Hi I've just found out I'm finally on waiting list and should be getting sleeved around October time , I am very nervous I've never had surgery before ,also surgeon wanted me to have bypass because I'm type 2 diabetic but I'm hoping I will still get good results with sleeve ? Any one had sleeve long term have you managed to maintain weight loss and keep diebetics at bay ? And then theres the GERD / acid issues please tell me it doesn't happen to everyone ,also what is the average weight losses with sleevers I'm currently about 17 stone size 18 wondering what I would average out at I know it differs slightly but just a rough idea xx p.s I'm UK and UK buddies about. 😃

Nawww never too old.

At 6 weeks, fiber may not be the best option for you only because you're still healing. Better options to get things moving again: Miralax, Milk of Magnesia, Dulcolax, Smooth Move Tea. Depending on the severity of your problem, you can also try glycerin suppositories or even enemas. Remember to be drinking enough water. The GI tract needs water to remove the wastes from your body.

Cottage cheese, yogurt, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, soups.

I had a sleeve 2 weeks ago and felt the same. Take tour time recovering—you just had major surgery. By day 5 I felt like a “normal person” again. bow that I’m 2 weeks post-op I can tell that my stamina and endurance aren’t where they were. I get tired easily—going grocery shopping and carrying in the bags will leave me tired for a bit. Im usually a person that can’t sit still long and this bothers me—but I have to keep in mind I just had major surgery and will need to take it easy for a bit. Rest up! Your body needs it.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. Many good things coming your way. Expect 60% weight loss with the sleeve. Gerd does not happen to all of us. For many, diabetes is resolved. I'm five years and maintaining. I'm a well-controlled type 1 diabetic

I like Costco rotisserie chicken, I just about shred it into tiny pieces then put cold-pressed olive oil on it with Italian seasonings. My cholesterol is amazingly low the good is high. I try to work at least a teaspoon of olive oil into my meal plan each day. I also like it on my cottage cheese, it makes it taste a bit Italian. My doctor said if he had my Cholesterol readings he would be so very happy. Just a thought.

They say I am going to skip the Psych stuff, and the usual longer diet since my BMI is 36. I will have to meet with a nutritionist and do a 3 day diet before surgery. The gal I talked to said she would talk to the DR. on Wednesday and then get back with me to schedule my surgery. Whoot!

Yes it's depressing and sad how some of them are so delusional "oh I only eat once a day lol" Then they lie.cheat.hide food from family and loved ones.. They repeatedly waste the Drs time.. And their family just continuously sit Back and feed them the junk killing them.. One episode this lady ate probably 6 times a day huge meals every meal takeaway like how do they afford it number 1? The whole car ride to Houston just stuffing their faces with Crap!

I finished eating a (cauliflower crust) slice of pizza and started feeling massive pain in my abdomen. I'd previously had an ulcer and though that it was back and acting up. I popped an anti-acid but the pain kept getting worse. I was standing over the toilet spitting up bile when I noticed a little blood mixed in. That's when I called emergency services and told them I needed to get to the ER asap. I got to the ER a little after midnight and had emergency surgery about 6 hours later. Those were the 6 longest and painful hours of my life.
