Are You Happy That You Had The Sleeve Procedure?
ElginChris replied to love to be at goal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Joan, I am 5+ weeks out and would recommend this to anyone. I am about 90#s down since the middle if October and feel great. The two things I can say us follow your Dr.'s advice, their program will work!!! The second thing would be be prepared for the worst, and hope for the best. It is major surgery, there is a possibility of some issues!! But even a few minor things make this surgery worth it!!! -

Smooth Recovery? Anyone?
ElginChris replied to LynRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Lyn, Just about 3 weeks out here and nothing out of the ordinary!!! I think recovery is about attitude, not all of it but a good part of it is. This process isnt painless , it isnt easy but it is worth it!!! -

How Do You Explain Your Weight Loss?
ElginChris replied to ok2rebound's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have no problem talking about my surgery but understand why others do. I know people judge me by my weight, HW was almost 500, why do I care if they judge me about how I am trying to lose it? I dont... What I do care about is my health. If you are supportive of my decision, thanks!! If you have negative comments, oh well. -
Have the same pain as well, i just figured it was the biggest hole so it would hurt the most..

Day 3 post op . It does get easier as you go. Having a hard time drinking cold water. Gas pain is gone for the most part, but very sore. Taking a lot less pain medication. Glad to be home and clean!!! Walking a lot, trying to drink a lot and sipping, sipping, sipping. Having trouble figuring out being full but getting better at it. Overall it is a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. -

Ladyscorpio, Tignet and I are close.. We both gave Dr. Rantis... Sounds like you have a doc in his practice...
