  1. I have been with my husband for 23 years , I was just sleeved on 9/17 , however he was there when I was 120 and was there when I was 230 ... and throught it all he has never changed or made me feel any less , If anything my argument is that he made me feel way too comfortable in my skin that I did not realize the heavier I was getting , Now that I have lost 20 pounds so far ( since my last weigh in ) he is just as supportive , calling me slim ( lol ) sooo I think it depends on how strong are you going in ... Just my opinion
  2. I had surgery on 9/17 ( monday ) and went back to work 9/24 ( monday )....
  3. I had gallstones a couple of years ago and after I had 5 gallstones attacks in 2 months did I decide to see a surgeon , had an ultrasound on monday to confirm , results on thursday and surgery the day after , they were that bad , my advise is don't wait they only get worse ..... and the worst is getting gallstone attacks while being pregnant .... so take care of it now

  7. I was also sleeved 9/17 , however I did/do not have post op appointments scheduled , When I was released the DR gave me instructions to call the office and make an appointment for Thursday ( 10 days post op ) for check up and I guess we will go from there .... However as everyone else stated , call to verify
