Finally got my Surgery date... YAY for me!



Recommended Posts

I went to see my surgeon thus morning and after hours of waiting, due to the high volume number of patients and the shortage o staff, he finally gave me a date! I'm utterly excited, after months i can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, Change is coming and I'm excited to meet and greet her!:D

Doc said it mandatory that i get down to 300lb FIRST though, before my next visit which will be in a month... any ideas on how i can lose some weight? (already seeing my nutritionist, but I'm looking for Sleeve community assistance, who better to help you than the people who are going or went through it already)... feel free to leave suggestions and comments. I'm all ears like Dumbo!:D

Hi! Congrats on finally getting your date. I am scheduled to have mines on 9/19.

How much weight do you need to loose in one month....15 lbs?

Two words: Kettlebell Swings.

I'm doing drop sets of 20, four times a week until my surgery on the 23rd.

And for a professional-level arse kickin'

Tabata Kettlebell Swings

Take said kettlebell (25-35lb) and proceed to swing it for 20 seconds

Rest for ten seconds

Repeat 7 more times for a total of 8 rounds (4 minutes)

Do NOT underestimate the simplicity: the wet pool left on the floor is your sweat

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
