May sleevers results so far!



Recommended Posts

May 22nd was my surgery date.

HW 324 (147kg)
SW 308 (139kg)
CW 230 (104kg)

I seem to lose in waves and I still find them frustrating. I was hoping by the 6month mark that I'd at least hit 215 but it seems unlikely. I will lose nothing at all for 2-4weeks no matter what I try and then I will lose several kilograms in quick succession. But it's coming off and staying gone so I try to focus on that and just hope it will continue to come down and I will eventually reach my goal!

I've not been able to get onto this site for quite some time, it's good to be able to see how others are going that were sleeved at a similar time again! :)

I've been stuck right at 258-260 for the last 6-8 wks. I'm getting really nervous that I'm running out of time! If I don't start losing weight again I'm afraid this is where I will stay. Anyone else feel like this? SW: 318 CW: 258

Yes, I feel like the honeymoon period may only last six months for me and not 18. So far I have had no long stalls but know one has to come soon. Then I plan to start the strength training to burn a few more calories and tighten things up a bit.

Sleeved May 21st and finally made it to 4 stone off (British) which is 56lbs. Not amazing compared to most of you but I'll take it

I'm starting to experience dumping which is the worst thing ever and feels like you are dying even from a few mouthfuls of Thai food! So that's another thing I can't eat.

I've still got 50lbs to lose so I'll crawl along and hope I get there.

I have been stalled and bouncing you and down with the same two pounds for two months now. This time of the year is a killer for me because depression sets in so I crave bad carbs and exercise becomes more difficult with all of the dark hours. For me it has been fairly easy until now. New I need to work for it.

May 22nd was my surgery date.

HW 324 (147kg)
SW 308 (139kg)
CW 221-229 (100-104kg)

For the last few weeks I have bounced around between 221 (100kg) to 229lb (104kg) and when usually it doesn't bother me too much, since passing the 6 month mark I am starting to panic!

I am still exercising and eating as I was told to but I have started a new job and my only conclusion is the varying hours throwing my body out of whack! I work 9 hours shifts but they can be at any time, so maybe the whole eating dinner at midnight thing isn't something my body responds well to!

Has anyone else experienced this past 6 months and continued to lose? Although my body has done this all the way along- I can lose and gain for ages and then over the span of a week I will lose all the gain plus a few and continue on a new (lower) bouncing weight range! Granted, the weight range that I jump between isn't usually 4+kg, it's usually one or two.

I have a follow-up with my surgeon in a weeks time so I am hoping that either my weight has shifted again or he can give me some advice on what I can do to keep things moving!

SW 301 5/28/13

CW 214.2

Last month has been a real struggle. Stayed roughly at the same weight for 6-8 weeks. NUT says my goal is 180. Dr moved out of the practice, so not sure about finding a new one. I know what I need to do, just have to do it.

First, I moved this thread to the May 2013 forum. Hope nobody minds. :)

I've lost 70 pounds, along with losing diabetes and several clothing sizes, since May 14 2013. I went from morbidly obese to simply overweight. I now run over 15 km per week. I can fit in a plane sets with room and half the seat belt left over. I can eat any food. I have excellent restriction. Really I could not be happier. I feel so blessed.

Quick update, had my six month checkup and NUT/surgeon were very pleased with my progress and was 204lbs on their scale. She said to just keep up with the same diet and no alterations suggested. That was two weeks ago and today weighed in at 199lbs so managed to reach onederland six and a half months after the surgery and have a BMI of 27 which is amazing to me. Waist down to 38 now from 56 and jacket from XXXL to M. People at work who have not seen me for a year do not recognize me till I talk to them. Managed to survive the office Christmas party and still register a small drop in weight this week. Good luck to all May sleevers over the rest of the holiday season.

It's been about 7 months since surgery. I'm about 11 lbs. from goal, which I might revise after reaching. Even though my weight loss may be slow compared to others, I only had 70 lbs. to lose. No sagging skin thus far, which is a big bonus for me. The sleeve is definitely working:)

      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
