October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves



Recommended Posts

Chad, the scopalomine helped within minutes. They had forgotten to place it in recovery. I am home now for about 20 min. Daughter made sf Jello. A little goes a long way. Who'd have thought jello could be so filling

I'm 40 years old, from Canada and am going in for my sleeve on October 16. I have followed my liquid diet completely, and am excited and very nervous about my surgery. I have PCOS and Hypo Thyroid, and am hoping that this will finally set me free so to speak. My top weight was 243, I am now 225. I wish everyone health and success!

Good luck to everyone about to have theirs. I think my bad reaction was to the anaesthetic not the surgery itself. Either way it sorted itself out after a day and now I feel pretty good. Should go home tomorrow. Woop! New life, here I come!

Me to! October 15. Hospital check in at 12:30 and surgery 2:30. Excited, nervous and i continue to be, as always, neurotic. Having a few 2nd thoughts but I think that's probably to be expected with most things in life. Although, if Brad Pitt proposed, I probably wouldn't have any. LOL

FIRST CONSULTATION - 235

FIRST DIETICIAN MEETING - 233

2 WEEK PREOP DIET -- 222

For all who had VS already, do you think if my friend has a surgery on Monday she will be able to go sight seeing for a few hours on Thursday?

I would not have been able to, but there are many on here that recovered more quickly than I. Go ahead and make plans, but don't be surprised if your friend can't join you. Also, incorporate lots of breaks and Water into your itinerary.

Good luck to your friend!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
