Hi. I'm 5'0". I'm awaiting my insurance approval, and most likely I'll have surgery in November. I'm curious if anyone had Dr. Marc Bessler do their surgery, from NY. I'm also wondering if anyone here is experiencing any acid reflux. I've read so much about how bad it can be. I'd also love to hear about your immediate post-op experiences. Were you in pain? How bad was the pain? Was it from gas or something else... I feel like a sponge. I want to get as much information as I possibly can. I'm full of anticipation, and yes, fear too. Thanks in advance for listening to my rambling... LOL

I'm now 5 feet and 168. I feel so much better! Still a long way to go. The weight loss is so notable on us shorties. My best friend of 20 years didn't recognize me from behind the other day.

Hello all, I'm 4'11' and pre op I weighed 229 the day of my surgery May 27th I weighed 219. Today I weigh 181 so total loss 48lbs in about 4 and 1/2 months. It's a good outcome but as of last month I started having bad heartburn. I take Omeprazole 20mg twice daily and it still doesn't help. My doctor said it was because I was eating large portions than I should which is true. I started back all the way to liquids again and hoping things will change. Otherwise I have no clue what to do. These bad eating habits are coming back. It's so hard. Blahhh. Forgot to mention I had a revision from band to sleeve. I'm starting to think I should have just done the bypass ????????

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
