8 months out of surgery. 117 pounds lost finally ready for my knee replacement which is why I had the sleeve gastrectomy. The only problem I had during the whole process is acid reflux which I corrected quickly. If I knew about this surgery years ago I would have done it way before it has been life-changing. Please feel free to post any comments or questions I would be happy to answer. Dr. Bertha was wonderful in Somerset County New Jersey

OK, 49lbs down now. Feel great. I had my fisrt regurgitation I'll call it from eating too fast last night. Quick episode and all better. Besides that its been amazing to see the results sooo fast. Im exercising now, trying to loose as much as I can in the first 18 months. Cant wait to be able to have my knee replacement.

Down 35 lbs now. I was able to taste a bit of everything for Christmas except the leave part of grape leaves. Just ate the inside and we made them with turkey instead of lamb. I had 1 Christmas cookie. Its good because you can only fit a few bites in so if you cheat its still a real small amount compared to how I used to eat. Turkey salad with low fat mayo does not agree with me but its only 1 of many things I tried. No regrets best decision I ever made. Ill post pictures later.

Hi Kelly! So glad to hear you are doing so well. You should be proud of your self. I just had surgery last week and I am doing great. I too can't wait to eat something solid. So far I have lost 18lbs. So I can't wait to see what a month will be. I am so excited for you. Keep up the good work.
