TOMMORROW 1/3/11 IS MY DAY!!!!



Recommended Posts

Well, after a year and 3 months after I had my band removed due to a full (and painful) slip I am having my gastric sleeve. Although I have an excellent surgical team, I am nervous (once bitten, twice shy)....

If any of you could give me some word of encouragment and a send some prayers my way, it would be so much appreciated. I found each of every person on this site to be so kind and compassionate!!

Wish me luck!

Nina

Hi Nina, I'm sure you'll do great. I've heard that revision people do pretty well in the long run, as they have realistic expectations as they've already had WLS. All the best for tomorrow! tongue.gif

You will do great! I just had my revison (band to sleeve) and I couldn't be happier! The pain meds they give you take care of most of the pain, so don't worry about that. I must say, so far the sleeve is far better than the band. My drive to eat just isn't there. I went to a family New Years event and my liquids were just fine. It didn't even bother me that other people were stuffing their faces because I feel so great. I will be thinking of you!!!!

Good Luck Nina, I'll send up some prayers for you.

I'm getting sleeved on the 5th, and am also quite nervous, although I'm figuring that after one previous keyhole surgery, and an emergency c-section I should be prepared for waking up sore!

Let us know how you get on.

      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! 😞
