Hello! My name is Bethany and I'm 21 years old and in the middle of the process of getting the sleeve. I'm from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. I live on the Coast. ☀

Just wondering if y'all had any advice for me.

Thanks!

Hi Bethjcamp,

congratulations and welcome to the site. The advice I would give to you is to start that pre surgery diet as soon as possible and start exercising NOW. It will make the recovery process easier and will jump start your weight loss which makes everything much easier. The second advice I would give you is to follow your doctor's advice to the letter and you will be successful. I wish I had done this surgery when I was younger. You will be so pleased. Good luck to you.

Janet

Hi there! I live near Meridian, MS. I was sleeved on 9/24/13 and doing really well so far. I'm headed to Jackson for training all next week-anyone want to meet for a 'lite' dinner?

Hi Msj9, I just saw your post today. Anytime you are in Jackson let me know. I would love to meet up with you. Did you have your surgery in Jackson? I am 4 weeks out and still learning my way through this process but doing very well. Who was your doctor? Hope to hear from you.

Janet

Hi! I had my surgery at Singing River Hospital in Pascagoula and my surgeon was Dr Avera. If you send me your email I will let you know when I'm back in Jackson.

Missj9, I also have Dr Avera and when I have my surgery I'll also be having it at Singing River. He did my moms surgery about 8 years ago when she had the band done. That is so cool that someone close to my area had/having it done. ????

Hi everyone,

I'm Dee, originally from Louisiana , living in Diamondhead now. I am one week post-op. I had my LapBand conversion to Sleeve. Was wondering when you were able to eat seafood, like crawfish or oysters? How much before your full. I'm still on full liquids still, but know I will really miss seafood :)

They are really great folks to work with. I am so glad I chose them for this journey. I hope to meet you at the support group meeting on April 10th. I'm headed down there for my 6-month checkup! I'll be thinking of you as you enter this portion of your special journey :)

. I was eating regular food (chopped very fine) at two weeks post-op. Shrimp... At six-months out I can eat 2 jumbo shrimp and no sides at one time. You'll learn how to enjoy those foods and it won't bother you that you can't eat too much-as long as the plate is small! I still have trouble if my plate is too big for my stomach!

I gave no limitations right now other than my Protein intake.

Keep us posted on your recovery.

My surgery was at the same Hospital, how many weeks did you have to wait before going to gym?

The only restriction I had was a 20lb> lifting restriction. I was supposed to be walking right away. The lifting restriction was over by week 6 I believe.

      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.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
