From Pre-op until now I have lost 35 lbs. That was the purpose of the surgery. I gained a pound from yesterday, but...whatever. Other than knowing that weight is permanently gone, I wouldn't have the surgery, if I could redo things. I am still, just over a month later, so exhausted and weak I am still recuperating at my daughters place...I can drive and go to the store, but if I am doing something like that for an hour, then I have no energy or strength for the rest of the day. They were away for a weekend so I did some laundry each day...not a hard job, but it took me 2 days to not be exhausted. I always heal quickly, and I guess surgery wise, I have healed well, but the exhaustion and weakness has been totally unexpected and not appreciated. I wouldn't particularly recommend the surgery. no, I don't want to include pictures
