i was 2 days in the hosp and i took one week off. i have a deskjob too and i survived but you should really consider 2 weeks off if possible because you will be extremely EXHAUSTED

Hi everyone just a little update and some other random stuff. just want to start by saying i am about 3 1/2 months post op and 5 lbs from my goal weight i have lost about 33 lbs so far. I COULDNT BE HAPPIER AND I COULDNT BE HEALTHIER!! SO GLAD I GOT SLEEVED! i feel back to normal now because i felt like someone else in a diff body for the past 4 years! anyway, everything has gone well i followed all my post op instructions and my recent bloodwork shows all Vitamin levels normal. i have been eating healthy and i feel good. i can eat whatever i wish but i do notice that the unhealthy stuff i just plain ol DONT LIKE anymore. normally i eat "my fit foods" meals and a small is actually 2 meals for me. LET ME TELL U HOW MUCH MONEY I HAVE SAVED POST OP! i never realized how much $$ i was spending on food and Snacks now i spend about $25 and that is Breakfast, lunch and dinner for the whole week. weird thing i noticed: i am very particular about my drink. i have to have ice, i like to drink from a cup and straw and i am hooked on brewed ice tea and fresh squeezed lemonade. Food just isnt the same to sum it up i used to LIVE TO EAT, now I EAT TO LIVE. My surgeon is Dr. Darido at 1st choice weight loss, i love my surgeon he is the best and his staff is GREAT!

hi there, i was low bmi pre -surgery as well. the weight is coming off very slowly but i am beyond happy! i was expecting the slow weight loss so no big deal... as of when i left the hosp i do not feel like i had any type of surgery. thankfully, i still feel great and no complications. i have no desire to eat or drink anything but i do what i know needs to be done and i am fine.

size? i do not know but my dr. did tell me that he made my sleeve "loose" because i had a low bmi.

i took one week off, had surgery on Oct 6th and came back to work Oct 13th. The first day back i did have to force myself to get up, dressed and come in. i think the more your up and moving the faster you will recover. i was extremely exhausted the first couple of days back but im great now. i feel completely back to normal 17 days post op.

I have one from my last csection so I am packing mine. surgery in the morning!!!

thanks, im having surgery Monday feels like your talking to me lol

I am also getting sleeved on Monday the 6th. I am SUPER excited but today i do kind of feel selfish at the same time. kinda like wow i could do a million other things with this money but in reality i shouldnt feel like this because my family isnt going to be without something because i decided to spend this money on myself sooooooo.... i just want to be happy and healthy for myself AND my family.

MONDAY OCT 6!! Feeling EXCITED, kinda nervous and a little bit selfish or guilty for some reason? Good luck everyone

im not sleeved yet but my bmi is also 32 and i am going to dr. darido

im on my last week. surgery is oct 6th and i have a 2 day pre-op liquid diet.i was told not to lose one lb because my bmi is low so im going out with a bang and eating all my favorites this week.

CONGRATS!

finally realized that i have EVERY excuse not to go anywhere anymore because i feel so horrible about my weight. i refuse to take pics or let anyone take pics of me. my husband is 12 years younger than me and i am embarrased to be his OLD & FAT wife. i cant sleep at night because my legs and feet hurt. people have been asking me if i am pregnant.... when i see people i havent seen in a while they say "you look so different" yeah i look fat.... im down to one pair of pants that fit...

October 6th, 2 day liquid diet.

i started researching and consultations in August and now i am scheduled for surgery on Oct 6th. (self pay as well). the handful of people that know what i have been looking into and what i am doing are also telling me OMGSH SO SOON??!!! well yeah, WHY WAIT? im ready now ........ its them who must not be ready. my hubby is supporting me but is also uneasy about the whole thing but he has no idea about the whole process and the actual procedure so hes like --ok i guess.
