3 year sleeve anniversary celebration



Recommended Posts

How can one measure happiness or measure ongoing happiness?

Making good choices in life.

Major step taken 3 years ago yesterday by self paying for VSG surgery as an outpatient in US (after being denied by insurance) and had over 80% of my stomach removed. Sleeve gave me a great tool to battle my obesity. So at three years out, I can assure you I made a good or dare I state fabulous choice. Today weighed in at 6 pounds below surgeons goal still well in range of healthy BMI. Yes, I am healthy & take my suppliments & follow up with surgeon annually while still attending a bi-monthly support group here in SoCal

While I can babble on about the benefits of my choice, let me assure you

I have no regrets & LOVE MY SLEEVE

Thank you to each of my fellow vetrans who encourage, support and have imparted valuable information. You have made me a victor.

I'm so ecstatic about the amount of LONG TERM SLEEVERS who are stepping up on VSG! LOTS of three years and above vets now!

Imparting to others what we have gleaned through the process, as FYE says, the good the bad and the ugly, is so important to ALL of our continued success.

Congratulations to you! You should be extremely proud!!!

Congrats Legal!

I am always so happy to see vets check in . If it weren't for those of us who are happy sleevers eating whatever we want in small portions, those newbies would not get to know how great life can be!

Congratuations on 3 years, but also on doing a great job in mainenance!

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
