Wow, the difference is awesome! Keep up the good work. I see you were sleeved by Dr. Rantis, I was sleeved by Dr. Guske (on 12/5) at the same office.

nice! how did you like dr guske? i loved dr rantis. i saw guske in the hospital. i didnt like that we never saw them after surgery. only the PA's. but oh well. something i never thought to ask when i originally saw the dr's. how are you feeling?

I LOVE Dr. Guske. Every time I was feeling anxious or scared, he was so comforting and I immediately felt better. Dr. Guske visited me in the hospital and I had been having trouble getting fluids in and started getting a little down about it but he came in and told me everything I was feeling was normal and to try warm liquids instead. It worked, I tried warm liquids and was able to get my fluids in. His bedside manner is awesome, I felt immediately better after seeing him. My first postop appointment I did see a PA but my next appointment is with Dr. Guske.

I feel wonderful, great, fantastic. I love my sleeve! Im 4 weeks post op in 2 days and on most regular foods now. Im just addicted to fish currently. Its so high in Protein and delicious. i dont like wasting my sleeve space for minimal Protein. i drink more liquids (usually Decaf tea) than I did prior to being sleeved. Discovered Fiber gummies because I had some Constipation issues a couple of times but not since taking the Fiber gummies.

yeah, he came in to see me after i failed my lead test. i think the nurses knew i was freaked out and he came in to calm my nerves. said that some people swell worse than others. i was one of those others and stayed in for 4 days until swelling went down.

glad you are dong great!

Whoa sorry to hear you failed your leak test :( 4 days sure seems like forever. I was in for 2 1/2 days and didnt think I could do one more overnight. Went in on Wednesday first thing and released Friday night.

It's okay. I had so much swelling in my sleeve that the contrast would not leave my esophagus. Had my surgery on a Monday left there Thursday night about 6pm. All seems ok now though ;-)

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
