I'm only POD #5 and I'm feeling great. Walking, starting to get my liquids in easier, much less pain. When I stepped on the scale this morning it was all affirmed that I did the right thing by having the sleeve. I started crying happy tears because maybe I'll finally be able to live the life I want!! So thankful!

I had my sleeve done June19th. It has been an experience.the first few days were rough after surgery and I'm still adjusting but I am very happy with it. I had lost 15 lbs prior to surgery and have now lost another 20! A total of 35.....well worth it

So if I can ask what was your heaviest weight and starting weight? My heaviest was 317, on the day of surgery I was 305 and today I'm 297 :) I wanna get to 160 I think

I had my lap band removed and converted to gastric sleeve on July 3rd. I have done good on liquids and have not been hungry. I follow up with doctor tomorrow. I have never been one to drink a lot of Fluid in a day so that's my biggest adjustment and I still have not found a Protein Shake that like. Good luck to you and I look forward to stepping on a scale now. Best decision I have ever made

You don't like the Premier Protein? I get them at costco and I think the chocolate one just tastes like chocolate milk basically. Good luck to you too!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
