I have also lost 50lb my surgery was 3mos ago today. I am very happy with it so far. Still have a protein drink every am, yogurt, almonds, meat and veggies. I have had some bread and very small amt carbs, too scared of dumping.

Abnormal ekg is not always a showstopper. They may want you to get clearance from a cardiologist.

If it is a surgery center you have to have someone drive you. Don’t know about hospital. Your surgeons office should know the answer to that.

Flying today. No seat belt extender. ??

One more thing. I’m not the heaviest person in my family anymore!!

I am flying next week for the first time since my surgery! Hope I don’t have to ask for an extender. On a related note I really had been wanting a pair of red jeans and I found some. Bought the next size down without trying them on AND THEY FIT!

I have on a shirt today I’ve never been able to button.

I have a shirt on today that I have never been able to button before ??

I told my friends and my co workers. The only person who has been less than supportive surprisingly was a really close friend. Other than that everyone has been super supportive.

Don’t know if it is considered a true complication but my only real complaint is constipation. I think I finally have things moving again. Miralax is my new best friend.

The preop diet was not fun. Yogurt popsicles and soup were my friend. I don’t want to eat soup again for a really long time.

I had it done as an outpatient. Went back to dr the next am to have drain removed.

I’m down 40lbs 7 weeks out.

I can cross my legs to tie my shoes

I am 6 weeks out and anything with mayo (chicken salad, egg salad) completely grosses me out. I’m so sad! I love mayo!
