Sorry they are sideways. Not sure how to rotate them.

You look amazing! I'm very interested in this surgery but worried about the pain since I live alone. About how long would you say it was until you could get around on your own? How is the pain now? Also how long did you plan to take off of work? Thanks so much for the info & pictures. Definitely an inspiration for me!

The pain wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. I left the hospital with 28 percocet and still have 6-7 left. I could get around ok by myself but Im a single mom so it was hard doing stuff for my son. Pain in minimal now. I took a week off of work cuz that's all the paid time off i had since i haven't been at my job long. I have a desk job and sit at a computer for 8 hrs so i was fine going back that soon. I would totally do it over again for the results that i got. Not having my skin slap against my thighs is totally worth it.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
