  1. Hey i was sleeved on dec 1, first month down and yes my mental is all over the place at times i regret doing the surgery still questioning myself even after a month. Im still on soft foods i can eat mashed potatoes and pasta but i feel guilty because of the carbs after i eat it ? but it taste good. And yes i had a qeak moment Saturday i had a cookie from panara bread only ate a small piece but my belly was fine. But the struggle is real you qill over come
  2. Omg, i felt the same about them not doing it because i too didnt feel that full feeling or discomfort when i ate or drank im on week 3 post op puree/ soft diet ?. The gas was real alot of belching my surgeon said that was normal. And yes it does get better i noticed yesterday that the gas qas not as bad. But im down about 15 lbs since the surgery i weigh every week on the same day so it helps . I told myself im not going to weigh agian til the end of the month just so i wont go bat **** crazy. You got this ?. The process is real the journey is rewarding in the end
  3. How long after surgery were u able to eat this much
  4. So loveies, week 1 post op down 7 lbs went in at 227 started my journey at 247 lbs. I find the post op liquid diet is frustrating just sipping fluids all day until go to sleep. It really does tale all day to get those fluids in. I belch alot not sure why. The past 2 mornings I've woken up extremely nauseous. Anyone else have/ had these issues. On a good note Dietician called scheduled appointment for next week to hopefully upgrade me to puree/ soft diet

  8. December 1st, no Thanksgiving for me been on this journey over a year. Original date was September 2023, but was informed while on surgery table no go because of situs inversus so started over January this year long process, but finally received date excited ? ?
  9. Dont beat up on your self, this is my second time around , meaning my first attempt at surgery was halted no fault of my own just a unknown issue situs inversus, so ive been on this journey for a little over a year, went back to my 9old habits quickly, but gets better, im on my pre op diet and had a slip up nothing outrageous so just keep pushing forward i too had the second thoughts even with a week until my surgery, but i think of the health benefits in the end.

  12. You have given me hope , thanks for sharing, a d the prayers
  13. So follow up from my care coordinator relayed to me the provider in Delaware suggested that i find a surgeon closer to North Carolina, Raleigh were i live. That sucked. THAT WAS THE SURGEON THAT INFORMED ME THAT I HAD SITUS INVERSUS. He was in Pinehurst . So im back on the hunt again. ? if anyone know a surgeon that will take SURGERY Plus Benefits it would be great thanks
  14. Yeap one of my co workers said she seen it on Greys Anatomy, she was so excited that she knows one of the o.o5% of people that has this
  15. Your absolutely right, and ive done all the above, just waiting. Thanks again
  16. Yeap the unique thing about it it shows mirror image so it looks like every thing is were it's supposed to be but yeap ive posted to the provider forum hopefully ill get some feedback ?
  17. So, my surgery original date was scheduled for September 15th, 2022 for bypass. But unbeknownst to me found out i have condition called Situs Inversus, which is basically all my organ are on the opposite side of my body. My surgeon had not ever seen or yet had any experience with this and decided not to proceed with the Gastric Bypass. So i was closed back up and sent home ?, and disappointed ?. Last week my care coordinator sent me some referrals from Christiana Care in Delaware, PA, i live in North Carolina so just wondering if anyone here has had any experience with the providers at this facility and if they could help me with my awesome anatomy. I've done some research on 2 that interest me but there bio really doesn't go into detail ?. So just trying t figure this out and hopefully not get disappointed and discouraged again thanks all
  18. Hello all so.my original surgery date was September 15, 2022, was on the made.it through my 2 week pre op diet. Even made it to the surgery table , cut open only to find out i have a rare anatomy called Situs Inversus which means all of my organ are on the opposite side. The surgery had never seen anything like it before and i didn't even know i am like this,and you dont until you have a surgery. So my bybass didn't happen because the surgeon didn't have experience with my unique ? anatomy a nd wasn't comfortable performing the procedure. But on a good note was recommended to another facility with hopefully surgeons that have the experience to perform the surgery so im starting all over agian. Im a little discouraged, but at the same time keeping a positive attitude ? ?
