So happy with weightloss but exhausted
sidvicious replied to Sandyyy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It's considered "elective cosmetic surgery" when you're not quite at the approved weight/bmi when you are SELF PAY. -

December Surgery dates???
sidvicious replied to Kimmerz23's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
if you want to capitalize on all your pain and suffering - don't do the diluted apple juice... only do zero calorie drinks.. then you won't have to post in a few weeks about how your weight loss is slow. -
With the lap band, if my sips got a bit too big, I would feel restriction. 2 weeks out since surgery and I can take large gulps ( not intentionally) and no restriction. Sleevers? Do you feel restriction when drinking mindlessly?

Hurts to drink water
sidvicious replied to mediocreoblongata's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
totally normal take smaller sips more frequently get used to being uncomfortable -
Please don't ever lose hope.

Get a portable toilet. Get the surgery/ drink the requirements.... the weight will come off then you won't hurt to walk. you can change your life
-
Are we suppose to feel restriction?
-
Actually, you might be luckier... The restriction acts as a reminder for us to sip/ take small bites/ etc... it is a great tool

1.5 years out & still throwing up?
sidvicious replied to SparklyInNOut's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Stress, which you sound like you have an abundance of, can trigger an inflammatory response. That in conjunction with a carb heavy diet (especially for a carb addict) will make the inflammation even worse. Maybe time to look at the control center... your brain. Give it rest (for survival) , pray or meditate, seek out a group like OA for support. -
Banded in 2012 lost 75 lbs but starting gaining in 2016. Just had sleeve on 12/2/19 down 21 lbs. have come to accept that i am a carb/sugar addict and if i don't come to terms with the addiction than i will ultimately be in same boat.

The Journey Continues, OR, Third Time's the Charm
sidvicious replied to Machalo's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I hope this book I finally picked up and it's principles work for me. It's called The 12 Steps and 12 Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous. I am doing the head work before my second WLS and maybe it could help you too? -
Same surgery date!!! I started my liquid 3 days ago just to make sure no issues at surgery.. Will be following you.

December Surgery dates???
sidvicious replied to Kimmerz23's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm scheduled for December 2nd for band to sleeve. -
I'll be having surgery on 12/2 - band to sleeve, by the same doctor who did the band 7 years ago. It's done as an outpatient and I will be staying at a hotel as I am traveling from out of state. Is it completely insane to think I will be able to be a passenger in a car for 8 hours to go home on day 3? Doc says yes.

Finally got my surgery date... when did you cut things out?
sidvicious replied to MeowAMR's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am totally confused... if you all are able to cut these items out 6-8 months prior to surgery, why do you need surgery at all? -
Here... Just had my unfilled this week due to severe esophagus issues. Pretty miserable.
