Hey everyone! I know this is the sleeve board but I don't really know where to post, there are no boards for the surgery I'm having. SO, if there are any POSE procedure people hanging out here, I'd love to talk with you! Or if anyone knows where there is a forum for U.S. POSE patients, I'd love the link!

I'm scheduled for the 21st of this month along with a friend of mine. I'm excited but a little nervous since I can't seem to find anywhere to talk to anyone who has had it in the US so far. Dr. Lavin of Surgical Specialists of Louisiana is doing it and is a pioneer with this surgery. I do have a question for all of you here, were you intubated with your surgery? Is that something that happens no matter what surgery is being done? And also, when were you told you could quit worrying about blood clots after surgery? I'm only going to be out for an hour and up and walking within 2 so not alot of down time. Hoping that helps alleviate the blood clot risk??? But, I'm a smoker so that's something I am concerned with.

Thanks in advance everyone!!!

Good Morning,

Yes everyone is intubated when they are having this surgery because they want to make sure your always able to breathe.Second Im not sure who told you blood clots are something you shouldnt worry about but you definetely should. I work in the vascular lab and know this too well. Unfortunately if you are smoking you are at risk now for blood clots and with surgery it will double. They do put compressions on us during surgery to keep the blood circulating and thats why they make us walk immedietely and especially the days proceded. But when you smoke you are robbing your arteries of oxygen and also causes them to scar which can pool blot and there is where the blood clots can form. Most surgeons wont operate on patients unless they have quit smoking so not sure why they havent made you quit unless they just want the money and arent concerned for patients health....Dont mean to scare you just think you should know the truth....Good luck on your journey.

Since it's similar to the ROSE procedure for failed RNY patients, you might want to post on the obesityhelp.com Revision forum.

Hi exoticheart. Thanks for your reply. I haven't been told by anyone NOT to worry about blood clots, lol. That's why I asked how long after a surgery can one take that off their list of things to worry about. I'm glad you posted the info. I'm sure that it's not going to help much since surgery is in a week and 3 days, but after what you said, tomorrow I will not be smoking any more. I have a 7 year old that will be waiting for me to come home to him and take care of him so I'll do whatever I can to cut my risks down.

Tiffykins, thanks for the info. I forgot about the ROSE procedure for RNY patients, great idea to post there!!

Hope to hear from some more of you all!! God Bless!

      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?

      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
