70 Pounds Down 4/12 Months Out.

Hi Everyone,   It has been a very long time since I posted. The last time was 8 days post op. I have been following a sleevers page on facebook but I miss this forum so I'm back to stay.   It has been 4 1/2 months since my surgery. I have lost 70 pounds. It seems the weight loss is slowing down a LOT! It gets frustrating but I realize that I wouldn't have able to lose 70 pounds without this surgery. I'm so glad I did it even though I questioned myself right after.   I am almost off a

Surgery Was 5/21/12. Now 8 Days Post Op

I have intended to blog about my surgery experience before now but haven't felt up to it until today. I am now 8 days post op and things are getting better. I have been having pain in my chest and upper stomach which has been pretty unbearable since surgery. It is getting less day by day, thank the good Lord above. I guess I didn't really know to expect the pain as it has been for me since I hadn't heard most people describe this sort of thing before I had surgery. I will keep praying it w

Last Night Of My Old Life

Well it is my last night of my old life. Surgery at 11:30 in the morning. I can't seem to get things ready. I still haven't even packed my bag yet. I am terrified but know what ever happens is God's will and it is out of my hands at this point.   It is hard to describe how I feel today. I;m apprehensive but so ready to be on the other side. I pray that the pain isn't too bad and my surgery is uneventful. Sometimes I feel like I'm being selfish when I pray for myself. I have a strong Chr

Breaking Down Day 10 Pre Op

Not a good day for me. I actually cheated on my preop diet with two boiled eggs and lettus and this is the second time. Once last week as well. I am so worried that my liver will NOT shrink enough for surgery. That may sound rediculous but I have fatty liver disease and am just so scared that I'm going to be put under and wake up with no sleeve due to not keeping to the pre op diet exactly. I am so tired of these protein shakes, SF popsicles, SF jello, and broth! With that being said the up

Ct Scan Normal! Yay! Pre Op Diet.

Well, I blogged last week about my chest x ray showing something abnormal. Had a CT scan on Friday and results came in this morning, NORMAL! I'm so happy. Thanks to everyone that sent prayers and encouragment. I really appreciate you guys so much!   I started my pre-op diet today. It hasn't been easy so far. I have fourteen days of 4 shakes a day which are chalky and I don't like them very much, SF jello, SF popsicles, broth, and diluted fruit juice for blood sugar levels. I have a sli

Bump In The Road And I'm Worried.... :(

Well, I had a call today from my primary care doctor's office and was told that the bariatric hospital said that something showed on my chest xray. I haven't been feeling well lately and think that I may be coming down with bronchitis or something. I passed the PFT with flying colors. My 02 sats are 98 percent. I'm not sure what could have shown up. I'm really scared. One lung is fine but there is a small something on the other. "SIGH"... I have to have a CT scan on Friday. My surgery is

Pre Op Testing Finished :)

So, I spent ALL day at the hospital doing pre op tesing which consisted of the normal, EKG, LABS, Chest Xray, and PFT. Also, had my meeting with the nutritionist about pre op and post op diet. After nutrition class, went to visit my surgeon for the first time. He is such a busy man!! I couldn't believe how many people that were in the office that had surgery already and/or about to have surgery. I really like Dr. Follwell and feel I made the right decision in choosing him.
