Any 2014 June Sleevers



Recommended Posts

@ Jazma: I had my lapband removed last April. I was scheduled to have the bypass at the same time but changed my mind the morning of the surgery and just had the band removed. I gained about 35 lbs since it was removed, which Dr. says is quite good for typical weight gain after is much more. At any rate I feel really good about the sleeve and can't wait Till June 5th when I get mine. Good Luck to you! :)

Also, Do any of u take Probiotics? Last year before my surgery I went to costco and bought " Advance Probiotic 10" By Nature's Bounty. They are capsules and give u 10 probiotic Organisms and 20 Billion Live Probiotic Cultures. Of course being concerned about surgery, it was important to me to give myself a boost in my recovery process, so I started up on these two weeks before. Right after surgery I broke the capsules apart and them in my Water. On my follow up visit after my surgery my Dr said I had so much scar tissue and removing my band was a challenge. He was surprised I had no complications but I believe it's my secret gem, these Probiotics that made the difference. Needless to say I just bought some more to prepare for this surgery as well... ;)

I'm scheduled for band removal to sleeve on 6/18. I've started sampling different Vitamins and Protein Shakes so I'll be ready. The closer my date gets here the more nervous I'm getting.

I had my pre op appt last week. I have to do the liquid diet for 2 days before surgery plus two weeks after surgery. I haven't sampled any shakes yet and I am so scared to have this surgery that part of me wants to back out. Can anyone recommend some good Protein shakes to try? I have heard alot of good things about powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powders. Those have been reviews that I have read online. Thanks!

I just ordered a starter pack from Unjury...a sample pack from Jay Robb....and a sample pack from Chike Nutrition. The names were recommended in another thread, so I wanted to share!

I am scheduled for June 4th also!! I am starting to get so nervous! I am glad to have found this group so we can help each other out. My nutritionalist didn't say I had to do a pre-op liquid diet but just to make sure I ate very light foods during the week before my surgery. Any recommendations? I am getting so nervous yet excited at the same time!

Hi Everyone! I live in Southern California will have my surgery on 6/4 as well. I've been going through the approval process/requirements for about 8-9 months...each month I am ready for the surgery but another delay just adds to my fear...I keep telling myself...am I really going through with this? I guess we all have our fears...I originally lost 30 pounds and met the md and was ready to go insurance delays started my anxiety and I even started have "buffet nightmares" with me eating the most delicious food and never getting full.(including the porn music in background...bow chicky wow won..crazy but true.) Also not looking forward to looking like a bald egg once my hair starts dropping in clumps....I can kick myself for gaining and now I plan on doing a 3 shake/day and broth diet until surgery...I have been following a few of my favorite vets who have become my inspiration: lil miss diva, Cowgirl Jane, Lipstick lady, and they are not only beautiful people but have been an inspiration to me....can't wait to get to the other side..sooner the better...

Yeah I have been trying to get this surgery for years but my insurance will not cover it even though I've had countless doctors try to fight it and prove that it's "medically necessary"! It is so ridiculous! So now I decided to just go in and do self pay and guess what... Only about three months later, BOOM I'm scheduled for surgery already. It's sad how much money talks but insurances don't want to consider this a serious surgery that is sometimes needed! Anyone else out there self paying? I'm a little nervous about it cause I guess if there are complications my insurance won't help me with any of that either :/

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
