low bmi sleeve

i am just 3 hours from TJ mexico so that would be where i would go my husband is in the medical field and dead set against me going to mexico but im gonna go if i have too i am so tired of the bullshit from an insurance company that we pay good money too

i had the obera balloon in may 2017 seriously if i was able to go back i wouldnt have wasted my money i woke up on the 4 th day after having the balloon and felt fine like nothing had been done i lost 17lbs in total the balloon was removed nov 15th. what they dont tell you is you will probably only lose weight the first month unless you are one of the ones who throw up for the whole 6 months that its in. i wish i had just gone for the gastric sleeve in the first place. i feel like the balloon is a waste of money but good luck on your journey.

I just had surgery on March first 2018 with the same BMI as you. I don’t have much experience so far. But I would do it again in a heart beat I am able to get my fluids in no problem and am down 6 lbs from surgery good luck

You look great before and awesome now. Maybe you should recreate the photo with your smaller self I think that'll be kinda cool. I think this is you ah ha oprah moment. How do you feel about it? Did your personality change?

Ok, so my son shares this picture of me and him from about 2 years ago last week. Out of the blue when were talking and he's fidgeting with his phone he says, "Damn, you have to see this!" Right off the bat I'm thinking what's wrong? He shows me the pic and then texts a screenshot to me. Ever since then I can't get out of my mind that I don't believe I'm as small as I am now. I mean I can fit in the same size clothes as my 18 year old son. It's very emotional to look at myself in the old picture...
I don't want to sound crazy or sound like I'm ungrateful for the results I've had. I know there's a lot of people out there who would love to be in the position I'm in and I hope they are just as successful. I'm so much healthier and able to enjoy life.
Has this happened to anyone else? Where your mind hasn't caught up to where your body is? What do you do about it?

Went on sale today! Great price to. I stocked up on 3 boxes.

That's still not bad at all! It's above the average of 1.5 - 2lbs per week. Your average is actually 3 pounds per week. You also have less to lose than a lot of other people. The less weight you have to lose the harder it is. Just keep at it and you'll get there. Remember, you didn't gain this weight overnight.

yes me i am exactly same stats bmi 35 and high blood pressure i just had to appeal my insurance decision because my surgeon sent for approval with out a letter of necessity so that was sent in today so hoping for approval soon if not i will be going to mexico to get it done.

I'm in my hospital bed.. had my gastric sleeve surgery this morning..had to be here at 530am surgery was started at 745am..im in some pain but nothing like I thought it would be. The area where is the biggest incision is the one that hurts the most..i have had two pain meds so far today . About to have another..Gas med and got a shot in my belly to prevent blod clots. My husband had to leave to be home w. Our children. So now I'm just laying here drifting in and,out of sleep. Waiting for greys anatomy and scandal to come back on tonight. They had brought me two trays of food today. Both trays had a bowl of chicken broth, dcaf tea Water flavored crystal light .. I wonder if they r gonna bring me the same thing in the morning.
I have walked 3x. Urinated a lot prob from iv drip.. have had 1 1/2 bottles of water so far.. just wanted to update on my first day.

I'm confused on why you've eaten so much and insist on testing your stomach and refusing to follow your doctor's orders. I am fearful for you and the choices you are making. Did you have any guidance or guidelines provided to you prior to surgery!!!!?????!?!?!?! I am quite concerned.

I say this will love and care, you need to stop testing your stomach, you need to start listening to your surgeon. I don't mean to scare you but you are playing with your own life here...

i know that the ER would have to see me my husband works in a ER but if i needed surgery its very difficult to get a surgeon to take you on because of the liability.

i dont think u have stretched out ur pouch but if your dr said to go the er i would go just to make sure there is no leak.. also my stats are almost the same as yours i have blue shield of calif and they are giving me a hard time with approval do you mind if i ask what insurance you have and do you have any other medical issues i have high blood pressure and i about to just give up and go to mexico im just worried about the after care i would get here if i did get a leak.

My doctor, and nurse and nutritionist all universally forbade us from putting more than 4 ounces of anything in our stomachs per one hour period...for the first two weeks after surgery.
Right down to counting liquid medications as part of the 4 ounces we were not to exceed in an hour.
If you're honestly putting 20 ounces of anything into a 4 day old surgically altered stomach in a 15 minute time frame...as you have stated, you're either trolling this board, or you have a death wish? Why on earth would you do that???
VSG, please ask your doctor what volume of food/liquid you should not exceed in an hour. This is important for your safety.
Also, if your doctor tells you to go to the ER...go to the ER. Even if you think it's overkill.

no im not worried because when i stared i was 216 and thats the weight they will use when submitting the paperwork
