I had my surgery 10 months ago today, October 15, 2013 and haven't regretted it one single day since. I'm down 70lbs and have another 50 to get to goal! So glad I made the decision to save my life!

Hi! I'm 3 weeks post op and just wondering what everyone was eating T this stage. In almost Fraid to try new but because of the hurricane last week, I had to try a few different foods due to having to leave my house and my food behind. I tried a little bit of lazana ( no meat) a lot of scrambled eggs, cup I noodle soup...now that I'm back home and with full power, I'd just like to know what most people were eating at 3 weeks our. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I had surgery on 10/15 do I'm 10 days post op...I have been having a burning pain around my main incision that's not getting any better. The incision itself looks fine, although it is sunken in- idk if anyone else has had that happen? I have read that is somewhat normal and should flatten out over time. Anyway, I went for my post op appt today and my dr said I should not be in so much pain...he also said that area looks to be more swollen than the rest of my stomach so he is sending me for a ct scan. He tried massaging the area of the incision and tried "popping" the skin out (the sunken area). It hurt like hell so he stopped and said it will eventually flatten out on its own. So now I'm a nervous wreck just thinking about what could be wrong with me. I go for my ct scan at 11 tomorrow but I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to drink all the contrast liquid that's required. Has anyone had the horrible burning pain that I'm going thru? Getting up and sitting down are torture- everything is torture! I just hope its not serious...

Hi everyone! I'm still in hospital- supposed to go home today but last night I had fever so we'll see! My dr said it went perfect, no complications at all but when I try eating Jello or drinking Water I get that horrible pain- even though I'm doing it sooooooo slowly...wondering when that will get better and wondering if I'm crazy for having done this to myself

I just got home from the hospital 10 minutes ago- had sleeve and gallbladder removed...not fun but at least it's all done in one procedure! Many times, after significant weight loss, people have to go back in for another surgery because of gallstones. You'll be ok- but it's not easy...be prepared for it and hopefully you have a good support system! Good luck!

Thank you all for the supportive words!! Getting ready to leave for the hospital now! I'm still nervous but excited- this is the first day to a new, healthy life!! Good luck to all having surgery today- keep us in your prayers! xo
