Chyna do you mind if I ask your BMI before sx? I'm happy things are going so well!! Congrats!

Not quite sure of my BMI right before surgery but I was at 40 a month before. Honestly, I didnt sick to the whole liquid preop diet that well.

Awesome!! Congrats on your surgery. Thanks for sharing your experience. Im seriously considering Garcia. Still in the fence. Everyone has had such a positive experience with him. Maybe Ill join u on the other side soon.

I highly recommend him! I told my coordinator that I wanted to speak with him before I made an final decisions and he took time out of his busy schedule to call me 2 days later. I was very surprised!

Im alive! lol. Spent the first night mostly sleeping. I thank my lucky stars I didnt have it bad! No gas pains at all (wow)' date=' no chest pain, no incision pain, only nausea the first night on and off. The only sensation is kinda like your stomach is tight. The drain does get anoying but it doesnt hurt. Something I wasnt aware of was the mucus. You will be clearing your throat and spitting up flem like you do when you get a cold in the winter time. All of the patients here are but its not that extreme. Dr.Garcia and staff rocks! He comes to speak to you b4 surgery and advises you to walk etc. I told him if he did a good job Id dance! He came up to me after the surgery and asked if I had danced yet and I told him all night long and we had a good laugh. They dilute the leak test solution with a whole cup of Water but its still nasty. Cant imagine it straight. The Nurses come check on you every couple of hours and are very attentive. You will get to know others on your floor who have the sleeve as well. Everyone here is very nice. I hope you all have a noneventful surgery as well! And this coming from a crybaby who went to get sleeved by herself. If I can do it so can you all![/quote']

I'm knew you would like it I told you they are like clock work..... You sound like you feel like I did..... Best wishes and happy healing..... You are right he does Rock!!! The best doctor I've had out side of my primary she rocks too!!!!! Congrats and welcome to the other side where theres always room for one more.....

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
