Sleevedmedic

I was sleeved 5/23 My SW 419lbs My current 357 Lost 62 lbs so far.

I was sleeved on may 23rd and I have lost 24 lbs in one week after surgery. Lost 17 in my 2 week preop for a total of 41 lbs.

I am only 10 days post op. I lost 24 lbs in my first week after surgery.

This is the right surgery u will lose the weight I am 6'4 and was 419 when I started the process. I have lost 41 lbs in 3 weeks. You will do great withe the sleeve.

There are a few clear liquid proteins out you can try. Sunkist makes some in fruit punch and orange and grape. They have 24 grams of protein in only 2.5oz bottles. Then they have new whey comes in grape, green apple, orange watermelon and I think fruit punch it has 42 grams total.

What kind of pain did you have? Was it a constant pain did it come and go? Or did it only hurt when you drank or ate something?

Yea I started drinking very small sips and that helps some. Thanks for the advice.

Well yea that what I was thinking some kind of air. I just hope it goes away son to. Thanks for your response.

Thanks everyone that makes it a little easier knowing it will get better and that other people have had the same problem

Yea I get my liquids in just pretty uncomfortable doing so but I just don't want to get dehydrated or anything so I just try to fight through the pain. Some times is worse than others.

Well thanks so much I just kind of worried cause it hurts pretty severe some time.

I am having pain that kind of feels like gas pains but happens when I drink the most. But it does happen by itself even if I don't have nothing to drink. I am only 2days post op. if any one could tell me if this is normal.

Thanks you guys. Yea I have been walking it does help and I use that incentive spirometer for deep breathing. Which seems to help some. Plus they give me something for gas that goies under my tongue. Just excited to get through the first couple weeks.

I was sleeved this morning. So far everything has went great. I woke up in moderate pain in the center of chest epigastric area. It was from the gas. My incisions are not sore at all. So far I have took sips of water and ate ice chips with no pain or nausea. The doctor said that everything looks good. I am just peeing my brains out because all the IV fluids. Other then that all is good

Good luck to you to. Hope everything goes good for you.

I live in kentucky bout 2 hrs from Lexington. Nope I don't have to take anything just have to be on clear liquids day before and fast after midnight

Good luck guys. I am also having surgery tomorrow to. God bless all of you.

I just received my surgery date. I am having surgery may 22

I meet with dr Weiss on Tuesday may 7 to get my date.

I am having my surgery in Lexington at central baptist with dr. Weiss also.

But when I talked to the bariatric team over my insurance that approves the surgery they told me there was no pre existing clause so I don't have a clue. One person told me there was and another said there wasn't.

Well they told me it was a clause in place where she didn't have insurance for 2 yrs then I added her to my insurance and that they said there would be a pre existing clause on everything she was treated for with her previous insurance. That she has to have this insurance for a year. But I told them she has never been treated medically by a doctor.

My wife is wanting to have gastric sleeve done and we just added her to my insurance plan this year. i was just wondering if anyone insurance had a pre existing clause and if so, could you have surgery if you completed all the requirements needed for surgery. if you have never been medically treated for obesity beforehand. Or if you had to wait to have your insurance a complete year before they would approve it.

Yes you are right the meds will make you feel like your at Disneyland haha I know it won't be bad. But congrats on your upcoming surgery I hope everything goes well for you and that the new ride your about o endure is full of great things for you. Thanks for being so supportive and helpful
