August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?



Recommended Posts

Name: Beth

Age: 46

Surgery date: August 13th

Surgeon: Dr. Adolpho Fernandez, Winston-Salem, NC

Just like so many others, I've struggled with being overweight all my life. I've lost substantial amounts of weight numerous times only to gain it all back, and then some. I researched WLS for years. Only when I recently saw a photograph of myself did I finallly gain the courage to begin the process, dedicating myself to this lifestyle change. I have a fabulous supportive husband and two exhausting wonderful kids, ages 6 and 5. I am looking forward to weaing my original wedding set, answering the phone without someone saying "did you run to the phone?", and of course, spending many fantastic years with my family.

I'm on day six of a three week pre-op diet.

Thank you to all who post on this board. The information is so very helpful!

Hello lovelies! I've been around since February 2012, and finally finished hoop jumping for insurance coverage. I start my liquid diet on 8/3, have my pre-op day of meetings at the center of excellence on 8/8... and finally have surgery on 8/17.

I am 43, 5'5", and 247 lbs (as of today). I started the year at 267. My initial aim is to lose 100 lbs, but I don't really know what that will look like after more than 20 years, so I plan to adjust as I go along and see how I look and feel. This is all about health for me, not about size. I have severe sleep apnea and joint and back pain I am hoping to release.

Wishing all of us well on our journeys to improved health!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
