I had surgery last Wednesday and am doing pretty good I suppose for an old gal.

I have done a lot of reading in the forums and there is so much information out there. I really like this site.

Congrats!! I am so excited for you. I have not got my surgery date yet. I am hoping for end of Nov or beginning of Dec. Did your nutrition or surgeon tell you for your age that 145 would not look right? My nutritionist did. I weight 216 and after surgery my goal is between 140 and 145. She told me to be realist because I am not in my 20's and if I get sick it would take longer for me to recovery. The thing is I have not always been overweight. I started gaining weight in the last 15 years. Beginning of Sept, I weighted 226 and got down to 216 in 6 wks. Their goal for me is 160. I am just going to take one day at a time. Back in the day, I weighted 118 to 130. I know how I will look and feel lol!!!

Hello all my 40's peeps. I was sleeved on 12/14/12 and am having a tough time recovering, however it seems to be getting better. I have good days and bad days. I go back to work next Monday, not looking forward to it.

Does anyone have any pointers for a speedy recovery. My specific issue is pain in my right side under my ribs. It is a sharp stabbing pain and only occurs when I turn or bend.

On a brighter side I have lost 20lbs and my I am able to eat small amounts of food throughout the day. 2013 will definitely be a better year for me.

Thanks for all your support Lee
