If sitting makes it worse it is likely related to the disc bulges rather than your WLS.

I had pain for a few days. This next two weeks will be hard, but you WILL feel better. Stay hydrated, get rest, walk, get your Protein in, and let time pass and your body heal. The worst is behind you!

I had surgery May 18th of this year and I still find it unbelievable that I can go and get close in a non plus size section!! Blood pressure issues are gone, no more sleep apnea can work out with weights and the elliptical!! I will be 50 my birthday and I feel better than I have since I was 30!!

As of today, I am obese. Normally, the knowledge of being obese is pretty distressing, but pre-op, I was "Morbidly Obese", then I scaled down to "Severely Obese". As of today, I am merely "Obese. The next hurdle is to get to merely "Overweight", and hopefully, someday, "Healthy Weight". So yay for being obese, LOL.

I just bought a new bra and panty set today (just one and I was too tired attempt try on) if they don't fit I'm going to scream...

I started this journey @ 470lbs. I'm 8 1/2 weeks post op and today I weighed in at 399lbs!

This word is for all the pre-op/recent surgery folks. Stick with it...Follow the steps. It's more than worth it.
Good luck and God bless us all on this journey!

Maybe you need a new shul! ;)

Karl A, my surgeon gave me an estimate of 210. I'm sure he'll be glad I proved him wrong, and I'm not done yet either!

Good morning everyone!!
its been a long time since I’ve been online and this journey has definitely been interesting . I was sleeved on Aug 6, 2018
my highest weight was 336 lbs surgery weight was 298, current weight is 230♥️
I am so grateful for this opportunity, I wish I had done this years ago . I have so much energy, I really feel like a new person . I do have one issue ..... I’m having trouble changing my profile 😫, please if any of you can help please🤗

Congratulations! I look forward to reaching that milestone, only 11 lbs away.

Congrats- way to go!

Congrats! I was told by my surgeon that I probably won't reach onederland. I was informed I'd probably settle in the 220 area. I'm pretty determined to prove him wrong though

Great work! I know it will have been hard, but its sure worth it!

AWESOME!!! Wooo hooo. So happy for you and your accomplishments. Keep up the good work 👍

Well, almost exactly 6 months post op (VSG 6/1) I weigh less than 200 pounds for the first time since...since I don’t know! College probably?
Feel great, no longer stressed about getting my Protein. At the gym 2 or 3 days a week, actually enjoy working out! Down 86 pounds, 10 inches in my waist (size 46 to 36), no longer snore, and have so much more confidence. My wife and kids are proud of me, for the hard work I’ve done and continue to do, and for taking care of myself. I’m off all meds, only taking Vitamins (instead of 2 blood pressure meds). My work is scheduling new professional photos for me because I don’t look like the person in my old pics anymore.
I always figured I’d be obese forever because I lacked willpower’s. I kinda figured this would fail too, despite my best efforts. But VSG does work - at least, it sure has for me!

Can you and should you are separate questions. It would probably go down fine, but whether you want to spend your precious room in your new stomach on halo top is another thing altogether. My nutritionist preferred I go with sugar free popsicles.
