Highest weight 299 lbs. Day of surgery 278 lb on 8/21/13. Current weight 263.5 lb on 9/21/13. Have had a stall for 2 weeks but I can see changes in pictures. No complications other than having a low blood pressure now. My normal was 120/90's hr 100's.....now im 90/50's hr 70's. I passed out from it a week ago. The doctors office said it was just my body adjusting. I can definitely tell when it gets really low so I am learning to deal with it. Exercising consists of walking 2-3 miles on the treadmill at least 4x a week and then doing some light weights and just random dancing lol. It's really hard getting Protein in but im trying my best. Drinking plenty of Water and tea w/ splenda. I just have to keep telling myself this is a slow process and a lifestyle change and I can't expect all the weight to fall off overnight. One step at a time!

i just had my surgery 9-18-13 how long did it take you to heal' date=' im sore and have nausea[/quote']

I didn't have to take any pain or nausea medicine after a week but everybody is different. I still get a little bit sore if I do much with my belly like crunches or working out hard. Just take it easy....the first two weeks are "hell week" and I thought I would never make it through but I did somehow. Just hang in there :-)

I took my pain meds and nausea meds for 2 to 3 days after being home and relied on my heating pad daily for about 1 and 1/2 weeks. Granted I still get a little tired at 5 weeks out but that's probably from lack of rest and over working. I'm so glad I had my revision. I get better every day. I feel lighter and my knees are no longer hurting! Good luck! Keep us posted!
