5 weeks post op and haven't lost any weight since my pre-op diet.. I guess the doc was serious when he said some people will lose and some people won't.. Damn I coulda had a v8 along with the $8000 it cost me...(not satisfied)

I was sleeved on march 27, 2012
My preop weight was 217, my weight on the day of surgery/ after preop diet was 204. After surgery I was back up to 211 (gas, fluids, bloating) as of tomorrow I'll be 3 weeks post op and my current weight is 199. Am I not losing or could it me that expectations are unrealistic. I'm starting to wonder if it was worth it after all.... Any one else not losing or with the same experience ????

I had a great surgical team, the experience was no where near what I expected.. My abdominal area was full of gas immediately after surgery but a few walks up and down the hall and it subsided.. They give you great meds to deal with everything else besides the drain you will feel almost normal the next day and better every day after.. It wasn't a bad experience .. Sip a lot so you stay hydrated and walk as much as you can

I was sleeved on march 27th and I feel wonderful with the exception of dumping syndrome but I think ive found the culprit and I'm feeling 100% better. I'm starting creamy Soups no chunks along with full liquids today as instructed by my nut.. Im not gonna have any food until day 22. I've heard of people going back for post op check up and having food in there staple line wich can cause a delay or difficulty in the healing process.. I'm not gonna take that chance.

I'm having surgery on Tuesday and I'm feeling nervous too.. Lol I guess being nervous is normal, I'm not thinking about what I won't be able to eat instead im thinking of how I will be able to control how much of what I eat. Good luck to you on Monday
