Hello, everybody, I had my Sleeve Dec 31/14

All went very well I couldn't ask for a better Doctor He was great and his whole staff.

All went as plan. I have done really good cant say it been easy as to getting use to the eating at first

but the hardest was the first month after that all went well .Have follow the Doctors order to the T very closely and eating only what was told.

Been to all my weigh in's and doctors visits.

I started at 353 pounds I have lost 190 pounds in this year

I and so happy with results, I am off all meds within a month and off Cpap machine

I have energy and I fiction good and normal now

No meds for pain at all since my surgery, no joint pain

I love shopping and trying new clothes now

No Regrets in doing this for my selves has improved my quality of life .

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and encouragement. Everything went great. Had my 2 week check up earlier this week and I had a great check up. No hernias! Incisions are healing very nicely!! I am not sure if this is weird but I am so proud and excited to share my surgery incisions. I have lost 20 pounds since surgery Dec15. and still losing. :) I hope everyone else is doing well with their recovery! It's a great way to start the new year!! Happy new year, happy new life!!

I'm so sorry...that must be frustrating.  I'm doing ok.....no hunger, just progressed today from clear liquids to full liquids without a problem.  There's pain at the site of the port placement, but even worse than that is the pain in my shoulder from the gas! I'm moving around fine and sleeping well.  Am planning on going back to work on Monday. Thanks for asking!  Let me know how your surgery goes!

Hi everyone! I am new to the site, and had my RNY on Dec 5; the day before my birthday!

I have done really well so far. Only once have I had an issue, and that was eating about one bite too many of tuna the other day. I learned my lesson!

i am still off work. I go back Jan 5. I am an RN at a long-term care facility on night shift (only RN in charge of 3 LPNs and almost 100 patients). So I took a full month off. 

Hope everyone had a great holiday!
