Getting Sleeved March 28th. Anyone else?



Recommended Posts

Having my sleeve done on the 28th and being scoped on the 18th. I think I'm more nervous about the scope than the surgery itself. Anyone else in the same boat?

My surgery is the 28th as well. No scoping for me though! Why are you having it done?

The endoscopy?

Yes, the endoscopy. Does it depend on aspects of your health history?

I needed an endoscopy as part of my pre-op testing. They found 2 polyps on my stomach that they gave medicine for no biggie. They put me under, I remember nothing but waking up and telling the nurse she had a great haircut lol. My throat was a little sore the rest of the day but that's all. I'm a total baby. I

Ok, so it's routine in some practices. I haven't heard a word about it from either my PCP or my surgeon. Interesting......

I will be having surgery on March 29th. Happy to finally have insurance authorization. I'm excited, but I also anticipate some nervousness as the date approaches.

Good luck to you both!

Mine is part of pre-op testing. Along with a stress test.

My surgery is scheduled or March 18. It was originally scheduled or the 11th but had a little hiccup with my secondary insurance. So they had to push it back a week I am so excited just a few more days to go!!! I started this process January 2012 so it has been a long year.

I did pre-admit at the hospital on Tuesday! They ran all sorts of test which I assume where fine as I haven't heard anything back from the doctor!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
