Excited to lose!

I had surgery last August 24th and my BMI was 33 and I was discouraged from having the surgery by family and friends who said "you don't need it". By January 6th I had lost 60 lbs and now I have lost 69 and my BMI is 22 and I couldn't be happier. Some of my family and friends now tell my "you're too thin" but mostly people tell me I look great. It is the best decision I've made and I'm off my diabetes medicine and most everything else I was taking before I had the surgery. I too was self pay and it was a lot of money to spend, but I would do it again in a heartbeat! Good luck with your decision and I hope you do what YOU feel is best.

Has anyone else been released from the hospital the next day after sleeve surgery without having a leak check?

I'm scheduled for surgery on August 24th and I've been taking diuretics for years. I know they don't like for you to take them after surgery but I'm afraid I'll gain weight, especially in the first couple weeks without them. Has anyone else had any experience with this? Did you continue taking them but just cut down after surgery?
