I live in Lincoln- I am leaning towards surgery in North Platte- I have an appointment the end of July - it's like an all day class for out of town patients-

Meet with the medical team, billing and nutritionist-

My BCBS plan through work doesn't cover WLS, and I work in the medical field- I didn't want everyone to know that I work with-- deciding if I will even tell my work and gagging how much time I will need off-

How are you doing after surgery?? How is your recovery? Is there anything that you are surprised about?

Did you have surgery at UNMC?

I would love to follow you on your journey- sorry that I'm steps behind you- I have thought about this for years- lap band just didn't feel right-

Sleeve feels perfect for what I need to do for me.

I am 5'3-- 232

Goal for me is like 135 --when I get that number in sight- it might change-

Hopeful for a new me!!

Jansleeve1,

I had my surgery in North Platte. I had a great experience. You should request Dr. Siep. He's the best!

That's who I am requesting- he did some surgeries on my niece ,( not for weight loss) but he pretty much saved her life-

I live in Lincoln- have not heard very good things about the 3 docs here that do the surgery- my ins doesn't cover it-

I grew up in Paxton- so I will recoup a week at my moms -

Can you tell me how often your follow ups are, and do you think I could take 2 weeks off from work- or would I need more time- I don't have lifting at my job- but it is busy and I have to be up and down a lot and on my feet-

I'm debating if I tell my work HR dept and supervisor- I really don't want them to know- but if I would need more time off - I don't want to tell them later-

How do you feel like you are doing? When did you have surgery, how are you doing with eating? Do you still drink shakes at all??

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
