Any july surgery dates?



Recommended Posts

Hi There :) Because my insurance requires 6 months of classes before surgery, I'm expecting to be sleeved sometime in July as well! Tomorrow is my second of the six classes. I'm so excited! I'm doing my best to use this time to prepare and start making the changes that will be part of my new life. I've cut out soda, bring my Breakfast and lunch to work (it helps that I work at the same hospital as my surgeon, and every time I'd run into him in the cafe I felt guilty and knew i wasn't putting in the work I need to, lol). I've cut back on my coffee, and will be transitioning to Decaf next. I've lost a few pounds just making these changes, which makes me feel great. I'm committed to the life I want to have after surgery! Have you ever watched "My 600 Lb Life" on TLC, I think it is?? Some are success stores, but some are really eye opening to how serious the docs are about surgery being a tool. The people who weren't prepared to really put in the work and make changes are not successful. Some have even managed to GAIN weight after surgery! I do not want to be that person! Anyway, happy to see another July sleever on here! I'm sure there are many more of us, and hopefully we can all support each other. :)

Yes I am starting month two of my 6 month physician supervised program. I lost 5 lbs in the first month so I feel good! I cut out soda the first of January. I don't do coffee but I do drink tea. Going to start using a sugar substitute. My surgeon is the best!! I meet with the dietician on Monday. So excited to hear her suggestions and insight. Have started doing research into foods and things for right after surgery. Got a few samples from Bariatric Choice.

I'm lurking on both the June and July boards. I will finish my nutritional counseling late June. So my surgery date will probably be in July. I go for my second visit on Thursday. Now I just need to find a doc.

Without 3,4,5 or more incisions ....only one in your belly button.

      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!

      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!!
