June 21st.....20lb total weight loss from pre-op diet; 11 more since surgery 13 days ago. Only 110 lbs to go!
I never experienced ANY pain after the surgery!
I guess I was really lucky! Doctor had me up and walking "laps" just a few hours after surgery.
Looking forward to the changes in lifestyle AND myself.....62 y.o. It's not too late. Yay

Ive had alot of complications but everyone here and my local support group say to hang in there it will be worth it in the end. I do beleive that. As with anything there is a risk and with anything we will get through it. It depends on how bad you want the prize. Knowledge is everything. You need to know the good and the bad in order to deal with it no matter the outcome. That way no matter what - you win.

I will be two weeks out on Tuesday. It is a major adjustment in the beginning, but I don't have any regrets. I just know, based on what I have read on this forum & others, that things will get better...good luck!

Yep. I'm gonna do it! I'm overcoming one of my biggest insecurities. Going to the beach/public pool! I went to the pool with my husband and daughter today. I sat in the shade while they had fun in the pool. I looked around at the people there (specifically the women ) and low and behold most looked just like me! They weren't ashamed. I got home and went out and got me a really pretty bathing suit with an attached skirt to hide the big ole butt. So tomorrow I promised my lil girl that MOMMY not daddy, will take her to the pool and I will go in with her!!! She was super thrilled. I'm finally starting to enjoy things and not sitting on the sidelines. Well... Tomorrow I'll start. Lol.
Love this freakin sleeve.

Thank you for the warm welcome littlebits!!! Finding VST has really changed how I am feeling/thinking about my sleeve!!! I was so focused on getting to the surgery date that I did not anticipate what would happen in the recovery process!
