msthin reacted to kiannabird in Post-Op Day 5: Worried I feel too normal!
I was sleeved on 5/14/2013. I feel normal as well. I have also had thoughts about food. The thing to remember is that the surgery is a tool not a cure all. For me it is important to continue therapy, support group and seeing a nutritionist so that I can continue to work on the behaviors that caused me to become overweight while learning new and healthier ways of eating and coping with the old thoughts and behaviors. I am just starting on my road to recovery as well. I did have some time before surgery to begin to address some of those issues surrounding eating behaviors, etc. I don't think it will be a worry if we continue on the road to recovery. I wish you the best in your own journey.

msthin got a reaction from mocanitanj in I'm back to my old eating habits ;-(
Think about the struggle of having the surgery, the pain and discomfort. Think about the way your clothes fitted in the past. How miserable you were hanging with smaller friends. Think about trying to find a stronger chair to sit in and pray it doesn't break. Think about the plane and bus rides the tightness. Think about the quality of life.
I was sleeved on 5/14/13. I will not allow the pain I'm going through go in vain. I am determine to live. Just remember why u had it done and you will get back on track. We will fall down, now it's time to stand up and continue.

msthin reacted to Sleevin'It in Couples getting VSG?
My husband and I got sleeved on 4/12, I went first. It has been a bonding experience to do it together! We have been going through exactly the same things at the same time. I had a little postop issues, so he's progressed a little faster than me, but it's nice taking each step together. We don't have any small children in the house, so we asked my mom to come over to help us for the first few days. She was pretty bored, because we helped each other get around from the get go.
As far as insurance, we did not have any issues getting our approvals. They came quickly and we were pleasantly surprised how easy it was.
Good luck!
