That's awesome! Good for you. I'm almost 4 weeks post op and down 30 pounds. It's a process but well worth it. All the best!

I'm from South Jersey! How about you?

I was told by my surgeon that if your going to get a leak it'll happen early on. I'm almost 4 weeks out and was concerned but she said at this point your good unless you try eat like a whole sub! Pretty much unlikely but I did follow the rules I was and AM just to scared.

I was sleeved on 9/18. I'm down 30 pounds I've been cleared to eat solids and so far everything goes down just fine. I eat greek yogurt, home made Turkey chilli, Turkey meatballs, veggies burgers, baked chicken and fish. Just no carbs or sugar I'm afraid of both.

So I'm new to this site but I'm happy to be here and thrilled to find a forum for black folks. I'm 26 years old with no health issues until I found out I had hypothyroidism 3 weeks prior to surgery which explained the excessive weight gain! This made my choice easier. I'm 4 weeks post-op down 30 pounds sleeved on 9-18-13 and I did this to remain healthy! :-)

LOL same experience. Which is good while at work ( I work in a small office of about 6)

Hello! I'm from South Jersey and I'm 4 weeks post-op. I would love to chat with someone who understands and can exchange experiences. I have ton of support too but know one who can relate. All the best on your upcoming surgery!

Hey I'm 26 from South Jersey and I'm 4 weeks post-op. :-)

I love spanx! I've wore them prior to surgery and after. I don't have much tummy but I love what it does for my hour glass shape. I ALWAYS buy mine 1-2 sizes smaller. Try the panty style they work the best no thigh lines on your pants. :-)

I did the same thing! Worked like a charm.

September 18th here!
