My friend and i both gained around 25 lbs back by just eating little but slmetimes bad choices like a junior burger or ice cream here and there The gaining is slow but its scary Im now back on diet and trying to lose again

Im a man had my surgery dec 2009. I started with 356 lbs and after ine year i reached 235 lbs in dec 2010. Now im 262 lbs so i gained quiet a but in the last 6 months. Its easy to gain back the weight if u dont go on diet so this surgery is not magic but its a tool to help u with ur diet

as I mentioned b4 I had my gallbladder removed like two years b4 the sleeve , my dr said that he needed to make an extra incision because I had a scar tissue from the gallbladder surgery. recovery wise, i dont think it made any difference

hello About two years ago , I did Bernstein' diet for three month and I lost around 100 lbs and I felt great, but when I started to introduce the food again to my diet ,I had the worst pain ever, had to call 911 and I thought it was a heart attack as it causes chest pain. Anyway , my dr told me that it's very common to have gallstones after losing lots of weight fast. I had the surgery which was soooo easy , laproscopic , very tiny incisions . I remember that I went for an intreview the net day of the surgey. some diareah after the surgery but it went away , the only problem is when I have fast food or anything with fat, I have to know my way tot the washroom before I eat, because it's so embarassing. 5 minutes after the meal and u HAVE TO GO TO THE WASHROOM. no pain or anything . my surgeon who did my sleeve surgery asked me if I have a gallbladder and when I asked him why? he said that if it's still there, he will remove it as well even without the gallstones. but i had it removed earlier so It wasnt a problem let me know if u need more info

52 days here post surgey and lost 58.1 lbs i walk for one 1 hour a day

Hello, I had the surgery in Dec 5th ,2009. When I woke up after the surgery , they only thing I was saying " I wish I didnt have it " I hate hospitals .....anyway on the third day I was walking but sitting and getting up were uncomfortable for a week. I started my journey with 356 lbs and now I am 299.2 and my energy is great. I am the cook in the house and I taste all the food I cook , one bite and its going ok. u will know ur limit and how much to eat by urself as U will throw up whenu overeat. cottage cheese was and still my favorite food that gives me protien ,satisfation. good luck

hello , I did a diet b4 called Dr, Bernstein diet and I lost all the weight I needed to lose in 3 months(around 100 lbs) , I was so happy , and after three months, I tried to reward my self with a bit of chocolate and BOOM, horrible pain , around my stomach and chest , i had to call 911. and was rushed to the hospital , they thought it was bad acid reflux after they checked my heart and it was good. after all I had those attacks few times b4 they discovered that It was my goal bladder. My dr told me that it is very common when u lose weight fast. i removed my gall bladder and the painwas gone, but I went back to my eating habbits and gained all the weight back. I suggest u check ur gallbladder for gall stones, My dr who did the surgery for me (sleeve one) asked me if I have a gall bladder , I told him that I have removed it and he said, good as I was about to suggest I remove it while doing the sleeve as the probability of gallstones is sooo high good luck dear

hello, I am still on liquids with about three weeks post surgery, I have from time to time " cream of mushroom, cream of broccli" which is a bit thicker than clear liquids. Even when I have clear liquids I hear or feel weird sounds in my stomach. I dont know the exact word to describe it but it's a sound of the stomach working and I can clearly hear it if I close my ears. Is this normal?

hello , I was sleeved on Dec 5th ,2009 in Syria. 4 days post surgery I took a taxi to Lebanon which is 3 hours drive . 10 days post surgery I tooka flight to Vancouver BC. which is about 16 hours flight and around 24 hours in total with airport waiting time. It was a tough flight to be honest with u , I had apple juice and orange juice on the plane as I was still on clear liquids. I think it will be easier for u as u will be able to eat regular food in small portions. reduce the weight of ur handbags as much as u could and good luck.

I did a lot of research and I finally decided to go to syria to have the surgery there. I took that decision because of many reasons: 1 : a friend of mine had been sleeved there and she recommended the dr. 2: I am originally from Lebanon so a family member can accompany me as lebanon is few hours drive away. 3: I speak the language "arabic" 4: 4000$ is the price, including a private room with two beds ,tv fridge......excluding ticket which costed me 1200 $ cad from vancouver canada. anyway , I was sleeved on Dec 5th,2009 ,I weighed then 355lbs today is Dec 22nd,2009 and I was 223lbs which means 32 lbs lost in approx 2 weeks and few days. not bad eh. I threw up once when I decided to add cheese to my soup , what Was I thinking lol I am having delicious soups(mashroum,chicken broth,asparagus, cream of broccli), yougart, protein shakes and juices and taking vitamin pills (centrum) and still taking some pills the dr prescriped. I am so glad I did it and would like to thank many members here who helped me with information to make my decision and get the courage to do it. good luck all :thumbup:

hmmm, when I was out of the OR at the hospital and espacially after I woke up , the only words I was saying were" I wish I didnt do it!" because I felt like crap. It's not an easy surgery and the feeling of throwing up and not being able to ven drink water wasnt fun. but starting from the forth day , everything became different and I am now happy that I did it. yes, I regret it when I smell my favorite food but I come back and feel awesome that I didnt eat from it. I am losing like 1 lb a day since the surgery 5th of dec 2009 and I am loving it day after day. it's going to be hard if u use food for comfort but it's doable and worth it. all in all , I am happy I did it and cant wait to be fit soon. good luck :thumbup:

I was sleeved Dec 5th, had no problem with , broth with few noodles, tea, yougart mixed with Water and salt, and Centrum as a Multivitamin, fresh juices like apple , carrot and last night orange juice. yes I have some pain sometimes on my upper right side I am not hungry all the time but when I smeel food I feel so bad, espacially stuff that I love like sushi ofcourse, u will feel better when u start eating normal food , like rice and meat, but now ur stomach is always empty asking u to eat all the time, it's a phase that will pass " my dr said that"
