May Sleevers! Almost there!



Recommended Posts

Hey guys and gals! My surgery is on May 20th, 2013. I am 21 years old, 5'4 230 lbs looking to loose 100lbs. I got approved by United Health Care April 5th, my surgeon is Dr.Beth SCHROPE over at Columbia University! I am super excited and I can't wait to get sleeved. I can't wait until the day my sleep apnea gets better, I wake up refreshed and not tired.. and I can feel comfortable in my own skin.

My surgery date is May 14th. I start my 2 week liquid diet Tuesday. 5 shakes a day only for 2 weeks is not going to be fun...I've already apologized to my co-workers :)

Hi Jen (from another Jen :D )

We have similar stats. I'm 5'4 and 1/2 and weigh 240. My tentative date is May 21st. I won't know until my final appointment with the surgeon, but that's the date I'm shooting for. I have my endoscopy tomorrow and I'm so nervous about that (more than surgery - go figure!) I have to do my pre-op diet for 1 week and that consists of Protein shakes and Clear liquids with the last 48 hours on just Clear Liquids.

There is another thread called "Where are all the May Sleevers" and there are alot of us May sleevers. Just in time for Summer:) I've got my Florida vacay all planned for September, YAY :D

I'm also starting liquid diet on may 6th and surgery is the 20th. Myself and 2 other ladies have started texting each other for moral support. We are all the 20th. Just thought it would be helpful if we were overcome with anxiety or nerves. lol Message me if you're interested.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
