I am getting my sleeve on Tuesday and I am so worried. What if the surgeon makes a mistake or what if he´s having a bad day? All this is out of my control. Anyone else with feelings like this?

Mine is Tuesday morning too. I have to be at the hospital at 5:15 for surgery at 7:15 and I was thinking, I sure hope my surgeon is a morning person....my husband's surgery is right after mine. Maybe he should go first :)

Hi all, it's now Tuesday morning adelaide time and I was sleeved yesterday arvo. All went well, thankfully they gave me a preop cocktail to calm my nerves. Some pain last night when the nurses took ages to bring more pain relief but all good now. No nausea so far. Jus saw the doc he said I had a lot of scarring from my previous lap band but he's taken as much of my stomach as he could. Now it's just rest, sip, rest, sip. So far it's been no where near as bad as I was expecting! Hope my fellow 20th may sleevers are doing well :)

And since its my birthday, I plan on getting what I want!! Haha!

My biggest worry is that he'll give me a rny or bypass by mistake. Thinking of writing "sleeve please" on my stomach!

      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.

      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! 😞
