Suga Renique Reborn

I also sleep with a CPAP machine..it is difficult to get used to (its been 2 yrs)!! Sleep apnea is one of the reasons I had the gastric sleeve on 6/6/16. I am sick of being tethered to that clunky thing (yeah I know it keeps me alive while I'm sleeping).... My doc wants to wait 6 mos. before I get another sleep study done to see if I still need the machine.... That will be another BIG VSG victory for me once I'm done needing this darn CPAP!!! So glad you were able to use it again / It truly is a lifesaver (my sleep study showed I used to stop breathing approx. 150x a night), so hang in there... best of luck to you my friend! Here are my before and after pics

By the way, I was sleeved 6/6/16

The amazing thing about surgery is that once its over and you start to heal, you won't even recall how bad you're feeling right now! I know I wasn't feeling too great after VSG surgery, but for the life of me now I cannot remember what I felt back then! Kind of like childbirth, once its over and done, you won't remember the pain! Hang in there...it gets better!

Picture on left is pre VSG and on right post VSG.... I hated the way I felt and looked. Got tired of all the diets, books, videos on weight loss which clearly were not working for me! VSG is NOT an easy decision or change by any stretch of the imagination (in spite of what others may think). I thank God for the opportunity to save my own life. Looking forward to living healthier and happier for the rest of my days! WOO-HOO ‪#‎VSGworks‬

They probably will check the day of surgery - my surgeon told me that in one case he has been in the operating room and found out the patient was still smoking, he cancelled the surgery immediately! Can you imagine going that far and getting to that point just to end up denied? AGH!!

122 pounds is really impressive! I'm like you - a bit of a struggle at times, but overall the best decision of my life! Keep up the good work...... #HeresToHealthyLiving

You'll see, it will end up being one of the best decisions of your life! Soon you'll be looking good and feeling even better.....YOU GO GIRL!

I also had my sleeve done on June 6th. I ate corn on the cob today and it came right back up! Something tells me corn is not good for my system going forward... Thoughts? Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App

How long did you wait before starting sex again?

How long did you wait before starting sex again?

My hubby is looking at me these days with those love eyes... I smile knowing he's pleased. How long did you all wait before having sex again?

Day 12 post-op....feeling good and looking great! My only regret is that I allowed my weight to soar to almost 300 pounds!!!! This was absolutely the right choice for me and I thank God for the ability to save my own life. Yay!!!

Note taken...go easy ???? Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App

Day 8 post op...boy did I mess up! I'm on full liquids which include cream of chicken Soup so I also bought some cream of potato soup. Apparently there were bacon bits and other ingredients in this soup! I mushed a couple of small potato pieces in my mouth before swallowing. Holy cow!! I was in serious pain most of the evening.. I see now there is a reason they put you on full liquids for 2 weeks because your body cannot handle much else! LOL I see why they tell you to introduce one food at a time once you are able to eat regular food... Lesson learned I won't make that mistake again!!! ????

I just want to say that this has been one of the hardest yet smartest decisions I've made in my entire life..its more than a notion for sure! Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved by DaVinci too...it gives the surgeon 3D views of the surgical area and assists the surgeon...kinda like having 4 arms working instead of two...I'm glad my surgeon used the robot on my sleeve ???? Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App
