Im A May Sleever!



Recommended Posts

Does anyone think right after surgery a couple days out, it's normal to be emotional? I've been crying all day. Over pictures, all kinds of silly things!

I burst into tears a few days after surgery. Scared my poor mom and hubby half to death. Go easy on yourself. You deserve to rest and heal.

Holly,

So glad you are doing well! I thought about you a lot last weekend!

Did you like Dr. Ponce ?

This time next week I will be in Tijuana and sleeved by Dr. Ponce! I start my liquid diet tomorrow!

How long did you have the drain ?

Keep up the good work!

Candi

Thanks for thinking of me Candi you will love Dr. Ponce he is great... I had the drain in until i left the hospital so i had surgery on Thursday night and left for the hotel on Saturday around 2pm Make sure you try to bring some silky pj's and a light robe... they will help you maneuver in the bed.. and the rob will help cover up your behind..:-) I was cold in Mexico so bring a light jacket .. but i'm always cold..anyways... oh and chapstick.. the first 24hours you don't get to have anything.. i had a dry mouth sooooooo bad.. chapstick helped with that.. Good luck.. i wish you a smooth safe surgery!!!!

May 21 with Dr. aceves. Starting to get a little nervous (eg can I do the post op diet?!). Did people clean out their cupboards? How'd you prep the house?

I have never seen it mentioned anywhere... How long after surgery do you have to wait before you're allowed to shower?? I will have a drain in for a couple of days.

I did not have a drain and was told I could shower 2 days after surgery.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to say hi before things start moving along. It's almost 6am in Tijuana, and I'm scheduled for surgery at 8:30. So, so, SO nervous, but Trish has been phenomenal and assures me everything will be fine. Fingers crossed!

Hello, I have taken the first step in getting the sleeve, I went to the required seminar. What is the process and how long does it take from the time you go to the seminar/first dr visit to actually having the surgery?

Thanks for the information and best of luck to you all.

I am really digging the protien powder that I got from Chike nutrion.. I got thier free samples of flavors they offered and loved them so much I ordered more... all the flavors are good and they don't taste like a protien shake... I highly recomend it.

      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?
