FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved



Recommended Posts

Is it just me or does your belly button look different post op. I hope I'm not being paranoid but it looks like my belly button is in a complete different place and it isn't as deep.

They didn't go through my belly button, but I've had surgeries that did and mine is totally different and more shallow and distorted... I'll never rock a bikini so I'm not too worried :)

Hey everyone. I am ready to go but my surgeon is suggesting I do the sleeve instead of bypass. Is it true that sleeve patients loose weight much slower and it's able to stretch much easier?

Everyone is different, the future risks of malnutrition and restriction on meds you can use later, added with the fact that the part of your stomach left behind can't be accessed after surgery- I opted to sleeve.

My bmi was low for the surgery, only 36. I was 5'7 240#, sleeved 2/28- down 24# as of today...not even 4 weeks out. (That's all post-op loss)

Good luck whatever your decision is, and congrats on your new life ahead!! :)

Going in on 2/14. I'm down 25 lbs from pre-op dieting that started on 1/31.

Wow, please share your preop diet! I'm scheduled for 4/21 and planning to start the diet 4/1

Actually it is the opposite. Bypass patients can stretch their pouch. Initially there may be a difference in how quickly weight is lost with the sleeve vs. RnY. However the gap between percentage of excess weight lost between the two procedures is narrowing.

      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
