New laprascopic gastric sleeve patient



Recommended Posts

I just recently had the LGS, April 29,2013 and I actually am a week today post opt and I feel great. I feel that the sleeve was the best option for my self considering I'm trying to choose a better and healthier life style not only for my self but also my 3 children. I've been obese for 5 years and I felt that all my attempts didn't get me where I wanted nor needed. Now here I am happy as can be on my way to where I'm happy with my health. I have hypertension, as well as sleep apnea, and was border line diabetic with high cholesterol. I also was morbid obese, after 3 children it was time for a change. I'm now on my way to a new happier healthier life with my family right beside me! :)

Welcome to the sleeve side. I had mine a week before you. It's been rough getting all my fluids in and still can't get enough Protein. I still have poor stamina, but I each week has gotten better. This site is a great place to read information as you recovery and move on into maintenance. I am addicted and read here all the time!

Thank you, I'm glad I found this app on my IPad it is very beneficial. I had a hard time keeping down my fluids at first, but now I'm doing a little better. My healing is going great, but I have an appointment with my surgeon this Thursday and with my dietitian as well. So hopefully I'm doing things right. I take my Vitamins and Calcium as well. Hopefully I'll be able to keep things down and don't develope any long term problems.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
