I had my surgery 5/16/13. I also ended up having a hernia repair unexpected. Who knew! I took pain meds for 4 days. Took off work for 10 days. I feel great. No problems so far. I can't imagine something popping up all of a sudden. I have lost 29 pounds So far. I have absolutely no regrets what's so ever.

It depends on how you define a problem. Sure, I have slimed a lot, got acid reflux a couple times and thrown up a few times. But are these really problems? No!!! They are blips on the radar compared with radiant health, great strength and athletic ability the comes from living a life full of drive and passion as a post op. There is no goal that is too large. Consider the problems pre op I had before with morbid obesity: high blood pressure, prediabetic, mental issues, constant battle with food, lack of exercise, no self confidence and the list goes on and on. I have been problem free for the most part. I wish the best and quick recovery for those dealing with problems like leak, gall bladder issues, bad acid reflux and so on.

I'm 6 months out and 145 lbs down. I've had a little Constipation -- otherwise, I haven't had any issues and I definitely have no regret (other than I wish I hadn't waited so long).

I am guessing you mean zero surgical complications? I didn't have anything. Everyone has pain and things like that though. I am 6 months out right now, I haven't even thrown up due to my surgery. I did once because of a Migraine but that was it.

3 plus months out no problems at all. 1 bout of nausea early on brought my own cause. 54 pounds down. I don't tolerate greasy or sugary foods. That works out for me cause i don't need those anyhow. I have not been sick . I just sweat from sugar , i take it as reminder, no sugar and a caution! I got in this to eat healthy anyhow. From a 22/24 to a 14 I'm happy.

No Regrets!

6 mo out, surgery was a breeze....easiest surgery I've ever had! My only "problem" ( if you want to call it that) is occasional constipation...but I can now tell when I'm slowing down & take something, so that's an easy fix! Absolutely NO regrets, best thing I've ever done for myself!

Can't say I have had any issues (thank god). I haven't even thrown up either. Down 64 pounds in 3 months. Had a pretty easy recovery. Only took the pain meds for a couple days post op to knock me out to sleep.< /p>

My surgery was May 9th and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. Almost no pain at all from the incisions, no vomiting or other digestive issues. I haven't had trouble with any particular foods either. At the hospital on the second day they only kept giving me apple juice which made me feel a bit sick to my stomach, but when I switched over to broth that problem resolved itself. That was the most trouble I've had. I have lost 25 lbs since the day of surgery so I am currently averaging 4 lbs lost per week. I'm very happy I had the surgery!

Waving hands here! I had gas that's it! I got nauseated twice. Once in the hospital the day of and here at home from too much liquid at once. Since, I feel great! I can eat w/o becoming nauseated and I have a good amount of restriction. I love my sleeve! I was banded before and maybe that's why? I have NO regrets except not getting sleeved sooner!!!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
