Everything went well, I got the gastric sleeve and a hernia repaired. I should be able to go home tonight. Thank you for everyone following my posts.

Glad to hear that your surgery went well and you are doing great. When was your surgery?

Congratulations and hope you continue doing better!

It was yesterday at 12:45. They say I will be out by after dinner.

That is so great! my surgery is not until 7/10 I hope all goes well....wishing you good luck safe recovery and lots of weight loss (smile).

I am great. Here pretty soon I will get up and walk around

On all those diets I was on before surgery made me lose a lot of weight. I started at 218 pounds, they told me I was just a couple pounds under. I knew I needed help losing weight so I gained weight I went to 224, then I was ok to go. In three Months on the step one diet I went from 224 to 215. Then a month later I went to 215 to 210. I lost all the weight I needed to. At this time I was on step two. I didn't know when to go on step three. Oops. I went to see my surgeon on Monday and they weighed me at 208. He told me to go on step three now. Yesterday they weighed me before my surgery and I was at 202. I have 93 pounds to go. My weight loss I going great. Soon I will be healthy and love my body

Yay! Love you body now, and every step of the way - it's going to be working hard, be good to it!

I will thank you. Come to think of it. Sitting in this chair in my room. I am loving my body more and more every hour. My feet used to hurt, but now they feel normal. I am do happy.

Are you in any pain?

Glad to hear that you are doing well. Your an inspiration to those of us that are months away.

I am in pain, but it is very light pain. It's like getting your gall bladder out. The pain comes and goes. If I had to rate my pain. One being the best and ten being the worst, I would rate it at a three right now. Of corse I am ready to take my meds soon. I am about to leave the hospital.

Thank you for saying I am an inspiration. I have never been told that before. Trust me those months will pass by.

Your welcome. I'm actually just finishing up my 2nd month of Bariatric weight management class and I have lost 17.5 lbs since May 3rd, so I am feeling really good about following the meal plan and lifestyle changes. The sleeve procedure is my first choice, but my doctor tends to prefer gastric bypass due to no long term research available yet for sleeve patients. I'm not worried about that (research), I'm going to press through the next 4 months of class and continue to prepare for surgery in November/December 2012. Wish me luck....no, pray for me.

So happy the surgery went well for you! You have such a positive attitude. I'm sure you'll be extrordinarily successful!

I will pray for you. Go with the one that you think is best for you. I was going to get the bypass but my doctor said that I should get the sleeve instead because I am very healthy. I chose the sleeve because he did make since. The bypass is mainly for people who have a lot of problems. The sleeve is for people who want to fix the problem before it becomes a problem. That is in my opinion. If you believe the sleeve is best then get the sleeve. You are paying for it. It is your choice. Good luck

Thank you. I try to look at things with a possitave atitude because life seems easier that way. Lol.
