Recommended Posts

I have moments of what did I do and moments of excitment like yesterday. My reward for the first 20 lbs was a haircut and I uzed to hate watching cuz all I saw was my double chin but yesterday it was very noticeably smaller. I also bought the cutest top from Sams , yes Sams and it was 2 sizes smaller. I tried it on at home and its gorgeous. I have my Pitt y parties but they dont last too long. I just want time to go by faster! You will get there honey

I'm walking since day one. My husband took days off from work and my sister is my neighbor. Is like this nasty feeling toke over me since yesterday. All my brain keep asking me is why I did this. But thanks to all of yall that are putting a smile on my face

I was feeling the same way! I questioned my decision and regretted it too. Not any more. It will get better. Take antacids. I had gas x which also helped. They sell the ones that dissolve on your tongue. Really helped with the gas. It will get better. Had my surgery on dec. 11th and down 35 pounds. Not regretting it now. Hang in there!

I am 5weeks out. I regretted it a lot in the beginning, but only a little now. Like everyone said... It is all getting used to it. It is hard, but you will get through it.

Sometimes our doctors don't prepare us for first few weeks after surgery. It is major surgery and you need time to recover but being sore, sick and miserable during recovery is one thing, regretting having this life changing tool is another. The week before and two weeks after were hard, but not hell. I would do it again. If you want to know hell have a hemerroidectomy- a lovely surgery that I got to experience in my 30's somewhat due to being overweight and eating awful food. Trust me you aren't going to regret this surgery when you cut up your Lane Byant card and the first time you buy size 10!! Two really good days for me! Keep your eye on the prize.

I got sleeve on Friday and I keep asking myself what I have done. I feel down. Can anyone help. I'm feeling depresse. Sleeve therapists where are you?

I felt the same way for the first month and a half. I kept thinking what have I done to myself. I cried all the time in regret. I was an emotional mess. I was soooooooo sick and in sooooo much pain for the first month or so. I had my surgery October 23 of 2012 and I just started feeling whole again not to long ago. My wow moment was when I went wedding dress shopping and I was down 6 dress sizes and could see I actually have a figure now. I looked in the mirror and saw someone who was beautiful for the first time. You will have your wow moment down the road and it will stop you in your tracks. No one can tell you when it gets better because its different for everyone. However I will promise you that if you stay on track and put your whole heart into this life change you will be happy with what you end up with.

I can even remember when I was a size 10. Can't wait looking forward. Thank you very much for the beautiful words. I'm feeling better today. Hope every day is a better day.

That's funny because I also had a hemrroidectomy and I can honestly say I completely agree that that was pure hell! I have had quite a few surgeries and nothing compares to the pain from that! I woke from surgery in excruciating pain and it literally lasted for about 3 weeks! I think if I made it through that I can make it through anything!

You had a pain in the ass for 3 weeks. Yikes. My hubby had his colon put back up into his bum bum talk about pain. This surgery is a walk in the park to that I'm sure.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
