Surgery For Sleeve In Am!



Recommended Posts

Scheduled for sleeve surgery in a.m.! IT'S FINALLY HERE! I am excited yet anxious about the post-op pain. Hopefully it's not worse than childbirth w/no pain meds. Anybody else out there goin in tomorrow? I'm from Oklahoma - I need a buddy but they don't necessarily hafta be from Oklahoma. I have 77 lbs to lose for my goal weight of 135 lbs.

And can anybody tell me how to attach that ticker thing that shows ur weightloss timeline?

To be honest I was shocked at just how painful it was.

My nurses were very good at trying to keep it under control, but the 1st 2 days the only thing that helped even a little was walking.

I know when you are in a ton of pain you do not want to walk, but it really does help!

I was also very very weepy, which I did not expect.

I am on day 4 now and doing OK. Still doing lots of walking.

Good Luck and remember it is totally worth it!

Well.....I'm still alive & it wasn't near as bad as childbirth! No cakewalk, but not horrible. I just got back from my swallow studies & doc said everything looks great. Will be discharged today. I'm very sore in my abdomen, kinda feels like I did 1000 sits ups yesterday--that kinda sore. I waked around the halls twice last nt, & have been getting up and down to the bedside commode a million times. Worst part really is urinary retention, it's really hard to get started & then when I do pee its only like a medicine cup full at a time. But it's getting better. Supposed to be discharged today.

If self pay I recommend Zapata or Garcia in Mexico. Zapata did my band!! My insurance approved me within 3 weeks thank the Lord. If not I was going to go to Garcia.

I live in Roland, which is on the ark/okla stateline. I had my sleeve in van buren, ark by dr Travis goodnight. My 2nd choice was weight wise in Edmond, and I hear they run specials occasionally for $9000. I am self pay, I tried the insurance route but I have no co-morbities.

      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?
