Yes, the recovery has been awesome. Apart from the initial healing process. I felt totally back to normal about 6-8 weeks after surgery. And thank you!! I feel so much better! I edited the post to add some extra before pictures I found after I posted the original. I am so proud of how far I've come. I wish all of you the best and a smooth surgery and recovery! Remember to buy an abdominal binder before surgery though, that helped me soooo much during the healing process.

Oh I thought they gave you one. I had one my last C-section and it was a life

saver. I was able to come home handle the kids, baby, clean and laundry with that thing. The other 3 csections not so much lol. I'm nervous about having nausea more so than the pain. I can handle pain but am a big baby when it comes to nausea and vomiting.

Thank you for sharing the photos. Very inspiring.

Hey Everyone, It's been quite awhile since I started this Thread, and since Ive posted on it. I haven't been active on this site anymore, I had to delete the app to make room for some updates, haha.

Some current stats for me are:

Surgery date July 13th, 2016 Gastric Sleeve with Dr. Mostaedi at Richmond Kaiser

Heaviest weight January 2016 290lbs

Surgery weight July 13th 2016 242.2lbs

Current weight today November 30th 2016 170.1lbs

I'm almost 27yrs old, 5'6 inches.

Started at a size 22-24

Currently in a size 8/M

My shoe size went back down from an 11 to a 10 which is very exciting for me!

I have some loose skin on my tummy, and under my arms, my butt and thighs are also kinda saggy, but I'm working on those now with some kettlebell workouts.

Here are some before and After pics of me.

Ya, I got a new one, since my one from my c-section wasn't firm enough. I will say that my incisions after VSG hurt more than after my cesarean. So maybe get a firm abdominal binder just in case. I was vomiting the entire time I was in the hospital, but when I got home, I only needed to take my anti nausea pills for like 2 days. After that I was good. I did sneeze and cough a lot though. Sooo painful.

Congrats @shaylady08. I enjoy the visit with Dr Z. He explained things a lil more clearly. I'm scheduled for 1/9 and my hubby 12/21. Liz said ''tis the season for cancellations" so she is having me do all my pre-op stuff next week. The pre-op classes are 12/6 and 21 this month. I am going on the 6th so if anything opens up I will move up (as long as it's not too close to the hubs date).

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
