it’s true! many of us bounce back from surgery, had no complications, lose weight and keep it off.

It seems that new people are not getting a balance look at weight loss surgery. I would love to hear all the positive stories. People with no complications.

Many people gravitate to the negative experiences. It will fuel your surgery anxiety. Your surgeon gave you the statistics and risk facts about weight loss surgery. Read some positives to give yourself perspective.

SIDE NOTE: This site is not an accurate representation. Many are maintaining and have not had a weight gain. They no longer need this site. The people here are, Looking into WLS, in weight loss mode, had a gain, had complications and a handful of vets.

I’m 47..had my WLS 5 months ago. Best decision of my life. Finally free from 30 years of dieting. Feeling wonderful.

No complications here either. Sleeved February 28, 2019. I had day surgery was released within 2 hours of surgery, walked a lot right after. Had no nausea, took minimum pain meds for a few days. I've had no stalls yet. Lost 11 lbs first week and 2 to 5 lbs every week since. Down 63 lbs since the two week pre-op diet. I follow my plan, log my food, take my Vitamins, weigh and measure my food, weigh myself only once a week, drink Water only, get my Protein in most days. One thing I don't do on plan is hit my calorie goal of 600-800 calories, I find that difficult at this point as I can't eat much and don't snack because I'm never hungry. I think I had a great surgeon and support staff. I couldn't be happier with my results.

Don’t know if it is considered a true complication but my only real complaint is constipation. I think I finally have things moving again. Miralax is my new best friend.

Gerber Prunes Work well also

I haven't any problems and am almost 3 months out and losing weight steady and no problems eating either.
