I got on the scale after going to the doctor one week post op, and I've lost a whopping 11 lbs in one week. I'm super happy and encouraged that I've made the right choice. Watch out world here I come.

That is awesome! I have a fear that I won't lose anything.

Congrats one week post-op I was up 6 pounds. I was 299 day of surgery then after surgery I was 235 - I finally hit 222. I haven't been upset about it, I knew that is the way it's going to be. I'm also still VERY swollen. My lupus flaired up like crazy and tried attacking my drain and it hasn't helped. Soon enough I'll settle down and be able to catch up with the rest of the crew.
