But what is it actually for… I'm still confused.

It's a calibration tube that's used as a guide for the surgeon so that they make your sleeved stomach the correct size. They put it down your throat and into your stomach and then the surgeon cuts the stomach around it. The bigger the bougie, the more of your stomach that is left. Here's a YouTube link that explains it in detail.

I am on my pre-surgery diet. Failed to stick it today so disappointed with my self. Haven't lost much since starting a week ago initially only lost 1 kg then gained almost 2 kg sticking to diet. Think my body doesn't know what is happening. Looking forward to next Friday. When surgery is done. Please I need a buddy for support.

BMI 38

Height 1,62cm

Weight current 96.9 kg

Goal weight 60-62kg

Your prayers and support is appreciated and this forum have been life saver.

God bless and good luck to all the March Sleevers

Sunette:)

Hi everyone. Praying those being sleeved today. It's 445 am here. I'm sitting on my sofa with a numb feeling. My surgery is @ 0930. Rather I report then but surgery @ 1130. I'm so nervous. Seeing all of your posts have really gotten me through some of my anxieties but not all. I'm just a ball of nerves right now.

Hang in there, those are the longest 5 hours of your life, you will be fine! Just think of the outcome after the rain is over!

You guys are my lifeline right now. Nausea was so bad so i stopped pain meds. Ouch. I get waves of pain in my chest & shoulders. I came home yesterday, but couldnt eat anything. This morning, ive mixed an Isopure powder shake & have had a few sips. Not sure if thats going to stay down. I hope so. Also have a slight fever - it hovers between 99 & 99.4. I think i need to take my pain but so afraid of the bad nausea. I will call doctor & ask for the zofram. Thanks for your replies! Please tell me that its going to get better. lol

I was sleeved 3/13. I came home today & im jist overwhelmed by nausea. Ugh! Did snyone else have it? How long did it last? Any tips?

I had it so bad I stayed in the hospital 4 days, plus they sent me home with two prescriptions for it. But once I finally came home it stopped.

It's going to alright. I'm sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. You are going to do great. If you still have some anxiety, you can also ask them to give you something to calm your nerves. Keep us posted. Hugs and prayers!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
