Hello, I had the sleeve done on Dec 18th and I feel great. I started my journey at 373 over a year and a half ago and just couldn't seem to lose the weight. I got down to 339 and then moved. I started therapy and she suggested looking into weight loss surgery. That was in October 2013. I decided to do it. I quit smoking and saw the Dr. At ky 2 week pre-op on Dec 5 I weighed in at 356. I lost 23lbs pre-op and as of today I weighed in at 309. I did almost nothing the first 2 wks but walk about 20 min a day. At my 3 week check up I was cleared to start doing exercises just not any abdominal yet. I have been in the gym 5-6 days a week. I did my new personal best on the treadmill for the mile yesterday of 19:10. Before sirgery it would take me nearly 30 min and I would have to take breaks. I feel fantastic. I also do about 3 miles on the incumbant bike and do weight training as well. I am so excoted to be startong ky new life. I am 44 and wish I had done this years ago. I did not grow up overweight but have been carrying this weight for over 20 years since having 4 children and a horrible accident after my first 2 were born. I have major issues with my leg from the accident so losing this weigjt is a god send for me. I have had no issues this far with neausia or vomiting. I can swallow my vitamins with no issues and i shoot for 80-100 grams of protein and get all my water intake in. I wish all of you out there doing this a safe, happy and life changing journey.
