So I was sleeved Oct 8 and everything's been good didn't need a drain seriously no pain what so ever my Tylenol is still full all three bottles day of surgery I was 297 before when I first began I was 315 now I'm 277.8. So happy that I've made this choice for myself. And I no longer depend on my cane to walk short distances only have issues walking far distances.

@@LMolina1987 I was just thinking today about how happy I am that I had the surgery. It wasn't nearly as painful as I expected and recovery has been better than expected as well. I am 5 weeks post op and so happy with my weight loss so far.

I didn't tell hardly anyone because I didn't want the naysayers voices in my head before, during and after surgery because it was my choice and I had done the research and asked the questions to lead me to this place in my life with decision to have WLS so their uninformed feedback was not desirable for me.

Great job! It must feel so liberating not relying on your cane for short distance walking. Imagine what it'll be like when you don't need it at all??

I also have multiple sclerosis, I'm in a wheelchair starting my weight loss journey this month. Hope to have surgery by Summer's end.

      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.
