Recovery is temporary. Do everything they tell you to. Good luck!

I'm down 91 since November 2 preop.

6 years. Good. I'm hoping mine lasts.

Don't worry. Most of us have this issue with soft foods. When you get to real food you'll feel the restriction.

New here, and been wanting to sleeve for several years. Had some BMI issues with UHC several years ago and gave up. Had lost weight and couldn't meet their 5 year BMI requirement. Anyway, I'm with BCBS of Illinois now and am waiting for insurance verification so I can meet with a surgeon. Its been almost four weeks. Does anybody have experience with this insurance? Any advice on roadblocks or bumps i may encounter? Any chance I get this done this year? Thanks, Joe

Awesome!!!!!

I had a similar experience 8 or 9 days out. Very painful. I hope that the worst is over for you.

Let's just say, no more turtle. And that's all I have to say about that. Lol

All kidding aside, it's quite horrible, what fat can do down there. Terrible feeling.

I'm becoming more and more comfortable in my skin I can bend over and tie my shoes. My reflection in a mirror isn't shocking in a bad way anymore. Clothes are fitting better and better. Pecker is back. I'm lifting weights again I fit my motorcycle better. I feel pretty damn good.

Occasional hiccups.

I needed a month. I have a physical job though.

I was scared of having a heart attack while playing with my grandchildren. Surgery is a breeze, and recovery is temporary. You got this.

I was tested.

It's tough. Almost 4 months out, and I had one too many bites tonight. I measured out 4oz of rotisserie chicken, and put some salsa on it withsome meted cheddar on it. It was great, but I couldn't finish it. I was a bite away from the foamies.

I actually switched surgeons because of that exact situation. They wanted me to go 10 weeks before an appointment with him. Id met with the shrink,and nutritionist twice, and still no surgeon. Wasn't going to work for me. Had an appointment with another surgeon in a few days, and 10 weeks later, I had surgery.

Tim. I had the same issue after surgery. Took over a week to get back to normal. I did not like it at all.

Life is too short not to drink good bourbon my friend. I'm ok with giving up beer for a while, but not whiskey.

Worst two weeks for me were post op liquid. I didn't cheat, but I wanted to. Hang in there. The coming months will be great.

Keep walking. It helps the healing process and with gas. Sounds like you're doing well.

I had a 3 pm surgery. It was cruel and unusual. Lol. You got this.

I was joking. Stupid man joke. Sorry.

Great work. I'll bet you feel great.
