Contact sports after Sleeve and excess skin
maharet111 replied to Derbymama21's topic in Fitness & Exercise
From what I have watched on TV..I would wait a bit longer to really participate fully in all out contact. You definitely want your sleeve line to be fully healed and for me I was still feeling the internal stitches pulling until around 6 weeks. It wasn't until then that I felt healed. Although the other part of this is..you are going to be tired after the surgery with the nutrition restriction etc, so keep that in mind as you plan your return to the ring! The excess skin is a crap shoot..age, genetics etc..all play a part. -

I understand going home with a drainage tube for a week isnt unusual, however I have a co worker who had an infection to develop due to it. Has anyone else heard of this

Sept Surgery Date?
rabrijumo replied to Uniqueladybug's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am embarrassed to say my wt but I have posted it all over so my start or highest wt is 448 I am 5 ft 71/2 inches tall which makes my bmi 70. I was a little less when I started this process but started a goodbye to food binge that had me gain to my highest wt. I have since started a data entry of all I eat on myfitnesspal that helped me lose 8 lbs. I then did 3 days of optifast and now I am doing low carb meat - protein veggies fruit and no " white" refined sugar, potato , and pasta. I am required to do two weeks of optifast pre op. -
Sept Surgery Date?
rabrijumo replied to Uniqueladybug's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also have my surgery scheduled for September. September 25, 2012. I started my journey April with a seminar. First dr appt with Bluepoint medical group dr Moazzaz april12. Started my three months of classes 4/24 because traffic was so bad I missed my 1st appt the 20th. I had some complications with my appointment schedule because the regular scheduler was out on maternity leave. I was very upset with the office staff but they made it up to me on my final weigh in. I got my " second" md/np appt that very day and they gave me a surgery date of sept 25. That was July 24 2 days before my 51st bday. I actually do not have official insurance approval but they are confident they will get it this week. My doctor wants me to lose 45 lbs before my surgery day so I started seriously getting a handle on my eating by data entering everything I eat in myfitnesspal. Then I did a few days of optifast last week to jump start my low carb diet. Now I am low carb only no sweets. I have lost 8 lbs but I do not have a scale that can weigh me so I don't know if I have lost anymore. Will drop by my drs office and use their scale Monday. So let's start a september surgery group. Anyone else interested? -
Has anyone only had 3 days of shakes/diet before there banding? I've only been given 3 days notice and am a bit worried my liver may not have shrunk enough by the time the op comes

Day 2 of 7day liquid diet..
pecj25 replied to Carlagrant's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At this moment, shoulder gas pains a messing with me big time. Any words for me? Post-op 3 days out! -
As long as your doctor is alright with it, I wouldn't worry about it. Some people have 0 days of pre-op diet. So if your doc says that 3 days is enough, don't stress it! Good luck!!!

Blood Work & Fatty Liver
deb_fox replied to mufasas-mom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My Surgeon orders a routine sonogram as part of the lab work prior to surgery. They told me that a Sonogram would detect a fatty liver. It was explained to me that the liver is a very fragile organ that bleeds easily. It is lifted and manipulated during the procedure and they need to know if it is fatty. Regardless, the liquid diet is to shrink the liver and make it as firm as possible for surgery for the safest procedure possible. This is why all of my Surgeon's patients remain on a 2 week liquid diet before surgery.
