Hi everyone! I am 3 weeks out today. So far I have healed fine and feel good about my decision. I have my wtf was I thinking moments, ex: when I ate or drank a little too fast. I know though that I am just at the beginning of this process and it will get easier. I am glad to have found this site and look forward to talking with you and learning from everyone.

4 weeks out here and still having to force myself to drink ! I, too, have learned what it feels like to literally foam at the mouth so I'm very cautious cause it sucks !!! Personally, I think anyone who has NOT had that WTF did I do to myself thought just ain't quite right.... :P

I'm 3 weeks out. I do understand what you guys are talking about. Now I keep going crazy thinking that the sleeve will not work. I had a great surgery with a excellent recovery so I guess that's why I'm going crazy with crazy thoughts.

Thank you all for replying. It is nice to be able to talk to people who can relate.I don't know anyone who has personally had the sleeve, and everyone else who hasn't had surgery thinks that this is an easy fix and that nothing is hard. I try to pay them no mind, because in the end I did this for myself.

I haven't had bad thoughts either. I just worry that it wont work. Just early out jitters I guess. I wasnt nervous about any of the this, and haven't had any problems. Just going crazy. Maybe I need to go back to work. Lol

At my post op appt, which was 8 days after surgery, I had lost a total of 20 pounds. 2 weeks later I am only down 8 more pounds. Whats up with that? I do see a difference though, so I am not sure why the numbers aren't showing :(

      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!!
