I was sleeved almost 4 months ago. I've lost 46 lbs. I probably could lose more if I actual exercise. I have had my ups & downs especially with food but at the end I don't regret having this surgery. Good luck to all of you sleevers!!

Hi I am getting sleeved one week from today. I started to do liquids today but was starving all day. I had to have a lean dinner. I am on thyroid meds so that makes me really hungry. One week from today. Very excited.

I feel you Nett (sleeve sister)! I take insulin which increases my hunger. This head hunger business is the worse!

I'm having mine done on August 19th' date=' and an incredibly excited! I'm trying to be better about my eating (a big step for me, as I love junk food) and today when I realized I needed groceries, I put on the brand new walking shoes I bought yesterday, threw on my backpack, and walked a mile to the store! Whatever I purchased, I carried home on my back or in a bag. :) In this crazy heat, the sweat ran like rain, my friend! LOL!

Anyway, eating better and going to try to walk 45 min (at least) 5 days a week. :) I'm new to the site and would love some new friends to go through the process with too!

Good luck![/quote']

I'm scheduled for Aug 19 too.excited and nervous!

My date is August 19th and I can't wait!! However, I want to increase or maintain my level physical activity but am finding it difficult with this pre op diet. Hopefully I won't be so fatigued in a few days.

Another 19th'er like me whoop whoop! It sounds like we are at nearly the same place with the pre op diet as well. I know it will be worth it, but it is tough going right now.

Mine is the 19th as well. However my blood pressure numbers have the surgeon worried. It was 140/100 but only at my primary care doc office. At EDG yesterday it was 160/83 and my 2nd PCP it was 140/89! I am starting the pre-op in hopes that it helps lower my pressure. I go back to my PCP on Monday..if its not lowered, surgeon won't do the surgery.

Pray for me please.

This is my first post ever! I have been reading forums here for months and finally decided to take the social plunge and join. My date is 8/13. I am on day 7 of liquid diet. My surgeon is Dr. Northrup in Cincinnati. I am eaten up with anxiety & excitement. 2 days left to work and then off for 3 weeks! Anyone else 8/13?

We have the same date and surgeon! Small world lol

It is tough but it's something that has to be done. All my pre-op stuff is done, just gotta finish my last 10 days of this.

      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
