1 month post op, UPDATE

Hey all,

Just wanted to share my progress. I am 1 month post op (technically 32 days) I had my surgery with Dr. Garcia at MiDoctor. As of today I have lost 22lbs (forever!) and feel great.

The only issues I still have are minor incision pain (from the biggest one), I can only sip little bits of plain Water (I think I gulp too much air with it and gives me a big air bubble in my chest) and a gurggly stomach every night when I lay in bed. But those are such MINOR things that don’t faze me at all.

I have no trouble getting all my Protein and liquid in daily, and am able to exercise for at least 30mins 6x a week. I got the greatest compliment the other day, I went and got my hair cut (felt like going short after losing this weight) and my stylist (who has known me for years) said I looked great and was "glowing" and wanted to know what I was doing (she thought I was preggo LOL). When I shared my sleeve experience she was super happy and excited to see more progress at my next appointment :)

I've added a pic to show my progress. Here's to a successful 2nd month!

Edit to add: would I do this again? Yup I would. It's not all been sunshine and flowers, but "nothing worth having comes easy" and this is worth having :)

Looking good!! Great progress!! :)

It's already showing very well in your face, and it looks like the waist is starting to trim down, too. Excellent job!

You look really good. Keep up the good work.

I didn't think that 22 lbs would make that much of a change.. you look great..

Amazing progress. I'm excited for you. You look younger and happier... And of course, healthier.
