Anyone else getting sleeved in August?



Recommended Posts

I survived!! Came out of surgery with no complications. It didn't seem real until I was actually in the OR. Ive got a ton of pressure under my collar bones. Its the gas. And of course my incisions hurt, Other than that pain I'm good. Easier than expected but ive been sleeping a lot. Wishing for a speedy recovery to all the other 8-12-13.sleevers ;)

Well I made it through surgery and my first night! Just really tired but I've been doing my walking and breathing and they have me sitting up and sipping broth. One question for those others did you have an indention in you tummy?

I'm really tired too. Ive been sleeping off and on throughout the day. My husband and mom told me my stomach looks smaller already. Like an indentation, but we found out after the survey that I a hurnia that he had to repair so I'm guessing that's why.

I just had surgery Aug. 8 and feeling actually pretty great I thought it was goes to be alot worst pain wise. Hardest pain for me were the gas pains. But now im experiencing them a lot less now. And I found that warm liquids ( broth ) were alot easier to go down than lets say jello....!! Good luck to all!!

I'm in Cali. Had a great surgeon. Great staff. Ive heard this before but I didn't really believe that we'll gain weight after surgery... I gained 5.3 lbs. In less than one day! All the IV fluids...

I finally have my surgery date (8/14) and I am beyond excited. Looking for some sleeve buddies to go through this process with. I have been making changes already and so far so good. I have increased my activity level and stopped drinking Diet Dr Pepper' date=' which was a huge change for me. What is everyone else doing to prepare? Does anyone who is post op have any helpful tips for things to have on hand after surgery?[/quote']

I will be praying for you :-) are you ready??? How excited!! Mine is on the 22. Good luck.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
