SURGERY TOMORROW!!!

Yes Im home now. It has been about  days. I feel great! I am down about 20 lbs already. I concentrate on fluid intake and walking. I was only in the hospital about 24 hours. The nurses and docs said I am doing great. It still feels a little weird in my stomach, but no pain at all. I am really looking forward to getting in the gym again. Thanks for all your support and information. You guys know, how important the info shared is, so I don't have to stress it. Everyone's body is different, but there are some simular experiences that we all can share with each other.

You are on your way.  This surgery works really well on large men.  That 20 lb loss is real - it means you should end up with a large loss when all is said and done a year from now.

Congratulations!

 

Good luck with your surgery may God see you through i have my surgery on Dec 04, 2013 looking forward to it.

Well i pray your surgery went well i have a date of Dec 4th (RNY) I'm currently 320 my goal is 220-240. I' looking forward to the life change. Like you i will be looking all the positive feed back

I had the sleeve but I will share one bit of advice. Make sure you are getting plenty of fiber. You will find going to the bathroom can very rough in the beggining. I was in immense pain and had to do some not fun stuff to go. I started taking fiber supplements and then putting ground flax seed in my shakes. That made a difference.

How have the first few weeks gone for you?  I literally just got home from the hospital (surgery was Tuesday) and I'm not feeling so well but I'm following every piece of advice and rules from the DR to the T.

I am doing great. Make sure you hydrate. drink water slowly, almost as methodical as you breathe. Walk as often as possible but not foe very long. Take gas ex. What kind of problems are you having?
