Four weeks out and I had something interesting happen. It was 3 am and I had awoken which is normal for me. Everything was fine and I readjust to go back to sleep. Suddenly I feel something come into my throat. It burned like hell and I thought I was going to vomit. It literally choked me and I shot up out of bed. I didn't vomit but I belched a couple times and everything was fine. I worried about what would have happened had I not been awake? Would I have ended up like Cass Elliot?

I have experienced that. I had it without the surgery. I think believe its acid reflux related. It is very scary, i also felt like I was choking. I jumped up out of bed and took a small sip of Water. Scared the geck out of me. Talj to your doctor about it.

Im worried about aging with the sleeve surgery. Ive had a few family members have this done & they aged. They were older when they got it done. Im 37 years old & my BMI is 35, lower end, but Im so nervous to age 10 or 20 years with the surgery, I might not want to get it done. Does Everyone age? Is it a guarntee that you age with the surgery?

I've lost 135lbs since early February. Everyone tells me I look so much younger. A guy at work tells me I look about 12 years old every time I see him.

I'm 42.

I'm a Michigander, I had mine done a Barix in Ypsilanti. Wonderful experience so far!

Dr. Taylor was also my surgeon! How are you doing? Do you know if they still hold their meetings every third Saturday? I would like to attend and I forgot to ask yesterday at my two week post op

I'm doing great. I haven't had any issues what so ever. I'm having no problems meeting my Fluid and Protein goals.

I'm not sure about the monthly meetings. I never thought to ask either.

How are you doing?

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
