Anyone From Buffalo, Ny Out There?



Recommended Posts

I am doing well! Have lost 9 lbs since surgery. Having a little trouble getting my fluids in because I get full so quickly. I have to go back to work on Wednesday' date=' so that will be interesting getting back into the groove of things![/quote']

It'll get better each day. Just keep sipping and make sure you're not taking gulps of Fluid. Mix it up and have some sugarfree Jello with u or popsicles. Try getting your Protein dtink on before u leave for work and on the way.

That's a good idea, thanks. I have Popsicles and Jello. Started eating strained puréed this week and its nice to add a few things and have noticed feeling hungry a few times now. I just got a new strawberry Protein powder drink because I was getting sick of the chocolate.

Yes we do! Why are you being resleeved? I know how you are feeling. I originally had the band. On top of feeling sick all the time I felt like a total failure when the band didn't work for me. I hope you have better luck this time. When is your surgery?

I was one of the first 5 sleeved . My fundus has formed a pouch called a neofundus..dr hoffman will shave the excess off. Still just as nervouse the second time around...eeeek!!!

Hi I just joined and like that there's so much support. I am from Cheektowaga and am getting sleeved by Dr. Carauana at Sisters Hospital on 8/5. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow and Im getting so nervous and having mixed feelings. I keep telling myself that I can't continue on this path of destruction and I want to be healthy for my 2 small children. Is anyone else having their sleeves around that date? And best wishes to everyone that is or just had the sleeve. :)

I'm in Lockport and my sister and I were both sleeved in Mexico on June 24th. Both of us are doing very well and super exited by our new lives. Since 2 week pre-op I've lost 26lbs and my sister 34lbs. Since surgery, exactly 1 month-16lbs for me and 20 for her! You will rock this! It's a learning experience but it's not that hard, it's a lot of listening to your body. I've yo-yo dieted for 40 years and never knew this existed until February when a friend had it done. Absolutely awesome experience-so worth it!

I am very excited but scared. I've had 2 csections so I don't know what I'm worried about. Its great hearing that you and your sister are being successful! Congrats!! :)

My co-worker just had her bypass by Dr. Carauana 3 weeks ago. She's doing well and you'll do just fine!!!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
