My journey

[Tex 1]

I have a thread in the tell your story area but since I'm post op I thought I would be presumptuous enough even this early to say so far it's been a success. I am post op 6 days and between my prep diet and since sleeved I am down 26 lbs from 258 to 232. My surgery was done more for risk factors than being really obese. Due to that this was a tough decision for me but boy I already feel so freaking good. Can't wait to feel what 190 feels like.

8 weeks post op and a 40lb loss as of today! I'm feeling better and my sugars are dropping. My primary goal in having this surgery was to help me with my diabetes. It's working and I am super excited. My birthday present to myself...a gym membership!

Update time. It's funny how just a short time ago I was the new guy looking for help and now here I am offering encouragement. Make no mistake. For most of you the surgery and right after it will be no cake walk but let me also tell you this. IT WORKS!!!!! my surgery was July 21 and I weighed aprox 250. Now I don't know what the norm is but here it is less than a month and I'm at 215. I'm still more than a week from being able to eat normal unblended food. Dr Kim is tougher than most. Yes I miss the food at times but pretty soon I will be able to eat again although much less of course. I'm glad I did this and I already feel better than I have in years. My doctor has already taken me off of my blood pressure and sugar meeds. Unreal isn't it? Less than a month folks. At this rate I may be 180 before October. Like I said....unreal. Be excited new people and do what your doc tells you to do.
