Congratulations, Redmaxx! I see we had surgery a day apart as I had mine on 10/18/16. Our other stats are pretty much the same too. I'm doing well and so happy I had the surgery. Last Wednesday I had my one-year follow up appointment and my doctor is very pleased with where I'm had. Lab #s are great and that's so important. Keep doing what your doing! :-)

You look great and very happy, too! Congratulations!!

You are moving right along! And you started the 12-week program today? Awesome!! You mention smoking and I just remembered today is my one year anniversary of being smoke free!! I did it . I quit way early because i knew i had to before they'd do surgery. At no time did they ever test me. Not even day of surgery. Good luck to you! Mayo will take good care of you. They are THE BEST!!

. Hi! Are you going through Mayo Clinic-Rochester? That's where I had my wls. At St. Marys Hospital, actually. I had my first appointment with my endocrinologist March 15, 2016, then psych and nutrition appointments followed by Mayo's required 12 weeks of classes. My surgery date was October 18, 2016.

Me!! I went through what you're describing. I'm 11 weeks post-op. The first 2 or 3 weeks I felt like myself and so excited to start my journey. Then "it" hit me. I felt a little depressed some days. Sad I guess. I also felt alienated I guess is the word that comes to mind. Finally this past weekend all of a sudden it hit me that I was feeling really good. Like my old self again! I realized this as I was preparing my pill boxes for the week. I remember thinking how normal that felt. That's when the sun seemed to come out over me and I felt happy and at peace. You may just need time to adjust to all that is new now. Give it yourself to me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
