December sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Well I am hoping my fellow Dec 2011 sleevers are having ajoyeous holiday and still rocking those sleeves. Would love to hear some updates!!!

I lost 160# in total now and maintaining at 147-150 range. I had plastic reconstructive surgery for excess skin and feel like a million bucks. My life has become so full and fun, cup runneth over... Yes there are life struggles but everything is easier when you feel good.

This sleeve is the best thing I ever did for myself...well...maybe my college education was the best but this was right up there!!!

It is the best decision I ever made. I didn't reach my goal by I'm happy with where I am. I stay within 3 lbs of my lowest weight since surgery having lost 65 lbs. I still struggle to stay away from the carbs. Having surgery on Thursday to repair 2 hernias. One had been repaired twice before. I was much heavier then so I'm hoping now that I'm thinner the repair will work. While the surgeon is in there he is going to remove the excess skin. My daughter is getting married in May and I will be rocking my mother of the bride dress!

Had my sleeve Dec. 21st 2011. Still not at my goal weight but I'm still working out and eating my Protein. Just got diagnosed with a bad gallbladder so having it taken out in two weeks. Hopefully I can get back to my workouts quickly!!!! Curious if anyone else ended up having to take their gallbladders out post-surgery?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
