You were lucky then. I had mine last night and I am in terrible pain. I had really low blood pressure and heart rate afterward and fainted three times. Had to take blood thinners and inject myself when I go home soon. Had a catheter this morning, not fun. Can barely stand and can barely sit from standing. I’m sure the results will be great but I’m not doing another one of these for my other parts. I’m going to try to be happy with all I’ve accomplished so far. To anyone considering plastic surgery... make sure you think it through and ask a ton of questions.

I wouldn't worry too much about this eval. They will ask you eating habits and stuff. Let me be completely Frank for a moment. If you want to go into the evaluation with crib notes or pointers, then maybe you aren't ready for weight loss surgery. Having this surgery is just a tool to help you move in the right direction. You have to do a lot of work to be successful. Once you have surgery, your (our) food crutch is going to be completely removed; you have be able to deal with that and it's difficult. I wish you the best of luck. Sent from my Moto G (4) using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone! I had to search for some older pics because I never allow my picture to be taken, but I found a couple to put next to one from yesterday. It will be a year post-surgery on Dec 30th and I made my first goal... 100lbs down from surgery day. Woooooooo! I was 369 on surgery day and today I got 263lbs. I can't even believe it. I also had my one-year follow up with my doctor today and she was estatic with my progress. I went from a 58 BMI to 38 BMI. I has been a long journey and I'm no where near done, but I am, for the first time in a very, very long time, happy :') Sent from my Moto G (4) using the BariatricPal App

This happened to me in the first two months. It's normal. I wish I still felt that way LOL. You will get your appetite back, it will be much less than pre-surgery, which is the point, but it won't be as bad as it is now for you. Hang in there and you'll do great!

Hi... Ho fat out are you? I had really bad pain a few weeks after surgery and it was from premixed Protein shakes. Those have lactose in them and after surgery my tolerance of lactose became nonexistent. Once I stopped that type of shake the pain stopped. Sent from my Moto G (4) using the BariatricPal App

Ok...now I'm jealous LOL Sent from my Moto G (4) using the BariatricPal App

Dude awesome! What type of surgery did you have? That is a huge weight loss. I had the sleeve and am only down 100lbs after 11.5 months. Congrats!!!!!! Sent from my Moto G (4) using the BariatricPal App

I'm sorry, but my response is to ignore your dad and everyone except yourself and your doctor. The surgery works, bottom line. Let me just debunk ONE of these so called stats...GERD. Part of the reason I got my sleeve was to get rid of GERD. You only get simple heartburn from the surgery and only if you overeat. Just like everyone else. Please. Don't worry about the "stats". This was the best thing I've ever done. It's all about helping us with our food addiction. That is the part that the moms and dads and friends don't understand. I wish you all the luck in the world.
