Anyone else getting sleeved in August?



Recommended Posts

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.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
