Hi All,

Just wanted to see if any of the ladies and gentleman that had surgery around the same time as me are on here, wanted to see how you all are doing!!

I'm great, taking it slowly but my incisions are healing well!! Down 19lbs since surgery on 10/9, that's a total of 41 pounds, yay me!! 2lbs and I'm out of the 300's!!

For all of you going to have surgery, good luck, I had mine in Mexico with Dr Garcia and have no issues!

Hi,

Had mine 10/10, I lost 10lbs the week after surgery a total of 63lbs since beginning this journey. When I go back to the doctor 11/1, I will see my latest weight loss, and will be happy to move to the Stage 3 diet!

Good Luck!

I'm great, taking it slowly ! 2lbs and I'm out of the 300's!!

WooHoo!!!!

I had my surgery on Oct. 9th and had my first post op doctor visit yesterday. This has been simply the worst two weeks of my life but I must admit I am feeling better now. The worst part of the whole thing was I weighed in and only lost 11 lbs. . I can not believe it!!! My Doc. told me that people my age( 67) and on meds lose much slower than others....Can this be the case?..Feeling a bit weepy and blue......

Hi,

Thank you so much, its been alittle tough but getting better daily! Surgery was good, only saw Dr Garcia twice. The hotel is great, Walmart is up the road, walked there once we went back to thhe hotel. Make sure to take gauge, tape and neosporin wth you, I had to buy more from Walmart. Be sure to hide your cash, mine was taken from my purse, only $25 but still not right.

Who are you going through? I would let my GP know Im going to Mexico, I saw mine today and she wasnt to impressed i didnt tell her.

Good luck, keep me posted, im hapy to ask any questionos you may have!

Thank you for the update that is why I'm having my surgery within February

I was sleeved on 10/8. I had a previous failed band, removed in May, so this was technically a revision for me. I'm now down to the lowest weight i achieved with the band, having lost the 17 pounds or so i gained since its failure and removal.

I feel great, recovery has gone well, and i feel so much better than i ever did with the band! So happy i had this done!

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Thanks for the advice!!!

Really, money stolen from you! That's sucks!

How was your care in the hospital??? did they come to the Hotel as well?

i sacharliem !

I meet you in the van the day Abraham took us all downtown to go shopping. Glad to here you are doing well. Congratulations on your terrific weight loss.

I'm still taking it a little slow, I returned to work this week, just seem to get tired easily, I've been able to cut my insulin in half wich makes me very happy. My goal is to get off all my diabetic medication, plus some others. Now with my sleeve I struggle getting my meds down, there just isn't enough room down there to take 5 pills at once. I am also down 20 pounds. Doesn't it feel good to get into a smaller pant size?

Hi,

So glad to hear you are doing well and have lost weight, it does feel great!!!! It's been a struggle as my body doesn't like a lot of food but I guess it's just trial and error, no eggs!!! Lol!

Can you crush your meds? I'm so glad we all met, at least you know you are not alone out here, please keep in touch and let me know how you are going!

Great to hear from you

Thanks for the advice!!!
