UtahChica 29 Posted June 21, 2016 So I've been MIA from BP, I wanted to know how everyone is doing especially cause we all are from UT. I had my surgery on March 2, 2016. Everything went perfectly, I was so pleased. I started my Pre-Pre-Op diet on Jan 15,2016. I'm down 82 lbs since then. I'm loving life and excited for all the new things I'm doing. I workout 5-6 times a week.. Please let me know how you all are doing.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DebbieRN 13 Posted June 23, 2016 @@UtahChica glad you are doing great! I had my surgery April 8th with Dr Zavalza. I am down 40 pounds and feel great. This surgery was not anywhere as difficult as I thought it would be. I had almost zero pain and recovery was a cinch. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

UtahChica 29 Posted June 29, 2016 @@kyleegirl01, thank you for letting me know on your doctor you are very kind. I'd love to meet up with other sleevers in our area if you are interested. I had another friend who also had the surgery a week or so ago and her experience wasn't the best. I'm trying to be there for moral support. I also have a IG account if you are interested, I'm kind of weird and haven't shared it publicly with a lot of people. Just very close friends and some family.

kyleegirl01 33 Posted June 29, 2016 I have yet to publicly share the info as well. I'm not opposed at all to getting together. Maybe we could all go geocaching? Get us outdoors and moving. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
