Ready for Band to disappear and get sleeved



Recommended Posts

Hello all!

My sleeve surgery is scheduled for May 22nd and I am very nervous about getting sleeved. I'm nervous about the recovery, nervous about failing, nervous about the surgery itself. My surgeon's staff says it's the best decision I could have every made. Luckily, Aetna approved the surgery within 7 business days; lucky and not so lucky.

I am incredibly anxious and unable to stop thinking about my future surgery.

I already bought a heating pad and Gas X strips, and am searching for the perfect hospital clothes and stuffy (stuffed animal).

I'm so preoccupied with my surgery that I am finding it difficult to focus on anything else. I also stocked up on my Protein drinks!

Any guidance or advice would be most appreciated, meanwhile I will keep combing the forum.

Have a splendid day.

oh yes, i remember the change in taste buds from before. I only drink the premier Protein shakes in vanilla and chocolate; 30 grams of Protein and one gram of sugar.

I'm willing to give Gas X a try because there have been favorable reviews. I also already have baby spoons i use and tiny little bowls.

many thanks for the advice...it's definitely a new adventure!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
