I'm six weeks post. Life changing, isn't it?

I'm also have a loooonnnngggg vertical incision. No pictures will be posted.

Hope you are feeling and healing well.

How bad was the pain?

I honestly wasn't in a lot of pain. Maybe the first 2-3 days. The constipation from the narcotics was far worse than that. My arms didn't start tingling until the second week.

Congratulations. Would you mind sharing your total weight loss before the PS. I will definitely need PS. I bet worried about it. Thank you

@cbonet- My starting weight was 349- so I lost around 115lbs. I was a self pay and I have no regrets. I expected it to be worst. But just like my sleeve, after 3-4 days, every day got better and better. I was not bedridden or anything. Coughing hurt for the first couple of weeks.

Wow amazing results!!

My sleeve surgery date was 8/31/15- I had my plastics on 8/26/16

@@cslove Awesome results! How tall are you?

Looks amazing. If you don't mind me asking roughly how much was it. I get sleeved on 10/6 and want to start saving for it as I'm sure I'll need it after 1yr
