African American Sleevers



Recommended Posts

I can't lie the whole box is still in my room. I just couldn't do it. I just made sure I got up walked hourly to prevent blood clots. Just call me chicken.

LOL! I can't blame you one bit... Congrats to you though on being sleeved. And I wish you the best in your new beginning :-)

No' date=' I don't have to take additional shots. Were you on a blood thinner before procedure?[/quote']

No. They said its to prevent blood clots after a serious surgery like this. I walk so that would alleviate the issue. What I've found after doing it 3x by myself (Big Grin) the needle, it melts into my stomach. I was afraid of nothing really.

I am also on Gallstone preventive meds & Prilosec...along with multi Vitamins, calcium citrate, b-12, B complex, hair, nails, skin formula all in liquid form. I have Vit C, chlorophyll and aloe Vera.

I'm only 4-days post op and feel so much better.

I walk as well but my surgeon suggested this. I'm so grown up. Needles are like kryptonite but I have evolved. So proud of me...

Good luck all sleevers. Aug. 19th is my new birthdate.

Thank You, I have not been sleeved yet. Kaiser (my health insurance) requires that I take a 12 week course. My classes begin on Aug 31st. I can't wait. I'm sure there will be other requirements but I'm not sure what they are right now. Hopefully this week will go be fast. I'm ready to get started! :)

While you do that get EVERYTHING done that you can. Labs, Xrays, Endoscopy, EKG, Psych Eval, and etc. If your using a one stop shop ask them if you can do some stuff on your own since you have those classes so wheb your done you can just submit for approval

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
