Hi folks out there. Had the surgery 3/21 and am beginning to regain lost energy. Still feel tired, but better. Have been struggling with slow weight loss. 18 pounds down since surgery, at least another 70 to go. I pray every day for patience. Have to admit I am envious of big loosers. Remind myself that it will come off. Can not walk as much as I would like becuse of herniated disk days before surgery. But did loose 26 on my own preop, and now another 20 postop. Was very nervous before surgery, but am glad I did it. To new to be able to offer any advise. Just happy for this forum.

@Queen of Crop... Comforting, reading your blog...can't wait to experience some of the things you talk about... I am just so glad i got approved for the sleeve because i really did NOT want the by-pass... Not even thought about turning 60.. been putting all my energy into the surgery... Life is good and it is going to get so much better...
