New Here and Pre-Op



Recommended Posts

Hi Everybody,

You have no idea how glad I am to have found this site. I am pre-op scheduled to be sleeved on April 16th or earlier. I am almost done with all the stuff needed to submit to insurance and if all goes well, I may be sleeved in March, but at the latest April 16th. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. This will be something great for me. I have been overweight for over 20 years. It's horrifying to me and I need this to eliminate a lot of problems in my life.

It is so great to read these posts about like people and if I could I would put a great big hug around everyone here. I will be posting as things are prepping and also my successes after the sleeve. I have questions I will probably be posting too.

So glad I am here,

Kriss

I'M APPROVED! I'M APPROVED!!! Got the call last Thursday. I have been rescheduled to March 7th. Only two weeks and four days. I start the liquid diet on the 21st FOUR DAYS!! I am beside myself. I seriously did not think insurance would approve it. I am not a very optimistic person sometimes. Something always happens to burst my bubble. But not this time. I have been gathering what I will need for the liquid diet. I am going to rock this thing. Can't wait for Thursday. I know that sounds crazy, but anything to prep me for the surgery I will do in spades. Look out world, I'm comin' tra la tra la

      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! 😞
