I got sleeved in Mexico 5 weeks ago. I am doing great. I have always been a fast healer and this surgery was no exception. The only issue I had was getting wore out extremely easy after moving around.

I hsve lost 36 pounds.

The first 32 pounds came off in the first two weeks. I just dropped the other four after a 3 week stall.

I am very happy so far.

I also was worried cuz my knees don't cooperate with me. I was put on a bicycle type machine and the tech had to actually help me pedal the last few seconds so I wouldn't have to repeat the whole test ! Yeah. It was awesome. But I got threw it. U will too. It only FEELS like u might die. Lol. I'm 5'2". 270 lbs before surgery. Surgery date was4/4/13. Today I weighed 210. Only 11 more lbs till I get to onederland ! Been way too many yrs since I could say that! Best to u!

What is the name of your insurance company? I have UHC and they also require a supervised diet. I don't know the duration yet.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
