I'm Sleeved! Today was the day!



Recommended Posts

Had the operation this morning. All went very well and I am watching the NCAA Tournament in my room. I should get out of the hospital tomorrow around noon.

Few notes...

First surgery ever. It wasn't anywhere as bad as i thought it would be. It went so smoothly.

I met a girl. Her name is Morphine. She was been great but I am thinking about breaking off with her soon. I think we both knew this would not be long term.

The notes on here about what to bring were amazing and very helpful.

Finally...I am sooooo EXCITED!!!!

feeling great today! should be going home in a couple of hours. slept really well last night. only scary part was arriving at the hospital you until I went under in the operating room. I am pretty sure that was just the fear of the unknown getting the best of meme, as I have never had surgery before. Pain level ha been very tolerable.

This has been a great experience!

I am convinced that this is the best decision I have ever made for myself

      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... :(
