Any January Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm back and i'm sleeved!! thanks to all who said a prayer for me, it must have helped, things went really well. I had some pain the first two days but that was kept under control with meds, by the third day i felt great. "They kept me in two days longer because my drain was producing too much and the xrays they did were inconclusive but i know everything was fine.

How many of us have been sleeved this month so far? How is everyone doing?

I'm so excited to start my new life and re-claim my health!

Well, 4 days post sleeve and all is well, spent extra day in Hospital because of snow conditions in NJ. I had a Hiatial Hernia repaired at the same time. No pain from surgery, just some really bad gas pains from anastesia. Not taking any pain meds, just my regular medication. Surviving the liquid diet so far, havnt weighed my self will wait till Dr visit next week.. Please keep in touch and good luck, so far I am glad I did this.

Good for you, glad to hear that at 4 days out you are happy and doing well. I am in NY so I know all about the snow right now. How many days did you spend in hospital in all?

Take care and keep us updated!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
