I've done it I'm sleeved, Wanted to change my mind ( got scared during the ride to the OR) but I did it. I'm glad its over. I will say I had a good experience minus a breathing issue (low oxygen levels). I did have on night nurse that I wanted to choke she moved so slow and I had to keep telling her my IV was dry. Then she says she cant speak English. It hurt so bad, She does not need to be there alone EVER AGAIN!!! The drain removal was interesting no pain at all. I'm not in any pain but very tired my return to ATL took 13 hours. I'm home now had my1st full night of sleep and feeling ok. I must say Kudos to A Lighter me Janese and the staff were excellent!!!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
