Brisbane September 2016 Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

Hope you are all travelling well on this crazy/amazing journey.

My surgery date is coming up fast, next week 16 September. Feeling a little lonely going through this process - I have my family/friends support but would be great to have conversations/support from people in simillar situations.

I'm on my 3rd week of my 4 week pre-op diet. I'm down 4kg but seem to have plateaued a bit in the last couple days.

Anyhoo, staying optimistic as this going to change my life for the better!

Is anyone else getting sleeved this month?

I got sleeved early March 2016.

I am on the Gold Coast, so if you need some support or have questions, PM me.

All the best for your surgery!

Cheers,

Margo

I had my freak out today, I was determined to call the surgeon on Monday pushing the operation back because life is crazy with 3 kids. But I'll wait till Monday afternoon to see how I still feel and go from there.

Hope today was better for you xx

@@Ebony Rose How are you feeling now? I hope you are still on track?

I'm feeling a whole range of emotions with only 3 days to go but I seem to be equal parts anxiousness and excitement.

I know I can do this though.

I have had the same thoughts.....it has been a tough two weeks on this pre op diet....but then i worry about not doing it and the increased risk during surgery....nothing may happen but I would rather not give any reason for something to happen and thats what motivates me to get through it.

I went through the same feelings in week 2 of pre-op diet and I still had 2 weeks to go! It didn't last though and I kept myself and my mind, busy. It did pass and it will pass for you too. Be strong.

        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!!
