I living in Willoughby, Ohio its 30 miles east of Cleveland. I had my surgery at University Hospital in Cleveland by Doctor Alan Saber. I took off work 4 weeks but was back to work in 3 weeks. While in the hospital make sure you walk as much as you can. It will help on the recovery end. The first week is going to be rough, I'm not going to sugar coat it. Your on a liquid diet. your energy will feel low at this point. But once this week is up you'll feel alot better. I take B-12 500mg once a day, chewable multi Vitamins 2 times a day, chewable caluim 3 times a day... a lot of Water, 8 cups of 8 oz. The protien shakes got very old for me. and made me sick. Now I can eat chicken and fish. still no red meats makes my stomache hurt. Your not going to be able to eat and drink at the same time. you can drink 15 minutes before or 30 or more minutes after. If you try to rush it. It will give bad pains... I am now 53 days Post surgery and have lost 65 lbs...I work out 4-5 days a week. I have alot more energy. sleep better,sleep apnea is gone, Blood pressure is normal, asthma is gone. Hope to hear from you soon, Dominic -

So they took out the drain tube a day early because they found an infection behind it. they put me on meds. and it still hurts to get out of bed. I hope this pain goes away soon..

Okay people, Here is whats going on with me one week after my surgery. First off, pre-op I was weighing 350 lbs. I put on alot of weight after I got home from Kuwait in Feb 09. ( When I joined the Army in Sept 96' I was weighing 220 lbs, after Basic Training 185lbs, When I got out of active duty in Sept 2000, I was at 215 lbs. Three months after that I weighed in at 230lbs and joined the Army National Guard, When I was deployed in 2003-2005, before the deployment I was 285lbs, after the Deployment I was 235lbs. We came home and the weight found me again and I went up to 250 lbs by the time I got a new job in law enforcement. We work swing/rotating shifts so the weight just kept find me and before long I was over the 300 lbs mark. In 2008 I was deployed a second time to Kuwait. Half way through my deployment I messed up my back really bad. But I was working out 6 days a week for 2 hours a day. Was down to 270 lbs. By the time the deployment ended I was back to 285lbs. When I returned home and back to work I went from that 285 lbs to 350lbs.) and as of today I'm 307.. I'm hoping to be right at or below 280 by the time I get back to 280 lbs. My goal wieght is 200-215 lbs. I'm hoping to hit that weight by the end of the year...cross your fingers.. More to come.. Dominic
