Hey All,
I am going to post updates on my Facebook page. My name is Sannah Sannah. I never had Facebook until I had the sleeve. My account is dedicated to health, wellness, nutrition and exercise. My Facebook is true to my experience. Today has been a tough day and you'll see that on my Facebook page.
Please add me if you like. I would love to follow your success
Best, Sannah

Good:
My marriage is stronger than ever.
I learned my strength.
My support system is out of this world!
I have lost weight.
I have found hidden greatness in everyone.
I can move better in my body.
I am becoming a better me!
Each day of my life is richer.
I am leading by example for those around me.
Exercising is much easier and enjoyable.
Neutral:
I eat meat, former vegetarian.
I vomit if I consume high sugar.
I vomit if I consume high fat.
Bad:
Leaks suck!!
food is disgusting.
I don't know what I like or what to eat.
Complications of the leak are long and drawn out.
My journey has been rough.
Esophageal spasm.
I feel more disgusted than ever with my body.
I can't say if I would do it again. I relish in the greatest that has come from this. I value the changes I have made and am making. But the wounds of complications are still fresh.
Everyone says give it a year or two and you'll feel better about this decision. Until then I feel a deep sense of regret, but try to remain focused on all the good. Somedays it's hard to ignore the bad stuff though!! I do go to counseling. I am almost standing strongly on my own two feet again.
I read that so many of you would so this again in a heart beat. I hope to join you in this thought process one day!!

I also wanted to say that I am generally doing better! :-)
I can manage MUCH better since I am able to receive nutrition!!
How are you all doing?

Hello All!!
I am very sorry that you have awaited a post. I never received regular message alerting me. Matter of fact I sign in periodically and under "participated" nothing Is showing as new. Odd. So sorry. A gal alerted me on Facebook today. I feel miserable.
I never intentionally meant to leave you hanging. Please accept my apology! So sorry!!
I am alive and still working on eating. Somedays I can eat with no troubles and others one bite and I am sick. I generally have no desire for food. Good news is I have not been taking 24-48 hour breaks from food and Water. I have to take medication twice a day to eat, otherwise consuming is not an option. Some days the medicine works and others it doesn't.
Stones are still tumbling around. They are very very painful. I am determined to ride these out alone. I will seek medical intervention if needed, so far I am managing. I no longer strain as my stones are large enough to see.
I am still struggling with vomiting. It slowed down for a while, but has started back up again. This has had consequences of its own.
I had my Vitamin levels checked and my b is non existent. I am having neurological problems from this. I am struggling to get and keep the vit b pills down. So Friday I get a Vit B in an IV. This loss is from vomiting.
This Friday I am having am endoscope to look at my sleeve and make sure all is well. Hopefully all is normal. Sounds like the dr believes I have gastritis and she says this would most likely last a year. So I am about half way done with living in crazy town!!!
Today is five months post op for me. It feels like a long time!!
I have gotten rid of 80lbs
Size 26 to a 16
I move more freely
I workout regularly
I have been stalled for two months.
I love you all!! Thanks for following me!!
I will check back soon and not rely on what Vst is telling me.
Hugs & Loves!!
Sannah

Lol!! Your son is a riot!!!
I bet it smells good, but lame!!!!
Well perhaps your son should take up cooking since you don't like it!!!!
I am with you!! Cooking sucks!!!! Ugh... Does your hubby cook?!

I heard this can happen.
I am replying because the surgeon I go to requires that we go to counseling. In sessions we address triggers and traps that could allow us to eat around our surgery. I go to counseling at regular intervals to workout any psychological links.
Its important to address these psychological issues in advance so they don't harm the success of a sleeve!!

Hello,
I am a leak survivor. I sneezed,coughed and vomited with my leak. The leak I had didn't get larger or anything.
Leaks don't always present with typical symptoms and they sometimes just happen. Mine presented as low dull back ache. You know your body better than anyone. If your body is talking, listen and listen closely!!!
My surgery was smooth. I followed directions to a T! I don't blame my surgeon or myself. For a while I really thought I must have been a bad person in a past life. But I am come to realize that leaks just sometimes happen.
Wishing you the best!!
Sannah

Hi!!
I have a little girl as well. I was told no lifting for 6 weeks as well, but I was told to listen to my body. Surgeon said at 3-4 weeks I could sit on the floor.
My no lifting limits lasted way longer than this because I developed a leak. I followed the rules to a T.
I was also told no bending. No pushing either, which meant no walks with the stroller.
I was hospitalized most of the time. However, I just did what I could with my daughter. I tried to focus on anything and everything I could do with her, rather than what I couldn't do. I sat on the floor with her ASAP and played.
I wish I had more to share. I know it's tough!! Hang in here!! Things will get easier. I had to take advantage of all the help!!
Best,
Sannah
