Hi all - I'm in Lexington and was sleeved on 12/21 by Dr. Weiss (Bluegrass Bariatrics).

Knock on wood, I've had absolutely zero complications and have lost 60 lbs total, 13 of which were pre-op. I'm feeling really great physically although I do seem to be much more easily irritated by minor annoyances since surgery. I'm working on that....hopefully my body and hormones are as well. :)

Tiffy - I'm also on MyFitnessPal and will add you.

Hi! I was. Sleeved Feb. 18, 2013 in Georgetown, by Dr. Weiss. I am down 35 pounds. 13 were before surgery. I am feeling great. Can't wait to get more off. Just losing that much has made feel so much better. I do have some problems with eating some foods and keeping them down. chicken does work at all for me right now nor does baked potatoes.

I'm from Somerset, KY and Dr. Weiss will be doing my surgery. I have three more month of my supervised diet before they submit to my insurance. Anyone else have the 6 month diet? And how long after you finished and were approved did they schedule you for surgery? I also have to have the scope done. Do they do that pretty quickly and get you into surgery ?

I was sleeved 12/21/2011. Dr. Weiss at Central Baptist in Lexington. He is great...easy on the eyes too. lol Too bad post-op all I see is his PA. I have had nothing but a wonderful experience. I'm still learning what to eat and what not to eat even at 16 months out.

      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!!
