I had my 2 week follow up and I am down 29 1/2 lbs. From my first visit with the Dr until the day of my surgery was only 6 weeks. So the 29 1/2 lbs is a combo of Ketosis Diet, Pre-0p Diet and post surgery results...Couldnt be happier and now I am 90% pain free except for a little stretching feeling under my left rib.

my experience is sleeve much worse than my c-section,the JP drain was the absolute worst

Hi everyone I am new to this site and I am liking it very much so far. My name is Sherri and I had my surgery July 24, 2012. I went to the pre-op seminar June 6th, met the surgeon June 11, did labs same day, met the nutritionist on June 12th had endoscopy June 15 started the Ketosis diet June 17th had follow up appt June 22 and was down 9 lbs.I joined the gym June 30th and started my new way of living. Went back to eating regularly until my Pre-op appt with the nurse and the nutritionis on July 11, on July 12th I started my 14day pre-op diet and I had my psych evaluation. On July 13th had a follow up endoscopy due to ulcers being found on the first one, I successfully rid myself of them by following what the Dr had told me to do and taking meds he prescribed. July 19 my final pre-op visit with the nurse and was down 6 more lbs. The day of surgery went well and my only complaint is the JP Drain, had I known about it sooner I seriously might have considered the Band surgery instead. It was awful when they removed it. Well its 9 days post surgery and I am down 27 lbs total since start of my journey. But I AM HUNGRY and I have 6 more days of this liquid diet. Any comments or suggestions on how everyone else feels and if hungry what are you doing about it. I also have been going to the gym every other day.
