January 2014 Sleevers Come In!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm being revised from a band to sleeve Jan 16 in NJ. I go to Drs 12/18 for preop work. I onlty told a few people about the band and only 2 about the sleeve. I lost a grand total of 35 lbs with the band and gained all but 10 back. Can't wait to get started, what a way to begin the year!!

I got my date! January 14th with my pre-op December 20th. Holy cow! My only concern is that I have gained weight since i last saw him. I pray the doctor doesn't reschedule me!

I know it's a longshot, but are there any other nursing mommies? I am still nursing my 17 month old and am hoping to continue to do so after surgery.

My husband works offshore and we have 3 daughters . . . hoping I can work it out so he can be at home with the girls and my mom will come out with me. I added you both as a friend - finers crossed. . . hope all goes well!! :)

Well fingers crossed. (Im still waiting on insurance which kicks in, in January) that my date will be the 13th of jan. I have pretty much everything done just need my psych and classes besides the ekg scope and such. I already have had the class before and have seen a psych before too. But that was last year. Im hoping and praying that this year will be the winner. Just wish my friend could have it done the same day :-(

      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!

        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!!
