Getting Sleeved In India...and Im Freakin Out People



Recommended Posts

Hi all, yes you read correctly, I am a US gal currently in India for 2 years for hubbys job, and I am going to get sleeved here. Firstly let me say how CHEAP it is. Quality is excellent, I have found the best private clinic and feel comfortable and confident with the US surgeon who now lives here and does the procedure.

I am totally terrified....But I am also tired of not wanting to get out of bed everyday and look in the mirror. I am tired of failing myself everyday by overeating. Mostly I am tired of my daughter growing up and me not wanting to take any pictures with her.

I want to break free as Freddy Mercury says!!

Love the forum, please support me :)

In freaking out too. I'm really afraid of complications, but the thought of an absolutely complication free and smooth sailing kind of recovery is just too beautiful. I'm so excited and nervous! Add to all thy nervousness, I'm going to mx for my surgery and I've never been on a plane. Ha! I have always said hat you'll never find me on a plane but I've decided this is worth it.

      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! 😞
