Ok so my surgery was about two weeks ago, seems as though its been longer than that. It is an odd feeling to have no huger after going my whole life obsessed with food. I don't even think about food. I find myself forgeting to eat sometimes. I am thinking about setting my alarm to remind me to eat lol. I have a long long way to go, but am so excited. I would be lying if I said I didn't do the surgery for cosmetic reasons, I am only 35. I feel like I have my whole life ahead of me. But the main reason is is my 4 wonderful kids ! I want to be able to play with them or go to their school without feeling ashamed. Anyway I worry alot about excess skin. I f look up tips on the internet all the time. I go to my doctor on wednesday , I can't wait to find out how much I've lost and when I can start working out. Wish me luck.

I got my sleeve a week ago Dec 21 to be exact. I am turning 35 next week and also looking forward to working out. My doctor was okay with me walking. Please post what your doctor says. Good luck!

Hi April, I had surgery on Dec. 13 also ! I don't really feel hungry - but my stomach grumbles like every 2 hours so I know it is time to put something in there. I have had such a great experience though. I needed to have my surgery scheduled before the end of the year ( insurance) and we were getting down to the wire when they authorized it and on Dec. 7 told me to get my test done, see the surgeon on Dec. 9 and go to surgery on Mon. Dec. 13. I did not have time to get nervous it all happened so fast . How have you felt ? - people keep asking me about nausea and energy, but I feel great. I am so happy this was my choice and am looking forward to getting back to 'normal' size and running, I really want to run with the kids. Silly huh? Well I look forward to your progress. Talk to you later.
