I am new to this forum and this is my first post! I had sleeve surgery on April 28, 2015 by Kaiser Permanente in Fremont, CA, so it's been 3 weeks and 4 days today. I was given a weight loss goal of 20 pounds on January 15th in order to receive a surgery date. On that date I weighed 247. I got down to 225 the day of my surgery and today weigh 208 - a loss of 17 pounds since the day of my surgery. I was hoping to have been down by 20 pounds at this 3 week mark, however am still thrilled with a 17 pound loss! My only complaints thus far have been that I have suffered from constipation and have swollen ankles and cold feet. Anyone else experiencing any or all of these symptoms?

So happy to be here! Attached is a picture of my daughter and I (I am in green) taken two weeks post surgery.

Hello there, I was just sleeved on Tuesday, and left the hospital with swollen ankles/legs, they said to give it time, also been very cold. I'm still on the clear liquids so just waiting for the next few weeks. Good luck to you.

I am being "sleeved" by Dr. Chu at Fremont Kaiser on Tuesday, July 28. I was originally with Dr. Le in South San Francisco, but that did NOT work out. I was able to transfer to Fremont and I could not be HAPPIER. I've lost 71 lbs - on my own since March 2014. Dr. Chu has been so supportive. I am so excited!

How was your overall hospital stay?

May I ask what went wrong with Dr. Le? My normal doctor is on leave at the time and I am honestly not a fan AT ALL!!!! I also have been reading that many others have had issues with his "attitude" per say... TIA
