October Sleevers - Who else



Recommended Posts

Thank you MWS, SuperK, Ren, and LTC7!! Our Oct people rock!! Ren, I'm so sorry you're having trouble and have to have further surgery. Make sure to keep us updated. When did the food problems start? I'm definitely going to go for my EGD my doctor recommends 6-12 months post to check everything and make sure it's ok. I would've thought the food intolerances were normal too. I'm sorry :)

Hey Barb :-) Well, honestly I though the sensativity to food was normal, I guess to sensative though. I'd day it started around Dec/Jan. Got the call today and go in tomorrow morning at 5:45am for further testing. I'll be put asleep fully as they go in and take a look and see exactly what it is that needs to be done from the two options they have. Ultimately I will have the final say, and be getting a second opinion. Staying positive :-)

Congrats Biglew! Fantastic achievement!

In my news, today I am no longer obese!! Being overweight with a BMI of 29.9 is still not great but it's an awful lot better than where I started at a BMI of 45. So glad to be free of the awful stigma that comes with the word 'obese', too!

I am awaiting surgery date. Confirmed yesterday that my stomach is now twisted. It is a result from losing so much to quickly. My body adjusted great to the surgery and I lost a lot quick. When this happens it is a risk I guess. Awaiting surgery date and it's pretty much getting the sleeve all over again, plus more. They will go in, take staples out, re staple and attach the new pouch to tissues me the wall of stomach to prevent any twisting. Hospital stay averages 2 or three days and same pre op and post op diet as when I originally got sleeved. Stressed and anxious but keeping the positive attitude of 'everything happens for a reason'. Thanks for everyone's support and I'll keep you updated when I get my surgery date.

I'm sorry to hear that but I am glad they know the problem and have a plan to fix it. I'm in the uk so not sure about how it works in the us - will you have to pay for this? :(

Hi Mary! It will be billed to my insurance AFTER the surgery is done. It is medically required so I am hoping they will, if not I'm sure they will cover at least 80% of it, and if that's the case that will leave me with a bill after they cover the 80% of about $3,000. It's needed so have to do what I have to do!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
