Any sleever with lupus on here?
jlobyxmas replied to O2BSkinny's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have Lupus, and actually had a revision from Lap-Band to the Sleeve April 24th. The hardest part was being off of my anit-inflammatory pre-op but since I've been losing, honestly I feel so much better. Joints aren't as stiff, muscles don't ache all the time. Doc thinks the lap-band may have been contributing to my flares, body's response to the foreign body and all. So far, so good -
Yea for u is right!! Regardless of the number we are all in the same battle together. Keep up the great work!!!

Im scared/ sorry TMI
jlobyxmas replied to Alyjourneys's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Agree with everyone here, I was worried about the same thing pre-op but when I spoke to the pre-op nurse she said no need to worry, would have to use a pad....gross, and if you were unable to care for your hygeine needs immediately post-op that the nurses are used to it and would "take care" of it for you...double gross. Thank the lord, my period came the week before surgery so I didn't have to deal with any of it, but was comforting to know that they were prepared if needed. Good Luck! -

NSV--I Shopped In My Closet Today!
jlobyxmas posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm three weeks out today, down 25 pounds, and even though I was leary I decided to try on some jeans today that haven't fit in two years...THEY FIT!!!!! I could button them! A little snug, but three weeks ago I never thought I would fit in them again. Too soon to declare myself a success, but I'm definately in the right lane -
6 months post-revision update
jlobyxmas replied to timetobefree's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Congratulations. So glad to be able to read your post today. I'm 21 days post-revision and so far I'm doing well, losing, and not hungry all the time. Just concerned for long term success. Always glad to read success stories. Great motivation! -
Pre-op Diet With Revision?
jlobyxmas replied to NikNakMcCants's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I had a liquid protein diet for 5 days pre-op for my revision. -
Just got home from the hospital.
jlobyxmas replied to landen24's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I agree, I'm only two weeks out but three weeks since I started my pre-op, so I was going crazy for a while then I realized last nite at a birthday party that I'm not dying of cravings anymore. I'm sure I'll have moments, but I'm settling into my new normal. Hang in there! -
How much time off before returning to work?
jlobyxmas replied to Linkin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm two weeks out and feel ready to return but found out that I have a 10 pound lifting restriction for another two weeks, job won't let me come back with restrictions so I'll be off for an entire month. -

How does the pain differ from lapband to sleeve?
jlobyxmas replied to marfar7's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
In my experience the pain was worse with the revision. Doc chalked it up to having to go through scar tissue. Was on pain meds for three days, but it definately wasn't unbearable, just uncomfy. Nausea was my biggest problem. Good Luck! -
I was throwing up in the hospital and it freaked me out that I was gonna bust something, my surgeon specifically said it was OK, he stapled and sewed over the incision. It hurt like hell, but he said I didn't hurt anything.

Surgery Monday May 6th - anxious and nervous!
jlobyxmas replied to dl663's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good luck to both of you. Try to relax, it's nerve wracking but you've worked long and hard to get to this point. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. -
I understand your dad's objections, my family didnt want me to do it either. But they can't make the decision it is up to you. The nausea and vomiting were the first two days for me. Some don't have it at all. Just being honest I definitely questioned my decision the first few days when everyone said they were feeling great . And the post-op diet so far sucks, but I think this is gonna work...a few bites and I'm full, not always feeling hungry. I'm only one week out but feel like I made the right decision. Good luck!
