Just revd a call the hospital wants another cardiac clearence letter seen it has to be within 30 days of surgery and the 18th is around the corner. I believe it will not be a issues since my heart doctor was the one who referred me for weight loss surgery and he wrote one before, but its been a while and my surgery date got changed from May 28th...So its just one other way of making sure I'm ok for surgery and I'm cool with that...glad they caught it!!!!

Taking, I'm not June anymore. After submitting all that was required, per insurance list, they called the office and added 2 things. I now have to get pulmonary and cardiac clearances before I can be approved. Did i mention i have zero pulmonary history? Then my doctor is scheduling a month out. Oh well. By a miracle, I got a pulmonary appointment in 2 days. Today I have my last hurdle, the stress echo for the cardiac clearance. I'm hoping now for July, but I will be keeping up with you June sleepers:). I'm excited for you. Elaine

Hi all!

Was sleeved Tues 06/04. Doing Well. Hospital staff and surgeon were wonderful. In some discomfort from incisions. My main problem is the heartburn. I never had it in my life, but boy am I making up for lost time! My bariatric RN called to check on me today and she said that the Isopure causes the heartburn. I only have one more day on that, then my Protein shakes. So I can tough it out! It is hard to get down all that liquid!

Blessings to all my sleeve siblings!

I was sleeved on June 3rd, and I'm feeling great! I have lots of energy, and I'm able to drink a little more fluids each day. I didn't have to do a pre-op diet, and I'm down a total of 10 pounds so far.

I was sleeved June 5th no gas pain and tolerable incision pain. The only thing that kept me up last night/this morning was my arms had this burning pain. Feeling much better. How are you all doing with your liquid intake ? I don't seem to have room in my new stomach!

My surgery is Wednesday, too. Diet has gone well. Down 5 as of this morning. As for calm....mine is breaking. Starting to get nervous. I can do this!!!

I'm with you on that one, I go in Wednesday as well and I'm getting very nervous. I thought i would be good seeingthat I have had surgery before, but I think the thing that is scaring me is the thought of the change.

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
