Does Dr. Illan use glue or stitches? I don't know why I haven't asked before since I'm less than 20 days from surgery. Lol

I am scheduled for May 15th!! Maybe I will see you there. It would be great to meet some others for moral support.
YAY. AWESOME! I'm glad to know someone else will be there the same time!"Henry" and Apple1 reacted to this -
Question: Did you have your surgery in the US? Or Mexico? It matters!!
Can I ask why you say it matters? What is the difference do you think? -

It feels like I have had this countdown for a year now and it's only been two months. I can't wait to get surgery behind me so I can start a new life! Anyone else getting sleeved in May?

Good luck! That's so awesome! Thanks for the insight and inspiration!I was cleared for anything 3 weeks after surgery. I started Water aerobics, walking, weight training, and zumba then. I didn't start running until much later. I was about 9 months out. A 72 year old lady in my zumba class ran a marathon. She had bariatric surgery 8 years ago. I decided that in 2016 I would run a half marathon. The first one I found was in November of 2016. I signed up and then started the couch to 5K app. I hated it at first. But, I had told everyone that I was going to run a half so I kept at it. About 5 months in, I actually started to enjoy it. I saw a half marathon that was offered in September for $1 so I signed up. I upped my training a bit and was able to run it. I was slow: 2:41:52. I did better on my 2nd one in November: 2:27:34. I will run my 3rd half marathon in 2 weeks. My husband and I try to run some sort of race every month. We do anywhere from a 5K to a half marathon. I eventually want to train for a marathon.

I am curious as to know when you started running after surgery? I am wanting to start training for a half marathon after surgery but wanted to know how long it took you to get exercising again?

Weight gain after 1 week post op
in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Posted
I could've written this post because the EXACT same thing is happening to me. I was sleeved 5/16. I gained three pounds one week and I have no reason why. I lost those three pounds after a week. However I've only lost 1 pound since surgery. I feel your frustration.
