I was absolutely Blessed I had Zero issues. The only discomfort I had was from my Haital hernia. The sleeve was perfect and I’m losing every day. From 240 to 222 now. Surgery on March 8th. Just know everyone’s journey is different, everybody body is different. I know people who had pain after surgery and got sick or had dumping syndrome, me however had no issues.

My first couple of days were tough given the issues with trapped wind. But that’s abated. Been walking since Day 2 - slowly increasing the time spent each day. Going for 40 mins today. Have already lost 10.9kg (24 lbs) which is really encouraging.

Wow that's an amazing progress congratulations! I've lost 10 pounds in 6 days and thought that was a lot! Felt my first hunger pang this morning and panicked a little.

I just got my surgery March 22 . The gastric bypass. After surgery it was very painful. But gets better with some time. You will feel like you can drink much at all. Good luck!

Hi all

How's everyone doing? Hard to believe that today's the end of the first two weeks.

I've been so very pleasantly surprised at how well this second week has gone. I'm having the best sleep I've had in years, and still amazed at how little I feel like eating. The hardest thing seems to be ensuring I drink sufficient water!

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!
