Any Jersey Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

How far out are you and how has your journey been? I have always had a hard time putting myself first and taking care of everyone else so I know I will have to make a lot of changes.

Oh cool!! That's so great. I'm definitely planning to have the sleeve done. Can I go to the meeting if I haven't had the surgery yet? Would you be able to tell me a bit about your pre-surgery experience with him, like the tests and such that he requires? I'm just trying to plan an idea of a schedule so I know the time frame I'm looking at (so I can make it work with class schedules and vacations, etc :)).

Sure you can go! It would be a great opportunity to meet patients and ask questions. I would be happy to talk to you about the process! Can we private message on this? We can email or talk on the phone if you wish figure a week after surgery you will need off.

Hi I am in South Jersey but my Dr is in Camden County. I am just finishing my Nut apps and then I will be waiting on insurance clearance... I should be a November or December sleever... I do have a question... Since I am going to be having surgery so close to the holidays... How long of a recovery time are we looking at here... I have children and don't want to interfere with my Christmas shopping and Santa stuff??

      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!!

      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
