I have also lost 50lb my surgery was 3mos ago today. I am very happy with it so far. Still have a protein drink every am, yogurt, almonds, meat and veggies. I have had some bread and very small amt carbs, too scared of dumping.

Abnormal ekg is not always a showstopper. They may want you to get clearance from a cardiologist.

If it is a surgery center you have to have someone drive you. Don’t know about hospital. Your surgeons office should know the answer to that.

Flying today. No seat belt extender. 👍🏻

One more thing. I’m not the heaviest person in my family anymore!!

I am flying next week for the first time since my surgery! Hope I don’t have to ask for an extender. On a related note I really had been wanting a pair of red jeans and I found some. Bought the next size down without trying them on AND THEY FIT!

I have on a shirt today I’ve never been able to button.

I have a shirt on today that I have never been able to button before 👍🏻

I told my friends and my co workers. The only person who has been less than supportive surprisingly was a really close friend. Other than that everyone has been super supportive.

Don’t know if it is considered a true complication but my only real complaint is constipation. I think I finally have things moving again. Miralax is my new best friend.

The preop diet was not fun. Yogurt popsicles and soup were my friend. I don’t want to eat soup again for a really long time.

I had it done as an outpatient. Went back to dr the next am to have drain removed.

I’m down 40lbs 7 weeks out.

I can cross my legs to tie my shoes

I am 6 weeks out and anything with mayo (chicken salad, egg salad) completely grosses me out. I’m so sad! I love mayo!
