I was sleeved on a Friday and went back to work the next Wednesday. I was tired by the end of the day but like you, I never had any pain or nausea. I did make sure to have water at all times and I think that was the secret to my success. Oh, by the way, I'm 56 years old!

Wow! What a difference! You look beautiful!

You are sooo cute! Congratulations on your weight loss!

I was sleeved September 21 - down 32 pounds!! I haven't lost an ounce this week though

You look amazing! Congratulations!

Uggh! I hate those Lortab dreams! Thankfully I only had to take it twice in the hospital and once the morning I left the hospital (I had a six hour drive home). My pain was so minimal I didn't have to have any once I got home and only took liquid Tylenol once when I get home. My surgery was so non-eventful and painless.

I noticed myself snapping at people at work my third week out. Since I've been able to chew and eat something besides those stupid shakes my mood has improved considerably!

I paid $9700 right here in the US with a fantastic, skilled surgeon in the nicest hospital I had ever seen! My cost included 2 nights in the hospital and all the surgical costs. I have had absolutely no problems and went back to work on Wednesday after my surgery on Friday. I think I received excellent care. Oh, by the way, I had mine done in Dallas with Dr. Dirk Rodriguez.

You look great! Congratulations!

This may be too much information, but I've noticed that my BMs are considerably smellier than they were pre-surgery, not that it ever smelled like roses. Is this due to the surgery, or is it because of all the protein I'm taking in?

Wow! You look great! Congratulations!

I loved Campbells bean and bacon soup blended in my Magic Bullet. I felt like I was really eating!

You look great! Congratulations on your big loss!

My weight on day of surgery 9-21-12 - 293.6, today I weighed 272.2. Down 21.4 pounds!

LizTex, I believe God definitely had his hand in my decision to have this surgery. When I started thinking about it, I also started praying about it, and I can say honestly without question that every single thing fell into place, including the timing, the financial aspect, and also the fact that my kids' schedules were open for my surgery date and they were able to go with me (I had to drive 6 hours to Dallas for mine). I also sought the prayers of my close friends and family, and when I was rolled into surgery I felt absolutely protected and sure of my decision. I had my surgery on the 21st (at 56 years old), and I have had no issues at all. I've had no pain, and went back to work full time on Wednesday after my surgery on Friday. So, for me...FAITH MATTERS!!
