This Friday will be my 4 week sleeve-aversary...Can it be that i actually feel normal? Every day has been something else, weather its being nauseous, leg pains, stomach pains, dizziness. Today I feel like my old self. It is like night and day between last week and this week.

Every new sleever should know that it does in fact get better!!!

technically speaking for insurance reasons, dr agarwala was my surgeon so I saw him more pre-op. though now I really only see dr corpi (the woman, I think she is internal medicine). I have no complaints except on the actual day of surgery no one came out and told my mom that I had been moved from recovery to a room. she literally waited three hours before she went off on a nurse and found out I had been moved. overall I would say I am very happy with their team. I wish they had support meetings on weekends though because I'm in school and work in the evenings and never have off to go to support group. how about you? you said you had a bad recovery?

Funny mostly preop I met with Dr Ahmad, now I mostly see either Corpi or Agarwala. Everyone seems to be pretty good. Although I called the nurse today, Annamarie? I think...and she never called me back.

I didn't really have a bad recovery. I would say it was generally pretty good. Rough couple of first days and then last week I had some really bad dizzy spells (which Dr Agarwala couldn't really explain) But now that I am on purees I am feeling really pretty good! :)

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
