Looking for sleeve buddy in Houston Area surgery was 12/04/13



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on 12/04/2013 and doing really well so I thought. But now my mind is starting to play tricks on me. You fill as though you can eat more than you really can and boom it hits you quickly. You are so full that even one bite more will cause that uncomfortable filling that doesn't go away for some time. Does anyone else that this issue if so what did you do?

Mine is Dr. Turnquest at Houston Methodist Willowbrook excellent doctor. I am almost 5 weeks out and have hit plateau for about 1 week now. My daughter had her surgery on 12/11/13 lost 24 lbs and I have lost 18 lbs. I'm not sure if it is an age thing since we eat about same thing. But we have follow up tomorrow will see what is going on at that time. I feel great more energy and walking on treadmill moving around much more. I'm not sure if not eating enough Protein to many carbs or what is going on. :( But enjoying changes that are taking place. Talk to you soon.

I feel exactly the same way. My nutritionist said I am over eating and eating too quickly. I have not found the trick to slow down yet :(

      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!

      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!!
