I'm not going to deny that we enjoyed this nsv. In fact as crazy as it sounds it seemed to both of us to have more girth. Either way Mrs. Fat Man was quite happy as was I

A TMI moment for you. I've always joked that I'm hung like a Japanese pornstar. Imagine my surprise when I look down at my morning wood and my penis is longer! I immediately call in Jeanna to enjoy this "miracle"! She comes in and deflates my excitement by saying that it isn't.???? That is when I realized that perspective is everything, my junk isn't bigger, my belly is smaller! Heck yeah! A win is a win and I'll take it!

I feel blessed to be on the other side of surgery. Everything went well, just sore from not being able to burp or pass gas.
I didn't take in much fluids the day of surgery because I slept so much. The funny thing is I weigh today than I did the day of surgery. I'm guessing it's the gas .

I felt the SAME way...and honestly i DIDNT do straight liquids, it made my head too foggy and it was affecting my job. I did 2 Protein shakes a day, then ate a VERY sensible meal. I started at 248 and was SHOCKED on my surgery day that I weighed in at 227. The key is to SERIOUSLY limit your carb intake. On surgery day my Dr said everything inside me looked great.

Thirteen years ago, bariatric angel Kristin S. waited with me in the hospital room the day of my bariatric surgery: August 27, 2003. Kristin stayed with me up until the last moment when the nurses brought the gurney to deliver me into my new life. Today I Celebrate 13-years of defeating obesity and it's related diseases of diabetes and hypertension and asthma and GERD.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. To all those who have helped me along the way, to those I help along their way, to my family and to G-d for always loving me, and to my self for doing this! I am grateful for my health and my life.
Full disclosure: I had plastic surgery after weight loss in 2013. The gastric bypass weight loss undoubtedly saved my life, but the aesthetic results you see in the "after" photos are not typical of bariatric surgery alone.

Can you give me the name of the page? This link wont allow me to open it probably because you got it under your name? Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App

I recently (8/17/16) had Gastric bypass surgery at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak. I had the best nurses and doctors anyone could ask for. My surgeon was Dr.David Chengelis. He was absolutely amazing and made sure I was completely aware of everything before surgery. My anesthesiologist team were fantastic and answered my many questions ( I had not been under before). Overall I would recommend Beaumont if you're looking in Michigan!
