Congrats on the successful surgery. It's great that we can all support one another thru this journey. What Protein Shakes does everyone like the best

Made it thru surgery! Took about 2 hours
Had the sleeve & hernia. Doing ok, on oxygen about 2 hours after, some gas pain, went to the bathroom. Already & up on my feet walking in my room twice. Still light headed, so they said no laps quite yet. It's still early. So there's still a lot that could happen. Time will tell. Just remember while in the hospital to Breath Deep as you can, it helps with the gas pain. Move you feet while in bed or sitting, helps prevent clots. & walk ASAP
Good Luck to everyone that's doing the surgery today. & any other time.

Thinking of those that are being sleeved today. Here's to wishing for a speedy no complications recovery.

Philadelphia, P.A. Here, getting sleeved at U of Penn. Dr, Alan Schturich

I'm up tomorrow morning! As soon as I can, I'll share what I experienced. Here we go!

I touched on this a bit in my story. I was told a rumor, that for every 30 pounds I lost, I would gain an inch downstairs. Now I am not sure if it has been all of that, but there is a difference. First, I know that I am reaching areas that I have not reached before. Not sure I can go into to much detail, but I can say, I know, due to certain sounds that are made, like choking, that has never been done before. That, and other things. So to make a very long story, that I could go into great detail about, my sex life has been extremely wonderful since surgery. Not just for me, but for my wife.

This is hilarious!

I'm a giver in bed. I do all kinds of fun things and I've always been very flexible. However...now since losing tons of inches and weight, I have even more energy and am even more flexible.
No complaints of course from the hubby. Plus, now that my stamina has increased, we can go more rounds than before. That poor man is literally sleepy all day now since I won't let him get any sleep!

I'm September 16th, too, and nervous and excited all at once! I woke up at 2AM holding my stomach and saying to myself, "You're about to have 85 percent of your stomach removed. Have you lost your damn mind?"

My surgery is on sept 16 and this 2 week fast is killing me, I can't seem to get rid of this headache, my neck is stiff and I'm terribly irritated. My daughter's father had the full bypass surgery 3 yrs ago this month, and has gained most of the weight back, eats everything and keeps offering me food, knowing that I can't. Eating nothing but non-starchy veggie and Water is not fun at all. I hope I make it

My surgery is scheduled for September 16th, I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. Right now I'm doing a 16hr shift and I'm sitting with 2 2-liter sodas in front of me... this is it
