I've been low carb for quite a while. For me no aches or pains.

@@shaza1963 Fantastic~!!!! Can't wait to be overweight

@@Kmil2009 I'm 3 months out from surgery. My big fear is gaining weight back. Glad to hear that you are maintaining well.

Welcome to the site. How are things with maintenance 1 year out?

Current weight - 182 Goal on October 31st - 167

3 months out and NSV I had a follow up appointment with my Diabetes Dr. The staff had not seen me since before my surgery. The staff did not recognize me. To top off the day my labs were great. my A1C is a 5.9 Diabetes well controlled.

Sounds like you have already answered your question. You have found one that is covered by insurance...Hopefully they will approve the 2nd hour. It's a process..I understand the frustration:)

Every surgery come with pain. Broken legs mend, Pain from child birth and right now some one in the world is struggling through pain from cancer. I could go on and on..... The pain from surgery is temporary. Life gets back to a new normal. I would go though temporary pain again and again to have this life changing experience.

@@asolma I'm 3 months out. My sleeve surgery was a life saver for me. I was to a point I had given up on myself. Now I look forward to so many things. My self confidence is back. My attitude is positive. The weight loss is a perk (ok its also fantastic too). I just can't believe how good I feel. Enjoy researching weight loss surgery. So much information out there. Here is one of my favorite motivating videos. This woman is 18 months out. She has a video blog of her journey. Let me know what you think.

I'm so happy for you. Thank you for sharing your story. You have inspired me to keep plugging away. You look amazing. Cant wait to see you at 12 months out.

@@Amanda-Lee To do it now or later..... Nothing stopped me from having my sleeve ASAP. I was ready right after I received my insurance approval and surgery date. I don't believe weight has anything to do with the healing process. We all are different. So each persons healing will vary. I was lucky. I bounced back quickly. Your Dr. will let you know what your limitations are after surgery. The day I was released from the hospital I used a pillow on my tummy to stop the pressure and rubbing from the seat belt. Took me a few days before I could drive. My question is.............What are you waiting for?

Congrats! Keep it up your healing well. Yes this sounds normal to me. Great benefit to your weight loss wearing shoes that fit:)

Had date night with my husband The night was incredible. Late summer dinner on a restaurant patio with Water falls. The live entertainment was wonderfully unexpected. My husband took a photo of me and said...Amazing then he smiled at me. He placed the photo on the front page of his phone. I realized that night that i am present and a active participant in my life...I live in the moment. I'm so happy and thankful

It will be here before you know it. Congrats! and keep us updated.

@@dabberdoo So wonderful that you found a Dr. that is supportive. I'm Stage 2 diabetic liver disease. Hope all is well for you. Welcome to BariatricPal

(1) My positive out look on life is the best change for me (2) My health has improved by far..Never felt this good in my life. (3) My relationships... with my husband..(we are so in love) with my kids I'm more involved.

Fantastic! You earned the right to gloat. You have already passed your goal weight..Go you!

Oh yes, I'm in the gym working on my areas that have been slower to loose. It is interesting to see where the weight comes off first. I'm trying to build muscle in the areas that are in need to loose inches. Hope I'm on the right track...

when you and your husband chase each other around like teenagers again

My attitude and confidence have changed with weight loss. People respond to my changes in mostly positive ways. I'm not comfortable with people talking about my weight loss. I feel the need to justify it somehow. You are far more than numbers on a scale. With the other changes in your life people are responding to you differently. Celebrate these moments!

I love this. Please count me in as well.

Not complaining.. I'm happy that I'm loosing weight. I'm waist and top heavy My top is a 16/18 Hips and butt are a size 8. I do a lot of walking for cardio. I lift weights...What am I missing?

mine is 3 months post op

My Bariatric Surgeon retired after my surgery. I was referred to a new Dr. by his office. I meet with my new bariatic Dr. on August 28 for my 3 month check up.
