Calling all May Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

I have not seen a thread on here as it may be too early for the May sleevers, but I thought I would start one since I have a May surgery date!

Anyone out there getting sleeved in May?

I will be having surgery on Tuesday May 24th at 10:30 A.M. with Midwest Bariatric Solutions in Theda Clark Medical Center Neenah Wisconsin. Super excited at this point! I know the nerves will come soon enough!

Calling all May sleevers! Lets start this journey together!

:)Hi Kara, hope everything goes good. I live in Alabama now but I'm from Appleton Wisconsin. See they had bunch of snow other day. Maybe spring is on the way it sure is here.

Oh, just rub it in... lol... We got 9.5 inches here in Green Bay. Sure feels like its going to go from Winter to Summer with no Spring. Its crazy. I work in Appleton and love it way more then Green Bay. Feels like there is so much more to do, and Appleton is growing more and more every day.

My surgery is May 31st and I'm getting very excited, I am also having lots of fears as it gets closer. But I can't wait either way!

One week and the month of May is here!!! Our new life is going to begin so soon. One week til my surgery and I'm excited, nervous, anxious, overwhelmed, and simply happy all at the same time if that's possible. I start my 5 day pre op liquid diet tomorrow, blah not excited. I am just going to readily assure myself that it will all pay off soon. To all May sleevers best of luck with the nerves, pre op diets, and surgeries. To getting slimmer this summer!! B)

Just got my date today: May 17 for surgery, May 6 for pre-op. I'm hoping to get in earlier because my schedule is completely flexible and I can take a cancellation appointment. I've been working towards this for so long! Last November I met with my Dr. and told him I was interested in the band. Thank goodness I looked around on the web and found out more. By the time I attended the WLS Overview class in January I knew I wanted the sleeve. Today I threw away my Weight Watchers log. Yahoo! I hope to be in Onderland by June!

May 9th for me!!!!!!!!!

And yep, the nerves are definitely setting in....and the urge to eat anything and everything I can get my hands on! :blink:

This surgery has always been SOOOOO far out of reach for so long, that I am having a hard time believe that this is even real! Whatever you do, DO NOT WAKE ME UP!!!! ;)

Wow, good wishes to those that have already had surgeries this month and to those with upcoming dates! Mine is May 17 with Dr. Castro in Dallas. Will say a prayer for you tomorrow morning Avalinn. Hang in there Kara! Been watching you on you tube, love the blog. The EAS Protein coupon(s) have come in handy. I printed out 10 of them!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
