Something More than my Stomach was taken out

I am so happy to hear this positive post because I suffer from extreme feeling of being tires and always wanting to sleep, I even fall asleep behind the wheel enough that I Do not like to drive anywhere further than 45 min away. I hope that when I loose weight and start to exercise that this will stop. I want energy at 33 and for the last eight years or so I do not have it. I want to feel like you congrats!

OMGosh...I know exactly what you mean!!!!  I was sleeved on the 13th of October, and as of 3 days ago, I started feeling super human.  Even before your post I was thinking about it and realizing that my energy level is through the roof.  I am thrilled.  I've been tired for about 15 years.  I swear I feel like I'm 20 years old and I'm 47.

Rock on!  I love my sleeve!!!!!!!!

How wonderful it was to read your success story.  I am in the middle of the seemingly endless insurance run-around and I doubt I will get my surgery before the middle of next year.  I have been jumping through hoops for 8 months now and figure they will drag me on another 6 or 8.  I read these forums faithfully and have gone through so many emotions.  I am so happy to read your success story.  Good luck to you for the rest of your journey.  You have lifted my spirits.  Thank you.

glad you are having such a joyous recovery. for me the first 5 weeks were really hard. (not that i regret my decision).

i like your avatar.

enjoy...

I am almost 4 weeks out and I too feel the energy.  Since about day 6 I have been wide awake in the mornings, where I used to lay there and dread getting up.  I noticed the difference the day it happened. The sleeve is such a valuable tool and it will even plan a song for you after you eat.  LOL

You described it perfectly...that is how I feel too.  I'm amazed at this feeling.  Please Lord let this feeling continue...

Yes, this feeling is so addicting, I never want to lose it! I must say that it has not been an easy road for me to be in this place at all. From my signature, you can see I had the lapband for 7 years. Then my revision surgery went wrong last year, I woke up from surgery and was so sad and dissapointed. My doc then recommended the Sleeve. I had never heard of it. Now I realize that everything happens for a reason. I was not meant to have the RNY. The band did not like me. The sleeve loves me! Finally something good happened and it's been very easy. I Thank God. I had so many problems, not just for months, but for YEARS! Every surgery had complications, infections, non-healing wounds. Now it's my time!! I'm sooo glad I never gave up. I could have many, many times. I did not want to give up on myself. Diets always failed me and I felt like I'd never gain any ground. I tried them all. Several times. I just cannot express how happy I am now to be sitting here, knowing I have my sleeve. I feel so blessed. Every day is more amazing than the last. I am so thankful for the docs who invented the sleeve- I just want to kiss them!! LOL! Happy Halloween!!
