Waw thats great!! what was your weight on surgery day if you dont mind me asking?

Im 27 6'1" was sleeved on 9/10/12 Weight was 396. Today weight is 350..feel great. Back at work 2 weeks already..doing good getting all my vitamins in except my protein..i hate the thickness of the shakes. And im just being a baby and refuse to drink it lol. But water i get get down easily now..

My wife has fibromyalgia. And has had knee surgery on both knees from a fall she had which caused her to gain allot of weight..and allot of pain from the fibro and knees...she had the gastric bypass done..and she feels great..i hardley ever hear about pain she has. Her knees feel fine and she is on zero meds after surgery. She was diabetic. And on meds for pain from the fibromyalgia..she had the surgery over a year ago and i think she has only had 1 or 2 flares from the fibro but nothing bad at all..and im actually typing this on my phone. While i wait for her at zumba!!

I would say a few months mabe more. Depending on how long it takes you to eat enough to get the protein in yourself with food.

I was at 419 at my heaviest..day of surgery i was at 393. My surgery was on 9/10/12 and today 9/29/12 im at 356! Feel great but like you i dont think i look different mabe my face. But i do notice shirts fit me better so that helps knowing it is happening!.

After options i got a call about 3 weeks later and got refered to west la. Met my dr wasn't comfortable with him so i wanted a seccond opinion. Asked for ,gary belzberg, in south bay because i heard great things about him has over 40 years experience with these surgerys. Got sleeved 3 weeks ago was sent home the next day zero complications. And feel great 33 pounds down so far..

my surgery was on 9-10-12 and had them taken out today! 9-22-12 so 12 days my dr used glue and staples.

I have kaiser. And during the options class they want you to lose 20% of your weight when you start the class..you are put on the scale before every class.

first of all hello to everyone. my name is eric and this is my first post here thought i would post my experience. it was nothing out of the ordinary i really didnt have any complications. except my surgery was about 3 hours because i also had an imbelical hernia fixed and the hernia was bigger than the dr expected. didn't really have any pain stomach wise in recovery. just my back realy hurt and i wanted to sit up but they wouldnt let me. so for me i didnt have any actuall pain more of a sore feeling . felt like i was hit in the stomach with a baseball bat! i even asked the dr if a baseball bat was one of his tools and he said no a 2x4 O_o . i was walking to the bathroom 3 hours after surgery and walking outside my room 5 hours after. and was sent home around 3pm the next day. as of today. 8 days post op and i feel im about 90 percent back to normal! when i first started my options class i was 419 day of surgery i was 393 and as of today i am 366!!!

Thanks everybody! As for my diet my first two days home was broth, Jello, pudding, and popsickles. After i added creame Soups for about three days. Then felt great and almost normal even tried scrambled egg with no problem so got brave and tried wendys chilli =-O i had no problem with it. And asked my dr if that was ok and if i can move to soft foods and he said no!! So now im trying home made chicken noodle and i put it in a blender... Im taking a month of work and feel like i can return next week!! But still taking a month because of the herniA want to be carefull with that. Yes i have kaiser. Had options at the west covina kaiser senter..and my surgery was at harber city kaiser . With dr gary belzberg. Heard great things about him. And even changed my original dr from west la kaiser to be with him.
