I had the sleeve, surgery was much easier than I thought it would be. Surprised me how great I felt and how soon.

I'm 34 and 5'7. I am starting to see loose skin and I don't think any amount of working out will help it....but honestly, it doesn"t bother me at all, I've learned quite a while ago to love my body , whatever it may look like.

I do work out. I started late, did mostly just walking for the first 3 months. At about 4 months post op I started the gym and hated it. Sooo instead of attempting to drag myself to something I hated, I found things I like instead. I tried a fitness class and I loved it. So I've been doing about 4 to 5 one hour classes a week (anything from Zumba, Yoga, Pilates, Spin, weight class, kickboxing...)

The key for me was finding things I like doing.

I'm 5'7 and I don't really have a goal weight other than wanting to be at a healthy BMI. That would bring me to 159, so I guess that is my goal and once I reach it, I may reassess.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
