I'm doing pretty good, I started at 467 at surgery and currently at 316 13 months out. Things are a lot easier now from just being able to walk longer distances to bending over and not killing myself. I'd say that keeping up on your Water is something you really want to keep an eye on. I was getting sick and feeling nauseated all the time and then figured it was because of water. Once I kept up on my water those symptoms went away. Oh and also for the Constipation thing. lol lots of water needed! other than those issues I had a good recovery. I have learned what foods I can eat now without an issue.

I am also from Las Vegas. Had surgery with Dr. Lyass on 3/4. I am supposed to see a support group monthly but they didn't give me any suggestions for groups that meet. Anyone find a group?

@@farooforever I have yet to find a group I can attend since they are usually on Tuesdays through Dr. Atkinson's office. There is this place that has a support group, you may want to try. https://blossombariatricsportal.pattrax.com/Seminar

Hello all, I had the sleeve on March 2. Doing surprisingly well. Tolerating liquid diet fine, however, getting nervous about the journey ahead. Anyone else in the Vegas area?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
