November Sleevesters?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I'm new to this app. I was on the gastric bypass app because I had my heart set on that surgery, but my surgeon suggested I get the sleeve instead. He said it has the same results as the bypass, but with less risk.

Surgery date is Nov. 28th wish me luck! ;)

I asked my surgeon yesterday at my pre op visit and he also does not do the barium swallow. He does the leak test right after the surgery with Water and air also. He said te barium swallow is old school and has a 50% false positive rate.

I was sleeved on the 7th and my doc does both.He does water and air at the end of the surgery before closing to test for leak. He does barium swallow next day not just for leak but to make sure sleeve is functioning as it should.

For those of us who have been sleeved this month, how is your weightloss going? I am 8 days post op today and have lost 5 lbs. Truthfully, I thought it would be more, as I weighed myself 5 days post op and was the same loss of 5lbs! I'm not eating hardly anything at all - I am trying. Just wondering if anyone wants to chime in on this.:)

Good luck to everybody having surgery! You will all do great!

Thanks George! Surgery went very well yesterday and I'm really feeling well outside if being just a little sore, but I really can't complain! Just waiting to have a smooth recovery! Heading back to Florida from Tijuana on Friday night and to finally relax in my own bed! Yippee! Thanks for all of your support to us late November sleevers and you were right; there was really nothing to worry about!

      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
