Getting sleeved in Sept



Recommended Posts

I am also scheduled for 9/9. I had a very bad headache yesterday and tried some warm broth and it helped. Not sure if it was the warmth but I'll take it. FYI..the broth was Swanson-Mexican Tortilla soup-infused broth. Nice change from plain broth! Good luck!

Hello Pattie 1966. ,

Had my surgery yesterday with Dr Garcia st florence Oasis Hospital... The procedure went very very good. , I was informed of everything prior , then after procedure they have me pain meds . I was feeling lots of pain in stomachs because I had the revision from lap band done and they stated that there was dome scar tissue so this was the cause for the pain. But besides that everything else has been a very positive experience ! Dr Garcia and his team are wonderful and very professional , the hospital very clean and modern , The staff is constantly checking on me . Very professional . The Marriott very clean and nice , the people are do friendly. They only negative is you don't speak any Spanish they misunderstand you sometimes but they can always find someone to translate nearby .

Other than that it has been a terror experience don't you worry they take care of you from the moment you land all the way till you Go home ..

I leave from Marriott Friday am maybe we'll see each other . On that note keep the shakes going

Pattie

Regards Flashferreira. ( Steve)

Steve thank you so much for the update. I was wondering how you where doing. I'm glad it went good for you. I'm just now starting to get a little anxious about the whole thing so you have reassusred me a lot. I'm on day 11 of my pre op and I'm down 16 lbs. It hsn't been as bad as I thought it was going to be. I don't think I'm going to get to see you. I fly in on Thurs and surgery is on friday. If we dont get to meet I wish you the best with your jorney.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
