Congratulations!! You will never regret this surgery. I had surgery April 2016 and weighed 330. I currently weigh 180. I love it. The best decision I made in my life. You will go through rough times but don't give up. You will look in the mirror and say wow. It's a wonderful journey.

Lola, Check this out. My sister and I got in an argument two days ago and she told me that I was worthless because I couldn't lose weight on my own and had to have surgery. I was mad and told her at least I had the right mind to change my life for the better. Her and I have struggled with our weight throughout or lives and I think she is probably mad that I went through with surgery. I have no regrets having surgery. It was the best decision of my life. Isn't it sad how family can be. Martin Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Hello. My surgery date was April 11th. I am in my sixth week right now. You must make sure and eat enough Protein. My nut says three meals a day supplemented by two to three Snacks per day in between meals. Weight loss at this point is slow but gradual. I don't eat much carbs at this point. I am able to eat what I want but I have not added starches to my diet. Good luck with everything. Stay positive. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Hello. I am 14 days post op today and still have soreness at the site where they took out my stomach. You will be ok. I think my pain is from moving around sleeping as well. Have a good day. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Michael, I am new to this forum and new to the sleeve. My surgery date was 4/11/16. I was scared to make the step toward the sleeve. As you I was always involved in many sports. It just got to the point where I was active and my weigh never moved. I am 38 and my highest weight was 340. That was my active football lineman weight. Lol. I started my two week pre-op diet and lost at least 25 pounds in those two weeks. Mostly by cutting carbs but especially the calories. I even thought about backing out on surgery since my weight was finally going down. But I decided to see through my journey and had surgery. I am one week post op and am down to 288. So far I have no regrets and am here to answer any other questions you may have. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
