Everything I Hink I See Becomes A Sleeve Gastrectomy.



Recommended Posts

I think about the surgery off and on all day but this made me giggle at myself. I've watched so many videos of the surgery procedure, etc. That

when I saw the stomach on this picture, it made me think of the surgery. And I envision three fourths of it being cut off, ha ha

LOL! Does the word "sleeve" sound weird to you yet? I overheard someone talking about their sleeve recently, and it was regarding tattoos....but that definitely wasn't the first sleeve that came to MY mind!

Now I'm going to be singing the title of this thread all day. Thaaanks....

Yes, more things are making me think of the sleeve. But want to know the worst? I was in McD's the other day (ugh, I know, but an Egg McMuffin - bread is actually pretty healthy)and they had this video looping on one of their screens about their products. One of them is a blended drink, maybe a chocolate malt or something similar. Something in the way the stuff was "funneled" (by the mixing) and the overall color -- well, every time I saw it I would think "An EGD?" It looked exactly like a scope view during an EGD. To me, anyway. ;) I'm going to have to see if I can find a still of it somewhere.

Oh I was watering the pots lastnight and it kept occuring to me that my stomach was about the size of that hose, and trying to visualize how the food fits into it, and what the early digestion must look like. I appreciate the gory details.

BBJuice, I had the same experience with a guy who was wanting to show off his sleeve the other night. I was thinking to myself "How is he gonna show THAT to the world?" Turns out it was his tattoos, too! :)

Oh gosh, I was just at Starbucks and they had a little sign there saying "Don't forget your sleeve!".....right above the coffee cup sleeves. LOL!

      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! 😞
