You look great! -
The pain was not bad for me at all, I didn't even take pain meds. I took gas x to prevent gas pains and walked as soon as I was allowed. Walk, walk, walk.....that's the trick. Good Luck!

Will sleep apnea ever go away?
Gig replied to Vidalia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
some people have sleep apnea without being overweight. I have a brother-in-law who is thin with severe sleep apnea. -

My surgery was on a Thursday, I was off the following week but could have gone back the Monday after. I felt fine. -

I usually buy jeans or a shirt that are to small so I can work on eventually fitting into them. Well, today I bought a pair of capris in hopes that they will fit by summer. I bought a size 8. I got home and tried them on to see how small they were and they FIT comfortably too! I haven't been that size since middle school.....actually I think I skipped size 8 in my sleep in 7th grade lol. love my sleeve!

I love when things I bought to small are now are to big.......awesome feeling!

It will happen out of nowhere! Good luck!

Thank you.

4 days out and having second thoughts
Gig replied to dreamerfalava's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It definitely gets better. I'm 10 weeks out and I'm down 43 lbs. I feel great. It does take time to figure out a new way of eating but it's so worth it! -

3rd day post op question- concerned
Gig replied to want2live's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my sleeve on 10/11/12. I felt bloated every time I had anything. I had no appetite at all, eating was actually a chore that I almost cried every time I had to eat. It does get better and this week I actually felt hunger for the first time since surgery. I can't eat much, but at least I didn't have to force it. I'm down 35 pounds today. I'm very glad I had the sleeve. -
I was sleeved 10/11/12. I saw the Dr. today. I've lost 34 lbs. He was very happy with that. He said I will lose slower than some people because I have less to lose. I was 205 the day of surgery, today I'm 171 lbs.
