I've Taken the Plunge!!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I've been posting on these forums for a few weeks now, and I just want to thank everyone for being so supportive and for answering so many questions from a sleeve newbie. I had so many reservations about this surgery as a "lower" BMI patient, especially having struggled with diets my whole life, and believing that maybe one more diet would be the magic answer. HOWEVER, I am proud to announce that I have solidified my surgery date today! I will be getting sleeved on December 13th in TJ by Dr. Pompa at the LIMARP surgical centre. I am SO excited, but nervous as well. I am very scared of the actual surgery, as I have never had anything done, ever! I just want it to be done, for the pain to be over and to be on the other side! Wish me luck!

good luck on your journey! I just got back from TJ and saw the "towers" that you'll be staying at. I also considered Dr.Pompa and did tons of research on her. You are in good hands....especially if you're going with wlf. They're a really good support to have.

      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! 😞
