7 weeks out and down 33 lbs down. Feels like the weight drop is slowing down, but am feeling my clothes sliding off me. So I guess I'm losing the inches!

Same here! I don’t even feel like I had surgery.

When are you planning on going back to work?

I went back to work after 1 week. I have a desk job, so no stress for me there. Feeling really great at 1 month out.

Hello,

Constipation any body? Had my surgery on 02/14/19 and I had only one bowel movement .. any suggestions?

I had surgery on 2/11 and I swear I was averaging 1 bowel movement per week for 2 weeks. Baby prunes Stage 1 food got me out of my slump! I'm now doing much better. I'm down 33 lbs in 1 month. 😊

I just had the surgery done on Thursday. I'am having stomach cramps, spasms, pain and discomfort. I have been afraid to eat anything, cause of all the discomfort that I'm having. The gas pains are unbearable. It hurts so much. I have also been depressed since the surgery. My question is will all of this pass. Or is this what I have to look forward to for the rest of my life.

Tomorrow!

February 11th. Week one post op nearly in the books! Feeling pretty good.

I had my band removed last June and am now going through the process for my revision to a gastric sleeve. My insurance is making me jump through all the hoops again as if I never had the lap band. Very frustrating and now surgery is at least another 6 - 7 months away. They are requiring 6 months of nutritionist visits. Sigh. I suppose it will depend on your insurance company. I have BCBS.

I was a lap-band patient for 12 years and had my band removed last June due to complications from the band. Now looking at revision surgery and was recommended to do the gastric sleeve. I've attended the sessions to review and my surgeon has done these for the past 8 years. Feel comfortable going this route. Wish me luck!
