Hello Mbasile,

I wanted to reply from South Jersey. My Sleeve was done in Philadelphia by Dr. Murayama at the University of Pennsylvania. The surgery took place at Presbyterian Hospital where he is Chief of Surgery. I highly recommend him and would choose him again. I had very little post-op pain, and had none of the gas pain that everyone talks about. I did have a small hematoma under my largest incision and that was drained and healed fine. That is a minor complication that can happen when they do not use drains (which he does not use-but it is rare). I have lost 34.5 pounds since the March Surgery, and 64.5 pounds overall. I am a very SLOW loser so don't go by my experience. Most people lose faster than me.

A friend of mine had surgery at Cooper in May, and since January she has lost over 75 pounds, and has lost more than me since May than I have since my surgery in March. Another friend had her surgery done in Vineland and also had a good result.

Feel free to ask any other questions!

I wish you the best on you search!

Nancy

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
