  1. Admitted for surgery August 6th. Awoke from anesthesia to be told the doctor could not complete my sleeve as he found cirrhosis in my liver. He felt it was too dangerous to attempt. So, it doesn't look like WLS is in my future, BUT, my scale will continue to go down, not up. I'm down almost 30 lbs now and I will use everything I've learned from this experience to continue to eat healthy and exercise. I'm learned a lot from the posts on this web site and from all the courageous people who have shared their experiences. Good luck to you all.

    August Sleevers Check In

    I'm on the 3rd day of my 2-week pre-op liquid diet (4 shakes per day with 1 low carb yogurt, broth, SF jello and ice pops). The first 2 nights I felt very woozy and dizzy, almost sick, and broke out in a cold sweat. I had a jello and ice pop and felt a little better before falling asleep. I'd do anything for a spoonful of peanut butter! Anyone else have a reaction like this? It's gonna be a rough next 12 days.

    I Really Don't Get It

    I have chosen to share my WLS with only my immediate family. I don't want that to be my identity ("Oh, he had WLS") nor do I want to be evaluated by others. Maybe in the future I will change my mind.
