Hi beldary, welcome to the forum. I had the sleeve on Feb. 10th. Im now 6 weeks out and feeling fabulous. I pretty much had a text book case but am very aware of all that could have gone wrong. I'll be happy to answer any questions about the sleeve and my journey. I am 58, I live in Mississippi and I'm just happy to be here. :-)

Hi Sasha, so how are you doing since surgery? You are 2 weeks out now? Is it getting a little bit easier? each week is always a bit easier than the week before so take it slow and easy. Stick to the plan as it makes it easier on your stomach. Hope all is going well for you and you are starting to feel good now.

I feel really blessed because I feel really good. Never even took pain meds. And I'm a wimp! I'm just starting my third week. Find it a little difficult to get all my Water and Protein in. Weight loss is slowing down, but I hear this is normal. I have no regrets and this has been a very good experience so far. How are you doing?

hi beldary, I would love to be your buddy. I am 52, live in Kansas and am just starting my third week post op. I have lost 36 lbs, most of it prior to surgery. Was on liquid diet for two weeks. I have a long way to go, but thrilled so far.

hi, ndipilato, I would love to be your buddy. Got sleeved April 1, so we are at the same stage and can compare notes. So far I have lost 36 lbs, most before surgery. Only 6 lbs in last two weeks. How are you doing?

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
