The incisions all look good! The only one that even hurts is where the drain was, and that was just taken out yesterday morning. :-)

Sorry for the late reply. I was offshore first thing this morning. I walked up to the desk clerk and asked if I could board first due to surgery and they fixed me up with a good seat by the window

Today is my one week surgerversary and I weighed yesterday (Fridays are my weigh days) and I was down 11.2 lbs since the morning of my surgery! And I lost a little over 5 lbs on the pre-op diet, so 16 lb all together! I'm pretty damn excited. I know it won't always be like that, but I'm happy for the jump start! I'm feeling really good and was actually already given the ok to eat purée. Thank you guys for your support :-)

I didn't say he didnt use the bougie, i said I didnt know if he did and never heard it mentioned so I am very very pleased to see here that he does. I am feeling absolutely perfect, no problems of any kind, so he definitely did something right :))

 

 

I am so happy for you Meg.. welcome to your new life :)

I was sleeved by Dr Almanza on Sept 5 and he used a boughie with me too. I believe his literature states that he does and indicates the size. I had a very good experience and was well taken care of. their communication can be a bit lax but I have no regrets and would do it again in a minute. made some great friends that i hope to maintain contact with, Most fun was a special shopping trip put together just for us to Ensenada and the blow hole ...it was awesome! yep not everyone felt like going but those of us who did enjoyed every minute of the tour.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
