8 Days To Go To My Gastric Sleeve Plication Surgery!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I found this site by pure accident, I was looking up gastric band with plication on google and went to lap band talk and the last thread said to come over here, so here I am.

I was banded in Nov 08, and I lost 85 lbs and now I am down 55lbs. I actually went in to see my Dr about having a sleeve done, and he says "look at this new procedure I am starting to do". We talked about it, I researched it, and I have decided to do it! When I talked to him on the 2nd he had done his first plication, and I'm curious as to how many he's done since.

I have been reading all the post here, about when you had to start going on a liquid diet, and most was 2 days before. They wanted me to do it 2 weeks before, and the stuff I got from them is okay, it's all high in Protein, shakes, bars, and Soup. I have been STARVING! I finally decided I would eat one real meal a day, high in Protein. I really wanted that last meal though Thursday night, but I guess I better not :(.

I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I want to loose 150lbs, and I hope that I have made the right decision.

8 days to go, guess we will see!

Hi Doodle. I also had to do the 2 week Protein Shake diet before surgery. I could have up to four Protein Shakes a day. My physician indicated that it helped reduce the size of your liver which made the surgery easier to do. It was tough, but keep at it. All the best.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
