After almost of research. I finally booked my surgery with Dr. Almanza on June 6th. I am very excited to be starting a new chapter in my life. I have been overweight my entire life.. And I am so grateful to God for him giving me this opportunity! I want to send my prayers to all of you, I ask that He bless you in your Quest to obtain that ultimate goal! If anyone has any advice or words of wisdom. Know they are welcome. I just feel so blessed to share this with my community. I have an overweight 10 year old daughter, who I am seeing deal with the same issues I dealt with as a child. I fugure that if I can can on track with the tool of the sleeve, I can help her. Because I coulnt help her until I helped myself! I praise God for all of your stories!

Thanks,

Again I am so excited..I am trying to get everything planned. What to take is the most important thing I am trying to figure out! I hear about Gas X, heating pad, loose comfortable clothes, gauze, anti-bacteial wash among other things. I am just going to come outand be direct, I need someone who knows to answer. I have been married 15 years, and my youngest child is 6. So I have not had a sex restriction in 6 years. Is anyone familar to if there may be a sex restriction after the sleeve? #therearenostupidquestions

I am so glad someone asked that. I don't know the answer, but I have wondered the same thing. I assumed it would be the same as for a csection -- 6 weeks. Anyone know?

I believe the correct answer is "whenever you feel like it" lol.

I'll let you know how long that is when I get back from surgery next week ;)

That is one of the questions I asked my dr. I haven't been sleeved yet either...but my doctor said 2 weeks. I thought it would have been longer...but it's not food! Lol... So maybe he told me right?

MGM and bogeydog, thanks 2 weeks sounds okay.......I guess that question is more important to me than what I need to pack at this point! LOL.....just wandering...It seems the incision might cause some discomfort, but I will ask, best to believe 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?

      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
