Sleeved on October 8...update



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on October 8. I weigh in once a week...every Monday morning. Anyway, as of this a.m. I've lost 102 pounds. Not too shabby. This procedure has literally enabled me to reclaim my health. Blood work is perfect. No longer have sleep apnea. Actually don't need to guess whether or not I'll fit into a booth at a restaurant. I bought jeans at the Gap the other day. To be able to walk into a normal store and buy something off the rack felt pretty darn good. But, I hadn't realized how expensive things at the Gap had become. $59.95 for jeans? Really? Anyway, not a day goes by the I don't get incredibly nice compliments from friends and acquaintances. I've still got about 35 pounds to go and have no doubt I'll get there. Hope everyone is well.

Congrats, really great to hear your story! I am only 17 days post op, although am losing weight now, I keep thinking that this is going to stop soon and I will never make it to my goal weight. it haunts me but for now I really can not do much since I am still weeks away from eating salads and vegetables to stay full on healthy stuff.

Shopping has been a punishment for years, I can't wait to be able to fit in again in some of those TJ Maxx bargains :)

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
