I am 2 1/2 years out, and lost 80, but over the holidays gained back 10. Told myself I was trying to eat better, but in reality I was not, and therefore, had not lost any of the extra weight. So i then had a long talk with that inner "sabotage voice" and have committed to myself to be honest about what I eat and when. We…

I have had the same issue! I had my surgery in Dec of 2013 and kept off 80 lbs until this last Oct,. when I hurt my ankle and could not walk anymore. Gained 10 lbs from emotional eating and no exercise. I am ok now and have started walking but the pounds are not coming off. I got some advice from another "sleever". It is…

Molly, keep up the great work! I was sleeved on 12/12/13, and it has been going well.I am down 33 lbs, since then, 57 in total. Every stage beings new challenges, but they they be easily overcome if you stick the plan the drs set for you. Cant wait to see your progress! Good luck.

Wannabeslim. Thanks for all the questions, I will try to answer them all for you! It was not painful really at all. I had had my gall bladder out in 1992 with the scope and that was more painful form the gas. I had very little gas issues while in the hospital, but since being home( 5 days now) I have had some gas pains…

Had surgery on 12/12. It went well, i had trouble with the dry mouth on the first day, it kept me from sleeping well, but spent 2 nights in the hospital. That first full ounce of liquid went down hard, but it got better after the 4th one. I am home ,and getting stronger everyday. Getting up and walking is really helping…
