10 Days Away From Surgery Date June 5Th!



Recommended Posts

I had my pre-admission testing completed on Monday. I got a little freaked out when they told me the inside of my stomach will most likely be so swollen after surgery that it will be the size of a coffee stirrer & even a strawberry seed could be a major problem if swallowed. Other than that I am excited and ready. Is anyone else having their surgery in early June?

Hi Amom2twins,

There are many people having surgery in June. There's a section for June 2012 June Sleevers located here: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/forum/198-june-2012-sleevers/

There's a section called June Sleevers Compilation - Good Luck & Well Wishes and I put your name, on the June 5th with your surgeon.

My surgery is June 4th and I'm on day 6 of 14 pre-op Protein shakes and gosh it's been tough. Lots of people have had to do different things, some have gone through six month programs before getting approval from insurance, some are self-pay that are having surgery in Mexico, we all have different experiences but it's nice to see that there are so many people having surgery in the same month as you and be able to learn from and give support to.

The Compilation is located at http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/39508-june-sleevers-compilation-good-luck-well-wishes/ there are several people having surgery on June 5th!

Best wishes for an easy pre-op and good luck!

Thanks for adding me to the June sleevers section & good luck to you on your surgery as well. I don't have to do a liquid diet pre-op except for the day before surgery. I love to drink pop so it will definitely be an adjustment going without it (I love the carbonation). I know I will love having a new healthy body better than any pop or food so I am very excited about making this positive change in my life.

Good luck to you, you may want to give up caffeine before surgery, so you don't have caffeine headache withdrawals right after surgery. It's usually bad enough to have surgery, but to go through that after surgery will kinda suck. I did it before the pre-op shakes and now it's not so bad, right now this seems like the longest 14 days ever lol. :)

      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! 😞
