Good Afternoon, I used sick time/FMLA and I am a RN and I specifically asked my surgeons office not to put anything that would allude to what kind of surgery I was having, they stated they never did. It was very non specific no one knows the wiser. I did tell my nurses that I supervise and they have been very supportive. One of my nurses cousins had the sleeve over a year ago so it has been nice, she has been sharing her cousins experience with me.

Griffon, I am right there with you. I had my Gastric Sleeve 6/22/18 and I lost 15 lbs on the pre-op diet and then was 300 lbs day of surgery. I came home and I had gained to 309 from fluids because I was so sick from anesthesia and morphine. At my 2 weeks post op I weighed 285 (down 24 lbs.) I have been at 285 for 2 weeks. Yesterday I seen my surgeon for my 1 month appointment and he was very happy. He stated it is very normal for your body to stall like everyone is saying after a large amount of weight is lost right after surgery. Your body will stall and then acclimate and then begin to lose. I have not had any junk food or carbs, I am stickily eating protein or protein shake with my miralax and walking. He said I should start to see about 10-15 lbs a month after the initial weight loss. Believe it or not this morning I was 283. Best of luck and try not to get frustrated.
