here but I will say just be yourself and discuss your general likes and dislikes. Find out about your dates likes and dislikes, and find out about his family history and friends. There's a lot of wierdo's out there.... LOL As far as your pics... I must say... you were very pretty before the surgery... and even now... I don't think dating is going to be problem at all for you. In fact... I think you're going to spend more time have to find out which of the guys are creeps and which ones are gentlemens because you're going to be getting hit on a lot. Good luck to you. You look great. You've done great thus far.

That's awesome!!! Congratulations. That morning commute/cage fight to work certainly is good excercise for you. Especially going up and down the stairs. Good for the circulation. Protein, protein, protein...lol

Not to sound redundant with what everyone else said... but walking certainly helped me. I was released yesterday, and I still have some slight gas pains. I try to move around as much as possible. It's certainly help. Good luck to you on your journey. Yay!!!!!!!!........... you get to go home!

Congrats gower05!!!!!!!!!!!!! Diabetes Meds Gone!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! September 27th sleever checkin here. I am doing well. I feel absolutely normal... which is a far cry on how I felt the day of surgery. I had terrible nausea for about 24 hours, but after that I was only dealing with gas pains. I feel great right now. I weighed myself this morning and I have already lost 5 lbs. Feeling like 2012-2013 is going to be our time to shine!!!!!!!!!!!!!! September 27th sleevers Stand UP!!!!!

Don't let anything stop you. You can do it. You've come too far. It's your time to shine.
