I had to have a physiological exam before I had sleeve surgery. They wanted to make sure I was mentally fit for the surgery. Any surgery that is body changing is hard on a person and they want to make sure that you can handle it and have a support system in place. When I had surgery I had what I thought was a strong support system. 3 weeks after surgery my family decided to move out of state suddenly. Luckily I still have my roommate who helps me with everything and a emotional support cat to play with.
I had surgery 4 weeks ago. I am 38 years old. 5'11 now 6 months ago I was 6'1 but 2 back surgerys shrunk me. I weighed 327 lbs on the day of surgery. As of yesterday I weigh 300lbs. My weight loss was slow because for two weeks I couldn't get water down and anything I ate I was throwing up. It takes time for the body to figure out what is going on. Today I tried to eat scrambled egg and got a migraine and was sick again. Don't know if it was the egg or the oil.
