Recommended Posts

Steve here from South Florida.41yrs old.I was scheduled to be sleeved on Oct 31st (halloween).I did my 6months of hoop jumping ,Pre op Diet for 2 weeks and surgery got canceled due to the fact I was "difficult to intubate" , my lungs collapsed and spent a day and a half in ICU. I was sent home on 24/7 oxygen.

With that said. I am determined,I feel much better have met with surgery team and will meet with pulmonary specialist on Monday for clearance .FINGERS AND TOES CROSSED. I will be back in surgery on November 17th.So we shall see.I look forward to contributing to the forum as much as possible.

Steve, Sorry to hear you had problems!! I hope they get you healthy enough to have surgery very soon! Who is your surgeon? I'm still looking for someone who has actually had surgery through Strax in Lauderhill and wondered if that might be your doctor?

Good luck with your journey!! Hopefully you'll be on the loser's bench soon!! :)

      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! 😞
