    Engagement is over

    Some said they increase there food intake & kept exercising & it broke the stall. Good Luck & hang in there. Believe it our not it's common for some people not to be able to handle the weight loss of there mate. I don't understand it myself.
  2. Good advice here. Your parents do not understand WLS or know diets do not work ( 97% failure rate). No one does. If they ever heard anything it was bad. They are scared as everyone has said. Just have your WLS & they will come around when they see you are ok & are losing weight fast.
  3. Wow great update thanks!

    My story and new journay

    Congrats on your new life. You will go through a lot of adjustments in your head & body. But it's all for the good. This is the best thing you have done for yourself. Keep us posted.
  9. You are right everyone is different. I was released after I had my leak test & took a pee. I do not have any other health issues but was fat. So I was lucky. Dr Clark says he doesn't like to keep people in the hospital because you recover better at home & are less likely to get a infection.

    Did your VSG make you "EMOTIONAL"?

    You went back to work 4 days post op...I'd be crying too! Yep I was emotional before & after. I broke down in the doctors office while talking about getting the sleeve & how it saved my life. Also talking to people about it I get choked up because it is such a life changing event. I think this is normal. No one knows what this means to us unless you have been there. But I do know 3 people have had the sleeve done because of me. I'm glad about that.

    A new man...

    That's GREAT! The Sleeve ROCKS!
  12. If you follow your doctors instruction you will not have a leak. It is lasered & stapled.
  13. Nice story. Good details, but every one is different. My Doctor does the Gastric Sleeve as a out patient. I went in at 7AM & home buy 3:30PM. Was off pain medichine next day, 3rd day I was out side walking & 4th day back to normal & walking my 2.5 miles. Only problem was learning to drink. As for walking into a operating room is a new one. I fell asleep as they pushed my bed towards the operation room. Matter of fact I thought they forgot to operated on me when I first woke up. Glad you are doing ok. The sleeve is a wonderful tool!

    About TASTE

    I saw on Dr OZ talk about taste. Say's bad fat will affect our taste buds & make them work less. By getting off of the bad fats our taste buds come back. I think this is what happened to us who have a greater taste since the surgery. We are eatting right & WOW! The taste on everything is strong. What do you think?
  17. Thanks for sharing! That is great story & information.

    As of this morning... I am normal

    That's great you are normal! Now if the you can get the voices in your head to agree life would be....Shut up I'm typing!...Gotta go argue with the voices in my head..bye!
  19. The surgery went so well they do not need the forum. Getting your life back together keeps you busy. Take your pick.
