December Surgeries?



Recommended Posts

So, I had my sleeve done on the 13th and everything went well. I came home and filled my prescriptions and after a few days I noticed that my vision had gotten extremely blurry (I have never worn glasses aand have always had good vision) and could not see anything on my phone. My step dad is a pharmacist and he said a lot of the meds I was on could cause blurry vision especially the patch. Since I was about 5 days post op I decided to try and stop my meds to see if it helped and after about 36 hours my vision had returned. Yay! However I noticed that my vision stills gets kind of blurry and isn't as good as it was prior to my surgery. Anyone else experiencing this?

It personally didn't happen to me but I know people have posted about this before. Maybe try a search? Good luck. Hope it gets better for you

I was sleeved 12/10 & I'm miserable! I was supposed to be on full liquids but can't swallow them with out them feeling like they get stuck, so had to switch back to Clear Liquids. My main incision site hurts very bad & I honestly have had moments I've regretted doing this.. I hope I get to where others are soon because this is awful! :(

I understand and feel your pain. I was sleeved on 12/20/12. I am still in pain. I do regret this surgery. I hope it gets better for both of us:

Hi everyone, I was sleeved on December 18th and feel terrific. I only had pain one day, but today I have a little heartburn and a stuck feeling (I hope it's gas)....I am glad everyone seems to be doing well, one day at a time is what we have to do.

Hi fellow December sleevers! I was sleeved on 12/19 and I'm feeling much better. I feel a twinge of pain when I laugh or sneeze, but not as bad as a week ago. I'm returning to normal activity, but I had to take a nap this afternoon. I guess I looked tired since my DH insisted on me getting some rest. Yesterday I walked just over 3/4 of a mile (at my own pace of course) and tried to shoot some basketballs with my 8-yr old. That lasted for all of 5 minutes...

Anyway, I'm excited for what the future holds and I'm glad I'm on the losers' bench. I like how someone here said that this decision was a gift to myself and by extension my loved ones! Cheers and congrats to all for taking this important and critical step forward to longer, healthier and skinnier lives!

Itsmelee, add unflavored Unjury to your liquids (not water) to get your Proteins in. I've been adding 1-1.5 scoops and crystal light to my Water and it tastes great. You'll have to order it online. Each scoop is 21 g of Protein. Good luck!

      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
