My 6 month check up



Recommended Posts

For everyone considering the sleeve surgery I wanted to post my progress and say go for it!!!

I was so worried about it and somedays now I forget I had surgery and just go on with my life.

I have lost 71 lbs. and feel great. I am off my cholesterol, blood pressure and sugar medications. I exercise every day and feel great doing it.

I have 30 or 40 lbs more to go and feel I can do it.

I am so thankful for this website and the people who take time to post and help everyone out. It has been so helpful to me

Thank you! Barbie: No real complications, I also had hiatial hernia repair with my surgery and have had no problems. I did notice some Hair loss about a month ago, but luckily I have thick hair so it isn't really noticable and it seems to be slowing down. Best of luck to you. I also have 2 friends who have had this same surgery since mine and they are also doing great!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
