Hello

I'm Spicey from New Jersey sleeved June 25 2012 in Livingston, Nj Dr. Paragi. I went in Monday morning, after 8 months of pre-op appts. and clearances only losing a few lbs, but after no surgery complications I went

home Tuesday evening once Dr. Paragi cleared me with.instructions. 6 1/2 months later 79 lbs down I guess its good 3 clothes sizes down but not.getting enough support, energy, excersize, and I feel tired all the time!... I hear so many different things from people but it has still has been a good experience, lifelong changes I'm still adjusting to. I had a few issues going.into surgery with my asthma, bronchitis, hypothyriodism, and extreme obesity and they are better but no dramatic changes. I was blessed to not have any other health issues at this time.

Thank you for responding , advice, encouragement and assurance!!!! It is greatly appreciated. I feel alone and my family coworkers doctors expect miracles and I have to keep my head held high at all times to maintain my composure. I am happy with my results but I'll try to workout harder and longer also take my vitamins.....thanks again

      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! 😞
