Post op. I had my surgery in August at Tufts. My starting weight was 283 and I'm down to 190, but been at a stand still for more than a month.

I feel great! The beginning was a little rough for me. Back in October I had severe pain and nausea, so back in the hospital over the long weekend, they found 3 ulcers. I've always had reflux and Gerd so I thought that was it. The doctor

put me on a stronger dose of protonix and I've been great ever since. I never regret having the surgery!!!

I'm from Mass as well and had my surgery at tufts, Dr. Shah.

Hi how far out are you? And how is your journey going so far?

HW 343 SW 322 4/23/13 goal 170

My surgery was may 1st so almost 4 weeks. I am doing pretty well, still have a jp drain in because of the revision and have nasty drainage that's still coming but I feel great. As of last Wednesday I was down 26lbs (I am adamant about only weighing once a week). No regrets so far. How about everyone else?
