janeaddams 53 Posted August 13, 2015 I'm half way to my goal. Down 45 lbs. 45 to go. I broke my foot and was not allowed to put weight on it for 8 weeks, then within a week of the boot coming off, I developed a hairline fracture in the same foot. Again no weight on it. With limited mobility, I guess 45 lbs isn't so bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amchurch12000 44 Posted August 13, 2015 I had stones in my gull bladdar. I was having issues eating and therefore wouldn't eat until I was forced to. Doctor was doing testing and had actually gotten the results of the ultrasound and bloodwork back saying that it was bad. I ended up in the ER at 2am with really bad pain so instead of being scheduled I got fit into the next day. I was actually released same day (I had surgery at 4:00 pm and home by 10:00 pm.) The surgery was Tuesday, I was home today resting (I ran some errands but mom drove), tomorrow I plan on going into work. I don't have a ton of leave due to the fact that I missed 3 weeks due to my bariatric surgery. I am supposed to have family coming in 2 weeks and wanted to spend the week off with them.

Madmax68 227 Posted August 13, 2015 Since I started the pre-surgery diet I've lost 76 lbs and am now 98.6 pounds from my highest weight. I am so grateful for my sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riz2006 242 Posted August 13, 2015 I was getting stomach pains (a super uncomfy tightness) - dr said it was better to come out on our terms rather then waiting for an emergency (after u/s - it was confirmed I had gall stones). dr said 1 out of 5 will get it after WLS. I just happened to be the 1. Surgery and recovery went well. I was back to walking my 3+ miles after a believe 5 days. (Walked a lot at a local festival 2 days after surgery so it was an easy recovery). Since I started the pre-surgery diet I've lost 76 lbs and am now 98.6 pounds from my highest weight. I am so grateful for my sleeve. Great job! I am so thankful too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
