When i went on leave for my surgery my paperwork stated that I was having surgery. It didn't say what kind. When I returned my return to work slip just said abdominal surgery and no heavy lifting until the end if January. HR never asked what I had done. Now I'm trying g to get aflac to pay me for being out for those 2 weeks. We shall see

I'm no help. I followed what my doctor said to follow. Felt it was for my own safety. Is this for preop?

The one on the left is me prego the other is today. Down almost 70lbs.

Couldn't agree more! Sex post op and now down a total of almost 70lbs has made a HUGE difference in our sex life. While going through the preop steps from end of august until getting sleeved 12/10 I just wasn't into it at all. Partial due to stress partially due to I just felt disgusted with myself and sex wasn't fun anymore. But now.... We are doing things we never did before! Love my "chewie"

Thanks!

I could from my highest weight which was when I met my surgeon in august. I was 332 that day, and dos I was 300, today 263. So i count them all.

Hey all. I did not read through all the posts but seems like everyone is doing great! Congrats to you all! I was sleeved 12/10. I'm down a total of 69lbs. 37lbs since surgery the rest was preop. I was doing my own little diet in prep of surgery. And then lost 15 on the liquid diet. I find some days I'm hungrier than others. I have been slipping up a bit. Letting a few more carbs in than I would like. But I find I feel better if I have some. I'm trying to start working out more but my schedule is crazy and I'm just exhausted at the end of the day. But I'll get it figured out. Keep up the good work!

I was sleeved 12/10 and all I did was burping the first week. I never passed gas until a week or a week in a half postop.

Glad you called!

Have you had a bm recently? I was told if I had distention to call my surgeon. I know you have no other symptoms but can't hurt to call if you're worried about it. Hope you feel better.

93 since surgery? How the hell did you do that lol. Good job by the way.

I'm a freak and had no pain with either. The nurses for both procedure were dumbfounded. My c section they did not cut through my muscle so I'm assuming that made a big difference. And for the sleeve I had single site incision. Never had pain with either.

Same here. No shaving for 48hrs before and had to shower twice with hibicleanse.

That was supposed to read "do share the recipe"

Pammycakes, now the real question is.. Did you wake up in the same gown you went into surgery with? I had that realization about 6 weeks postop and got so disgusted. I know I was sprawled out on that table butt ass naked. I got tiny girls so I'm sure there was no taping going on for me lol. Hope surgery went well!

I say if you want it go for it. And I agree adopting a dog at pet smart... It's easier to get a kid. We got denied twice. Then I went to a shelter . But they are a huge commitment. Do you travel a lot? Work long hours? Able to walk/play with the dog? Some things to think about. And yearly vet visits and food. Things people over look

And that was only for the 24 hours prior to surgery. During my 2 week preop liquid diet is could drink and eat any color. But that day before no red or purple according to my surgeon.

I too was told no red or purple liquids. It can be mistaken for blood by the Dr during surgery.

Good luck! You will do great!

Hey there. Sleeved 12/10/12,down a total of 66lbs, 32 preop and 34 postop. Feeling good.

My Dr said once on foods I could switch back to pill instead of chewable. I bought the orange celebrate ones preop and liked then until postop. I then could no longer tolerate them. I used Flintstone until I could go back to pill form. My Dr also states that since we have no rerouting of the intestines and malnourishment is fairly nonexistent with the sleeve that we do not need to take a Bariatric vitamin like those with rny or ds. That an age appropriate multi should suffice. Now we all have to listen to our docs. Just letting you know what mine says.

Definitely would call the answering service and have him paged or have you pcp do it to get the meds started.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope you're doing well now and that one day this becomes a great decision that you made.
