Well just over 9 weeks post op. Went for my blood work yesterday. Boy if I wasn't anemic before I am now after 12 tubes of blood.

Down a total of 80 lbs (53 since opti) Have gone from a size 24/26 to 18.
Haven't been this weight since in my early 20's (47 now).

Except for a little burning in my pouch (taken care of with Prevacid) things have been going really well. No vomiting nothing getting stuck yet. I'm sure my turn will come.

Getting fluidsand food in is a challenge while working but working on it. Just have to plan meals out in advance.

Planning is the best defence, for sure.

Great that you're doing well.
