Sleeve scheduled for 1/27...



Recommended Posts

Hi, my name is Laura. I am a newbie to the site. I have decided, after failing with all of the "fad diets", to have the gastric sleeve procedure done. I am 5'2" and starting at 238. I am somewhat nervous and anxious all at the same time. My pre-op visit is tomorrow and surgery is scheduled for Jan 27th.

Hey! That's my sleeve date as well. I think that makes 5 of us now for the 27th.

What surgeon are you seeing?

Welcome Laura! I hope all goes well with your surgery. I haven't heard of your surgeon so I now have another dr to look into. :-) Keep us posted with your progress!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
