I was nervous too as was everyone. I had a great experience so that helped. I will give you one tip ask your surgeon if they plan on using a tap block and if not why not.. easier to look it up on internet if you are not sure what it is. On a pain scale I was expecting a 10/10 I think it was about a 3/10 and that's +2pts feeling guilty it did not hurt. No pain medication after day 2. You will be so happy when it's over..

Cool.
My wife is looking at getting sleeved in May and then mine in August.
I have always been a big guy, big frame and tall.
But I have really packed on the pounds since getting married.
I currently weigh about 420

Awesome.....you look amazing....
I am just 3 months out, lost 50 pounds so far. I hope I lose as much as you... did it all come off quickly? Any loose skin? I sometimes feel like I am moving slow.

I felt like I was losing slow as well but it just kept coming off. You will stall every so often as your body adjusts. I thought I would have a ton of loose skin and I do not. I have a little but I am thrilled with the result. I felt like the slower it came off the more my body had time to snap back. Who knows if that is how it works but it will keep coming off. Good luck with the rest of the way. Stay healthy..

Wow !! You did awesome !! I was wondering if you could help me ? I started at a similar weight. My high weight was 315, my surgery weight was 299 and now 6 weeks after Sleeve surgery I'm at 260, I don't want lose skin ! I have been walking but I want to go to the gym and do more rigorous exercise, when did you start exercising ? What type of exercise did you do ?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
