October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves



Recommended Posts

So tomorrow is the day! The doctor just called me to see if I had any questions and give me a couple of instructions. He is so great. Pretty much ready. Bag is packed. Family is all set up for the week. I keep thinking I am missing something.

Good Luck tomorrow!

BRAND NEW to this!

My first seminar was last week after about a year of considering it and going back and forth!

I am 56 years old ... three joys of my life are my precious grandchildren! (8, 7, and 5yrs. old)

I lost about 100 pounds through a psychologist behavior modification program about 7 years ago and gained it all back unfortunately.

NOW, ready to begin the process and this time for GOOD! I currently weigh in at 297 .. .YIKES :(

So, lots of research, etc. ahead of me before the surgery. I was told the process takes about 6 months before the actual surgery ... so would appreciate any comments, suggestions etc. What to expect?, etc.

Prayers go out to all of you!!

Thanks for listening!

When my doctor called he explained why he wanted me to do Clear Liquids for 2 weeks. He said that a lot of people continue to be or get naucious (sp?) because even the thicker liquids or purees are too much for their "new" tummy.

I'm not tryin to freak you out but that doesn't sound normal to me , what color is the blood ? If its bright red I would go the ER and be evaluated , I was told it was normal the first couple of days but I would not think it is now , and if you are throwing up that's another sign something could be wrong , does your surgeon have someone on call you can ask ? If it were me I would go get checked out . Hope all is well .. Let is know ..

      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! 😞
