WOULD U DO IT AGAIN?



Recommended Posts

I'm one month out and would definitely do it again.

How long did it take you to loose weight gain from hospital, and when did soreness go away, I'm 3 days out!

Yes I would do it again. Surgery 10/08/2012, no pain, no gas, no nausea! So far I have lost 66 lbs with much more to lose.

Wish I had done it 30 years ago! Aligning what my head wants to eat with what my stomach holds has been the hardest part. 4 months out, 62 lbs gone! Its not a magic fix, but the quick weight loss is an incentive to continue and the restriction keeps you in check.

I had no significant problems with or after surgery.

I read all ur stories and i get soo pumped and excited and i want to do it !!! And then all my what if kicks in and i panic and say yo myself " u don't need it i loose weight " then another 2-3 months pass by and I'm worst

My surgery is scheduled for 1/18. One of the things that really helped me was watching propel talk about their experiences on YouTube. Just do a search for vertical sleeve and ou should get a ton of results. It's so amazing o watch someone's first video and then their most recent. The transformation is amazing. One good one is verticalsleevereviews. Endobariatric is dr. Alvarez's channel and there are a ton of testimonials and before and afters. You can do this!

If u could go back in time would u have your surgery?????

What are the hardest things you went though ????

Heck ya I'd do it again!!! Without hesitation... I had a great post op- no complications whatsoever! Up and walking for distance 3 days after surgery. I'm just shy of 4 months of post op and I'm down 72lbs! I have gotten the self confidence to take fitness classes ( yoga Pilates kickboxing, etc) and I'm going scuba diving in Mexico at the end of the month. I sleep better and sex with my husband is amazing!

The hardest thing is staying dedicated but even that hasn't been terrible. If I need something sweet I have a bite of something sweet. I've always been a savory person so I like eating all the Protein.< /p>

Honestly - I'm thankful everyday for this new lease on life!

Best of luck in your journey

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
