I had my surgery on 9/8/15.....weighing 197, I'm now 147...greatest thing ever. I have more energy. I'm off all my blood pressure pills. I really feel great. I was in size 16 pants, I bought a pair 9. The pants fit when I left the store but 2 weeks later, the pants were too big... I'm not buying anymore until I reach goal.

I was sleeved on the 8th of September. I find my biggest challenge is getting the water intake. Protein, I really have 2 shakes a day, plus I eat chicken, fish, tuna and plenty of nuts daily.

Hello everyone! I was sleeved on the 8th of September. Sw was 195 and Cw is 178. My goal weight is 130-140

Thank you debbieduck4

My surgery was done on the 8th. I'm do uncomfortable now I'm dealing with constipation. I'm still not getting all my fluids in. The protein have me feeling do full. I just seen the doctor today. He cleared me to exercise... Hope that makes me feel better. I pray that you feel better as well.

I truly understand where you coming from. I had a low BMI at surgery I was weighing in at 193 and I'm 5"2. At the beginning o really thought I made a huge mistake but as I was healing I realized that this was one of the best decision I have made, my entire life. I was like you.... I've been fighting to lose weight since I turned 21 years old. I have three kids and I'm 38 now. I also had many health problems to deal with such as hbp, sleep apnea, Borderline diabetes, high cholesterol, fatty liver, Low iron, heart palpitations all the time. I chose to live and look good while I'm doing it. I had my surgery on the 8th of September. I now weigh 175...which is really good.... I say go for it and do what makes you happy.

I was sleeved on 9/8. I had hernia surgery as well. Today I'm feeling better than I felt in a while. I'm curently 175 and before surgery I was 197.I haven't loss any weight since I have come home from hospital. I had many complications and still have a few like.... Getting all my fluids in and including protein.I can't poop at all. I have my 4week check up on tomorrow. I am so ready to exercise. I fight everyday for energy and I honestly think it will be better once I can exercise. Any suggestions on how to get all the fluids done daily and something that makes you poop but gentle on the belly?

I'm sorry you're regretting the sleeve. I had my issues at the beginning. Everyone said it will get better and its actually gotten better..... Don't give up

Hello everyone! I had my surgery 9/8. I am 37 years old. I went in surgery weighing 197 as of today. I weigh 175 and I'm loving my body. I just want to know how do you keep your rear end from vanishing?

OK I had my surgery on the 8th of September. I went in on Tuesday morning and went home that Friday. I had hernia surgery at the same time. I also had problems urinating after surgery. I went in weighing 195lbs. Most of all the nurses and doctors said I was too little for the surgery. I have dealt with health problems such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fatty liver, sleep apnea, I had to lose weight in order to be healthy. I was taking over 9 daily pills. My goal is to become healthy and lose weight at the same time. I want to wish you gull speedy recovery. Everyday gets better. I'm telling you that from experience.

yes it's hard to get all the fluids plus the protein. I was weak and tired. I started taking b12 and vitamins And immediately started feeling better.

Praying for everyone

Learning how to eat has been s challenge but each day it gets better

I'm in Houston Texas.... I would love to talk
