5 weeks out today and loving my sleeve!

[PamelaAM 16]

Just wanted to give an update since many of you know how badly I suffered the first couple of weeks. Today is my 5 week sleevaversary and I couldn't be happier. This weekend I was actually out for the whole weekend at an amazing weeking of hope for the pancreatic cancer community including board meetings, scientific sessions and finally on Saturday evening our gala that honored my good friend Cindy Landon (Michael died of pancreatic cancer) and Lisa Niemi Swayze (Patrick died of pancreatic cancer). It was such a powerful and amazing weekend and I did fine from early early morning each day to late into the night. We raised over $800,000 for the fight against pancreatic cancer and the thing that I was most excited about was that I had the energy to do the entire weekend!

Today I make the drive to the office for the first time (been working from home) and am really excited to get there! This weekend I'll be in Philadelphia for one of our big PurpleStride walks and then the next weekend in Dallas for their walk.

So glad to be sleeved, be back, and be SO happy!

Your post is so encouraging to me! Thank you so much. I had a very difficult first week out of surgery and wondering if I had done the right thing. But now I know I did! I am feeling wonderful and losing weight. I love my sleeve!

Thank you for posting!
