October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves



Recommended Posts

Hi. I was sleeved on 10/9/12. I'm stuck at 190 size xl/16 reg. I feel great except for bad knees which stop me from walking my miles. I have also incorporated wine and my fav foods in my diet. The great thing is that I am still eating less! I mean.....u can only fit so much in the sleeve. Thank God! Otherwise I would be back at 275! I try to eat healthy most of the time. And I have to be more careful since the holidays are just around the corner.

God luck to all in keeping your goals and commitments. I feel like a' normal' person who has to exercise and watch what u eat. We just got a nice headstart!

We can do this. I would like to lose 40 more pounds. God help me!

Have a great life people!

Sleeved last Monday, October 7th, and left hospital Thursday. Pain is MUCH better, still having difficulty getting up and out of chair and bed. Consuming proper amount of liquids thanks to surgery free popsicles. Down about 20 pounds, off four meds already, wedding rings don't fit, feeling pretty good. Pictures from surgery, did not require stitching, incisions were glued, and are looking amazing. Bruises are NOT from surgery, they are from having to stop Coumadin two weeks prior to surgery and replace them with Lovenox shots. Pics attached :-)

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
