What is it that you hate the most about being sleeved.



Recommended Posts

Mine personally is being dehydrated. I love Water. So my goal is having to pee clear. But it's not impossible. I have 5 days out of surgery and I hate seeing orange when I go use the ladies room. Ooo and being constipated too. :-\:-[

The one thing that I dont like, although it is probably what normal people do, is having to think about everything that I eat and making it count. Although I am hard pressed to find anything that I dont like about my sleeve. I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!!!!

I dont hate anything. Even the Hair loss is something I don't take negatively. The sleeve has been my lifeline to such a better life. So I just don't dwell on my hair.

I'm very fortunate and have not had any issues what so ever.

Or people taking behind your back because you decided to change. I don't know if I should tell them truth about being sleeved or let them talk all they want. The sucky part is I paid my surgery. I told one of " my best friend" and now everyone is saying I should have money. I have a long story to say ... But my husband passed away a year ago. And left me in his life insurance and since then all his family has hate me. I just wish he was alive to avoid all this drama n heartache. I'm doing this for me and no-one else.

I'm do to have surgery on 7/22/13 and I have to be honest my biggest fear is being constipated. But overall from what I've read I have nothing to worry about, it has been a positive decision to have the surgery.

Thank you for the information.

I love everything! But I do agree I'm not a fan on the judgement from others.

The judgement IS the worst. @vane86. I'm so sorry for your loss & your husband's family's reaction. This is a hard enough personal struggle without having to add hateful inlaws, coworkers, neighbors or people you thought were your friends. I couldn't imagine doing this without my husband. He's been a gem! He told me I was always gorgeous, I'm just showing off now. LOL. I LOVE that man!

Yes I wish he was alive to support me. But thank God my parents are the ones helping me. Through it all they are the only ones who stay true.

Vane86, I am so sorry for your loss of your husband. It seems to me that it would be natural for your husband to leave you everything. You are his wife.

Good for you for doing something to take care of your health! I wish you the best!!

The only thing I dislike is the random questions I get from people I didn't tell. I told a couple friends & it spread like wildfire. Very disappointing.

I also hate the judgement. It isn't the easy way out-

Same thing happened to me. I teach at a small school and told one other teacher (who I found out has a big mouth) and I had to tell my principal due to the time off I took and now I think everyone there knows. Oh well, I guess it saves me having to answer so many questions when I return in August and hopefully look a lot different!

I refused to tell my coworkers because I don't feel like its their business but I had to tell my boss. Whenever my coworkers ask me what I'm doing, I tell them my nutritionist put me on a diet. My family knows and that's about it. I like to keep my business to myself.

I agree. I only told 4 people - my husband, my parents, and my trainer. No one else needs to know. I don't necessarily feel like I need to hide it, but I have NO interest in the judgment of others. People at my work are whispering, but only one person has actually come out & said anything. She didn't even ask, just said "I hope you know you're just going to gain it all back."

I just smiled - what do I care what she thinks? I'll be laughing on my way to a healthy weight!!

      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!
