Hello all! I was sleeved 9/3! Yay! Surgery went without complications! Praise the Lord! I know I am being impatient, but when I got home I weighed myself and was 10 pounds heavier! For those that have been in my shoes, how long before you start to notice a change? How long before the swelling goes down? I have been following the diet to the T and have been drinking my water. I am so excited to continue working on new me!

congrates to u!! I waited a week before i weighed myself.

Congrats. I gained 12 pounds with surgery. It took over a week to get it off and by two weeks the swelling was better. Best wishes. It will start coming off again. For me it was all the Iv fluids.

I forgot to add Impatient Sleeved 9/3 lol!

Congrats on the surgery!

I had gastric bypass on 8.8.12 an was the same weight for a week or so but now I'm a month out an have lost 28lbs just be patient an it will slowly but surely come off

But I will not weigh myself anymore and just let my body do what it's gotta do! I'm concerned about the swelling because I go back to work on Monday. Mom said to wear loose fitting clothes...hello I had the surgery in part because all my clothes are super tight...lol jk! I'm hopping the swelling goes down a bit.

Ur going back to work so soon already? I've been off for a month lol I'm glad to finally go back Monday!

I knew you would do awesome!! Was watching to see when you would post after surgery! Take care of you!! Loose clothes for now. Found out today that i am having my sleeve on sept 18..... Excited and nervous at the same time! So happy that you are on the other side of this !

It wasn't a walk in the park but it wasn't to bad! I only took a week off because I didn't want to go through HR plus they frown upon sick leave but that's all right I feel good! I'm gonna take it slow and pray for patience. I haven't been hungry yet when my mother cooks the smell just makes my mouth water! So I'm ready to go home, to not be tortured by good smelling food! Praying for the best on this journey! Hope to hear from your experience as well!
