This question is for sleevers that was 230 to 240 pre-sleeve
Ms. E replied to Weightbgone's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was 240 pre-op; I was sleeved on 01/17/11 and have lost 51LBS so far. I can't believe it!!! Back pain gone, plantar fasciitis gone and knee pain gone. I have emptied out my closet and got rid of all the 18-20 size clothing I had. Already had to go shopping for size 16 that I am wearing now and I have bought some size 14 that I found at great deals because I know it coming. Good Luck with your weight loss.. -
What is slider food?

I need to find a food Journal online that I can input the amounts of food I eat. The ones I've been finding all tell me the caloric value of the amount of food they think I am eating, a cup of this is woth...or a cup of that... How about 1/4 cup??? How many calories in that???

Denied UHC!! ***in tears***
Ms. E replied to sweetiepie01's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am so sorry, we have United also and they approved me but not my husband, he as you had a BMI of 39 in 2007. Now things have changed for us, in 2008 my husband broke his foot, he has since had 3 surgeries on the same foot, not to mention a very bad knee therefore he cannot exercise and even walking is painful. He needs this surgery to save his life and they denied him. I was also crushed. He has gained over 80 pounds in these past years. We tried disputing it to no avail. We are thinking about either self pay or waiting until open enrollment comes around and changing to Aetna. They only go back 2 years for BMI history. Good Luck and hang in there.....where there is a will there is a way. -
Since my surgery I cannot stand to drink any kind of Crystal Light or flavored water, I tried Isopure Apple Mellon and I had acid reflux in all day, I have to take Pepcid AC a day sometimes two times a day to be able to eat and get my water in. All I can drink is milk and plain water. Does this ever go away?

5 weeks post-op and I've lost 40Lbs!!! I LOVE my sleeve. 1) Being constipated all the time stinks. Milk of Magnesia Stinks no matter what flavor you buy. 2) I have to remember to eat slow and to not take big bites. 3) Before surgery y used to walk one block and my feet would go numb and my knees would hurt, now I walk 2 to 3 miles a day with NO pain. Unbeleivable. 4) Feeling so good and not having any pain makes me feel just like the Ever Ready Bunny. But the best feeling is realizing that when I was big I felt invisible, now that I am smaller I feel invincible.

Who Was Your Gastric Sleeve Surgeon
Ms. E replied to boredswfl's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I used Dr. David Kim.from Colleyville, Texas and had surgery at Trophy Club Medical. Dr. Kim is great and I highly recommend him. His staff and facilities are wonderful and I feel I was not only well informed but prepared. I was so happy with the whole experience that my husband has also become Dr. Kim's patient and will be sleeved soon. -

Hospital stay....Is one night stay enough??
Ms. E replied to mcast's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
It really depends on each person, I had lots of gas and pain. I did walk every hour or so and it did help but the doctor decided it was best for me to stay a couple of nights. I stayed 3 nights in the hospital and that was OK by me. -
You look great!!! I love seeing how the slothes we used to wear now fit loose. -
I stat mushies tomorrow!!! but tonight for dinner I decided to have 2 bites of mashed potatoes and ground beef. It is now 4 hours later and I am still paying for it!!!

Ms. E replied to DragonFlyFree's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
