I was taken into op room at 7:30am. Before I knew it I was in my room and it was 11am. It has been a lot better than I expected. I am walking around like normal. At a slower pace of course. Only issue I had was that they had to use a cathiter to drain me after surgery. After that I have been urinating fine. My surgeon is Dr Wayne Weiss. My surgery was at Good Sumaritan Hospital in Suffern, NY. Recommend them both.

Oh mine too! I asked the doctor. He said my stomach was REALLY big but my husband's stomach was HUGE! So then of course I wanted details. How much bigger than average? Why? Had we stretched if? And on and on. And really they had no concrete answers. They said stomach sizes just vary a lot, that we hadn't stretched ours, that's just how it was.

So no real answers just thus view of really big and huge

How are you feeling?

How are you feeling?

I'm feeling great. Just started Protein shakes this morning. Everything is going without a hitch. Also had my first bowl movement this morning as well. All seems according to schedule.

Congrats! I am post op. Only 25 days left. I am a little nervous about the pain after the surgery but I know I will be okay. Thank you for your confidence building post.

Its not bad at all and u will have a new buddy u can hold on ur hand calked the morphine button or what ever pain killer they give u trust me that will be ur new friend

I wonder how much the material they removed weighed? I know, dumb thought, but that's how my mind works.

I don't think it's a dumb thought at all. I'm going to ask my surgeon if he'll take a picture of my stomach so I can see what it looked like when he removed it. I want to see it

unfortunately for me, I am allergic to morphine...which I found out AFTER surgery this last Monday, 8/12. instant headache and heaving. Headache went away after about 12 hours, heaving (3 times total)made for a VERY angry sleeve...but after a couple of days, I have no more pain, and am 8.6 lbs down from Monday am weight before surgery. There have been a couple of moments that I have questioned what I had done, but the have been fleeting. Today was a day they warn you about, Weepy. But, after a lay down, I am much better. It is amazing what our bodies can do!
