Men that had sleeve



Recommended Posts

I had sleeve 10 days ago and doing great. My husband is having sleeve today doctor said men have harder time. Just wondering if any men have any problems?

Not at all...4 weeks today and down 30 lbs since surgery. Cravings are limited and are easily silenced by Protein. If he's talking about vigor of workouts or lifting...then maybe, especially in the early going, where those activities are generally off-limits. But even that should resolve quickly. I am starting to worry about muscle loss, but will be going back to the Iron today to put an end to that.

My husband and I were both sleeved last year on September 11. We both had an incredibly easy time of it. He has had a very slight bit of acid reflux that he didn't have before, but other than that, it's been wonderful.

Everyone is the same in that we are all different. Maybe he was telling you that as sort of a joke, men are well known for being medical wimps ;-)

Thanks everyone .. I talked to doctor he said he meant men's organs larger and makes surgery little more difficult .

He is doing well waiting on a room.

Praise to God I've had 0 nausea. Having trouble getting all Water & Protein in. But doing great for 10 days out

I was sleeved on 9/1 and just got out of the hospital today. So far so good. Had some discomfort from gas, but otherwise things went pretty smoothly. Its unbelievable how little Fluid it takes to feel full.

      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.

      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!!
