Just a plug for our May 2012 Sleevers 'secret' Facebook group! We are 35 members strong now & going great!

If you were or are going to be sleeved in May then just friend me on Facebook & I will add you to the secret group.

Search for Sharon Ivanauskas.

It is a 'secret' group' date=' which means nobody can see the group, nobody can see who is in the group & nobody can see our posts!

I know some people haven't told everyone on facebook, so that is why I made the group secret.[/quote']

I just sent u a friend request...its from Stacey Tucker Dominguez..

Got you Stacey, added you to the group!

I may even workout a little this evening. Just the elliptical for 10-20 mins, see how long I can do it. I will take it slow & easy, but want to start some exercise.

Thanks!! I am 5 days post op...couldn't dream of trying to work out right now. I had a hernia repair also in my diaphragm which makes it rough to breath easy while I am healing. My hubby just wrapped me in saran wrap so I could take a shower and after I was done I was exhausted!!!

Why did you have to wrap in saran wrap? Do you have a drain still?

Just interested as I was told to take a shower every day & let the Water go on my incisions, then pat them dry gently.

Yep...drain won't be removed till tomorrow. Hopefully he will let me know what to do with the incisions too. I would like to change the bandages or clean the sites or whatever it is I am supposed to do.

Hi Sharon, I've asked you to be my friend and would like to join the "secret" May group. My name is Karen T. I don't like to give out full names over the Internet.

I've been very busy. My oldest daughter gave birth to her first child and my first grandchild yesterday. She is beautiful, of course. What else could I say. :P I can definitely tell that anesthesia is still wearing me out.

      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.

      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! 😞
