Anyone with 180 pounds doing the sleeve?



Recommended Posts

average for a female at 5' is roughly 130ish. Figure out a weight YOU feel comfortable with and make that your goal. It is achievable if you do the work.. Don't expect the sleeve to be a fix it all.. it is a HUGE tool to help, but you have to work it for it to work for you.

You're 5 feet tall, 180 pounds, 35 BMI, and lost 7 pounds on a 10 day liquid diet, right?

I predict...65-70 pounds.

That'll be 20 dollars. :huh:

Kidding. :D

Don't panic about loosing a ton of weight on the liquid diet. You will lose some, but it's mostly to shrink your liver. Once you are sleeved, you will do great as long as you stick with it and make the best food choices you can..

I am 5'1" and 185 and I am getting sleeved on July 16th. I can't seem to loose more than 15pounds and I can't keep that off more than a few months at a time. I have lower back problems, SEVERE sleep apnea and hypertension.

My sister died at 24, she was 450+lbs, her sleep apnea caused her heart to enlarge and cause a heart attack in her sleep. Her autopsy showed all of that and the final cause of death was: morbid obesity.

I don't want to die and my family have to have an autopsy done because they don't know what caused my death, I don't want to die young, and I don't want my health to deteriorate sooner than it should. I am having this surgery and I believe it's the right thing to do!!!!

Wow, I am very sensitive and I am on tears right now...:-( I can relate totally with you, most of my family is obese too, I want to change that circle, and be able to move around ...my small son is only 9th and I don't play with him because of my back pain or take him to the park because my severe incontinence does not allow me to be outdoors I need a restroom every hour. Its so sad to be stock.. Hopefully this decision will help us to have a more enjoyable life..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
