10 pounds in 3 weeks is good. You're probably going to hit a stall in Week 4. Most people do. It's normal. Don't worry about it. Just keep doing the right things.

Mine came the day after surgery, a week early. I was less than thrilled.

I had my surgery on April 22, 2019

Yes I have always had problems with acid reflux, but I was on 20 mg twice a day. I never had it coming up on me in the middle of the night until I had the sleeve. They are going to fix my hernia at the same time they do the bypass. I'll have all my prerequisites done by July. I'll keep you posted if you want.

It's better once you get to soft foods, then solid foods. Your stomach knows when to quit eating and you don't get real hunger anymore.

Be able to fit on most rides at theme parks. be able to shop in regular clothes stores. be able to bend over for more than a minute without cramping up. to Have room in my seat when I drive. Be able to fit in an airplane seat. those are just a few

Being able to buy clothes from a decent store good brands not just big and tall.. Being able to walk around for hours to keep up with my family. Being able to fit on rides better. Not dealing with sweat between rolls (tmi) Not being looked at everytime I go out to eat. Being able to run for more than 30 seconds. Well be nice to have some female attention for once! Fit people get treated better in every aspect of life especially when shopping! Being able to fit into my sports car better Being able to go hiking it's been about 6 years.. Being able to save money on food and being a cheap drunk if I ever do drink. My biggest one is hopefully not to be hungry constantly every day, eating to live not living just to eat!

Sitting in an airplane seat and not having my hips lift up the arm rest and touch the other person!

Your ability to drink water will get much better as time goes on. However, in the beginning, yes, you will need to sip constantly - it will HURT if you drink too much too fast! By 6 weeks post op you will be able to drink MUCH easier, and even gulp a bit if you're like me.

Most Urgent Care centers do H & Ps. If one is near you that might be an option until you find a new PCP.
