I am 4 months post op and I still burp all the time. Mostly after I eat or drink. I think I have gotten use to it because sometimes I forget im in public and just let it out. Lol. Oh well, better out than in.

89lbs in 4 months. Was sleeved March 29th.

Congrats! I will say a prayer for you.

My first two weeks were horrible. The pain wasnt too bad but emotionally I was a wreck. I was useless for the 1st two weeks and had to have help taking care of my children. Family was a huge help.

I will be 4 months out on July 29th. I am down 84lbs and still losing steady. My starting weight was 330 and Im at 246. I feel great! My life has improved so much! My confidence level has gone up and I have so much more energy. If anyone is considering having this surgery my opinion is "GO FOR IT". I have had no complications and I have not stalled. (yet, Im sure it's coming) I had a hard time in the beginning up until a month or so out because I missed my food, but that has all changed now. I am changing mentally as well as physically. Something that I have realized that is kinda sad is that people treat me differently. When I am out in public(shopping or whatever), people talk to me more and are just way nicer. I even have men flirting with me...(which hasnt happened in years). Although this makes me feel good, its kinda sad that I am treated better because of my weight. I guess that's just how our society is! I have gone from a size 26/28 to 16/18. The only problem I have is that I am growing out of all my clothes. Well, I just wanted to update everyone on my journey and encourage us all to just keep going! God bless you all and good luck!!

My dad was diabetic and was taking metfomine and glyburide. He had the sleeve 7 months ago and no longer takes the glyburide but does still take the other. His levels are under control mow tho. As far as the pain after surgery, its not too bad. I did throw up and gag alot in the hospital after surgery but it stopped after a couple of days. things are great now at 4 months out. Good luck

I am almost 4 months out and I stay away from bread. Its just not healthy at all. I was told that I could have it toasted once I was cleared for solids around 2 months out. Personally I would stay away from jelly also because of the sugar.

I also was allowed milk once on full liquids. I drank skim with no problems.

I quit 1 month before my surgery and that was 5 months ago. I smoked for 21 years. I had to just quit cold turkey. Im an addiction counselor so I used some helpful coping tools that really helped me. I did alot of praying as well. Bottom line is that you have to really want to stop and make a consious decision to stop. Good luck.

I went camping at 4 wks out. I got dehydrated and felt terrible. I went again at 6 wks out and did great. Good luck. Just remember to drink plenty of water.

I was given gas strips in the hospital the day after surgery. Im assuming it helped because I had no problems with gas while taking them.

My 10 year old was there. No problems. She would have worried too much while at school if I hadnt let her be there.

I went through these same feelings and I promise you that it does get better. Give it another week or so and you will see. My surgeon told me that he wishes he could give a magic sleeping pill for those first couple of weeks because of the different emotions we have to deal with. Its really ruff for some of us. Im 3+ months out and 80 lbs down and I feel amazing. This surgery works and will work for you. Keep up the good work and prepare to feel great. It will happen soon.

I was sleeved Mar 29th. Starting weight was 330. Current weight is 251. Lost 79 lbs. I have been lucky and have had no major stalls. I am losing constantly. Im sure a stall is coming tho. I exercise daily and can only eat about 600 calories.

Wow..u look great. Congrats. Keep up the good work.

I am 3 months post op. Started at 330 and now im at 255. I have lost 75 lbs and people are just now noticing. Just be patient...it takes time.

I have had 2 c-sections and my gall bladder removed. For me the sleeve was worse. I felt terrible after this surgery for a week or so.

I can only tell you my personal opinion and I would not do anything that soon after surgery besides walk, rest, and sip water. The first couple of wks post op were horrible for me. Some people do great though. I went camping one month after surgery and got so sick from the heat. This is just my experience. Good luck.

Once your fully recovered around 4-6 oz. I am 3 months out and can only eat about 2 oz. at a time.

I am almost 3 months post op and I promise you this is normal. I would go to the bathroom and cry while everyone ate. That was only the first wk or two. It gets better. Just hang in there. Walking is a great thing to do while everyone else eats.

I was a cash pay and did not tell my Dr until after. He seems happy for me. I could care less what he thinks though.

I will be 10 wks post op tmrw. Im just curious of others progress who are post op about the same amount of time as m
