Two (2) weeks post-op today...

Two weeks ago today I underwent surgery for the Roux-en-Y procedure...though today, judging from the outside, one would never know it...for all intents and purposes, I walk and am as active as I was prior to surgery...

Granted, my activity isn't as strenuous as it might otherwise be, but the only ones who would really notice that are my wife and me...

The recovery has been largely uneventful and for that I am most grateful...just waiting for the weight to begin to come off...I'll not weigh in again for me until Sunday morning, then we'll see if it has started...

No longer waiting for my real life to begin...

Dont worry the weight will come off soon:)congrats to you and good luck on this journey:)

Dan,

i am almost 8 years post op....never have regretted my decision...even with a few minor bumps in the road.

good luck, take care of yourself and follow you guidelines.

congrats on being brave enough to make a change!

Thanks for posting this.  I am having surgery in a few hours.  Hearing that you're doing as well as you are only two weeks out is very encouraging.

Glad that I could be of some help!!

 Your doing awesome! 

 i had my surgery on the 9th and weighed in at 206, then tuesday when i went home i was at 210, its been 9 days since my surgery and i am at 198 and have been for the last 3 days, i was feeling the same way. i too have had a wonderful recovery, no one can even tell i had anything done. i too will stop weighing myself until monday when i go meet my doctor.

 Congratulations!! I saw this a few days ago and thought it might be appropriate. :)  Keep on keepin' on!  

(...Not like you can 'quit' WLS anyway, but still.  Hehe. It'll come off, and you'll feel like a new man!)

 

Thanks, Charlie C!!
