Any Jersey Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

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??

You can't lift anything heavy for 6 weeks or so. The incisions never really hurt. You'll be in a little discomfort for a few days, but it gets better each day.

Hi, Mom of 4: recovery is different for everynody. I was really weak for 5 weeks . Then realized that I am someone who needs carbs. I have a little potato each day and I feel wonderful. Go for it....you'll be fine. You'll have your secret weapon (your sleeve) to get you through the holidays!

Yes, thats my location. .

Yes, mine too...I'm on day 7 of my pre op...can't say it's been horrible but this weekend was a struggle. But I only have 8 days until surgery day and I have to say that thinking of that has kept me going strong. When do you start your pre op?

      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
