My surgeon thought that may be the issue but its something the surgeon did. I did have muscle weakness and problems getting up and down stairs but its getting better. I am very good with getting my protein in and my Vitamins. Its from a mistake that happened during my gallbladder surgery

First I want to thank you all for reading and the comments. I want to answer a few questions...when my gallbladder stopped working it started as a postnasal sinus drip along with really bad reflux and the foamies. I couldn't poop either and then I couldn't keep anything down for longer than 2 minutes. Now it may be different for others. I had my blood work done several times and my b12 is actually pretty good and my surgeon wanted to make sure that it wasn't a defeciency. So I'm good on the vitamins. I am having an MRI of my back since I had surgery on it in 2005. I also have to have a EMG done because they think a nerve was cut and there may be some nerve damage. As a matter of fact when I went to my follow up appt and asked him why I was numb, he said it was probably a nerve. When I first tried to get a MRI they said I had a clamp still in me and that the MRI machine would pull it out but my neurologists got my surgical report and it said I didn't so we are dealing with a major cover up. But I will continue to move on and stay POSITIVE! Thank you all again:) Jessica

I was sleeved on December 8, 2011 and I must say it has been rocky. Not even 8 weeks after my gallbladder had to come out. I thought I was ok until I started having trouble walking and my stomach, legs,and thighs went completly numb. My lady parts are numb as well as my breast so I had to get a attorney because they think something went wrong during the surgery. But, on a POSITIVE note I came from 412 to 311 in less tha 6 months. I'm praying that my walking goes back to 100% so I can finally hi8t the gym. I have a MRI scheduled fot Monday so we can figure out what this guy did..thanks for reading:)

I have never heard of that but I can't wait to eat them again...

I know the waiting sucks big time but it will go by super fast on that pre-op diet lol!! The days flew by for me and before you know it you will be approved:)

Congrats!! December Sleevers ROCK!!!!!

I have cheated......I boil eggs and ate them the first night of my liquid diet. That carnation instant breakfast is the devil.....I'm so done with that mess

You know I had those same feelings and up until they tell you that you are approved that feeling just stays with you. Just know that God is in control and I will say a special prayer for your speedy approval!

Thank you and Congrats to you as well!

Hey there YT buddy....Congrats again!

Congrats on your date!! We are all going to need the advice and the support so I'm glad to find you all as well!

I was so happy to find this site after they changed my surgery and now I'm hooked lol! My husband is excited but worried at the same time and I just keep telling him that GOD is in control. Now me on the other hand, I'm super excited.....

Thank you! I'm praying that all goes well and my recovery is safe a speedy

Thank you!

I'm glad to know that you are well, my grandfather was a diabetic and his kidneys were severely damaged from years of uncontrolled blood pressure. I'm sure that after surgery your hbp issues will be resolved...

I'm so sorry to hear that, so how have you been? You are right, it will be so worth it in the end and we all can finally get our lives on track.....30 seems like a thing of the past for me since I turned 32 lol!! And you are gonna look AWESOME!!

I hated that 6 month stuff and my PCP was so off....I had to show him how to do everything. I wish I had a 200lb goal but I have 180 set in my head and I have to see my surgeon on Thursday so I need to ask her if she has a goal she wants me to meet. I will be sending POSITIVE prayers & vibes your way!!

Thanks for the welcome!! I know it will be a long road but I have already invested over 10 years to it so the rest should be a breeze :biggrin5:

Thank you!!!I'm praying that I can hit goal since I have over 200lbs to lose...but I know God got me. You are still young and when I first got married I wanted kids ASAP now I'm just loving the time me and my husband have to spend together....I'm 32 so if I never have them I will be cool and I will just get a cute puppy lol!!

Hey everybody!!! I'm scheduled to be sleeved on December 8 and I'm starting to get nervous. I have researched having WLS for 10 years and finally my insurance pays for my choice. I'm diabetic( 11years), high blood pressure, high cholesterol, PCOS and all that good stuff that comes along with "the sugar". I'm finally getting the tool that is going to help me to achieve better health. I have been married for almost 12 years and I would love to have kids before I turn 35....so I have at least 2 more years to get myself together and hit my goal weight.

I was all set to have the RNY and about a month ago Medicaid decided to start paying for the sleeve and my surgeon discussed having VSG instead and from what I hear from a few people Medicaid is pretty good about paying. I'm in Alabama so I'm not sure about any other states.
