71/2 Months Out From Gastric Sleeve Surgery

[Denise's New Life 43]

well hello all,

I have posted on this site once in awhile but read daily. July 2010, I went to my surgeons office to start my gastric bi pass process. well they talked me into a DS instead. So I went throught the long process of what we all need to do. when I woke up from surgery I found out I got sleeved instead and that I can come back in a year to get my plumbing rerouted(LOL). My sleeve was done on April 7, 2011. They did the sleeve due to gall stones stuck to the lining of my adominal wall. I had my gaul bladder removed 4 years ago and there was still gaul stones left in me. I was so upset, but then I joined this site when I came home from the hospital and saw how much people can really loose with the sleeve. I became more positive. Well as of today I am down 147 pds since my april surgery and 197 pds all together. I did this to add years to my life and never realized how my present life would change. I feel wonderful and love my sleeve. Guess what I am 83 pounds from goal and won't be having my plumbing rerouted.

WOW!! That is fantastic! The weight is flying off of you! I think your surgeons decision was the best thing that could have happened to you. That was your lucky day! The DS has so many problems attached to it... Good luck to you getting the rest off without it! Cheers and welcome.
