Getting sleeved on the 15th



Recommended Posts

Hi! My name is Rebecca, and I'm 23 years old and my HW was 224. I'm two days Pre-op and as of this morning weighing 213. All I seem to be able to think about is the Surgery. I've never had any kind of surgery before so I'm starting to get really nervous . I'm just wondering if there is anyone else here in the same boat as me?

Here's the good news. While I'm not in the same boat (being a guy old enough to be your dad OR granddad!), I have had multiple surgeries.

You have a great MD/surgeon (I assume). You are going to a great hospital with staff who know what they are doing...

So, they will prepare you, might been a special wash, maybe some 'relax me' medication, and an IV for fluids. You'll get to wear a Very Stylish gown that exposes you God and country (and you will not care). You'll chat with the anesthesiologist. They'll roll you into the OR and everyone will look like the long ranger (masks all around).

After some conversation, they'll ask if you are ready, and they YOU'll ask when do we begin, and the nurse will say, we're all over, you did just fine.

Now there will likely be some discomfort as you heal, but the staff will help. And YOU will help too by walking as much as you can!

Have fun. This is the start of your 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! 😞
