Looking for July Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Hi Goddardgo, I'm am in Green Valley, AZ and my surgery date is July 8th. You will be amazed how fast the next few weeks will go. I'm an old lady of 58 and would be happy to be your sleeve buddy. We are in the process of moving. We just sold our house and will be living in a rental house while they build our new house until this fall. Then we are moving to Las Vegas.

@@deline23 we have the same day! Technically, I start my preop diet on the 8th, but I'm actually starting a week early to get in the swing of things. I may still have solids for dinner this week...haven't decided yet. If you haven't been added yet, you can PM me your name and I'll find you on FB so I can friend you and add you to the group. It's a secret group, so you can't search for it.

Looking for other July Sleevers! Let's help each other through this journey. I see my surgeon July 1st and if everything goes well my nurse said surgery date of July 14th. I am self pay. I checked into having the sleeve done in Mexico but decided to have it done here in Montana. I have checked into a couple of other places but really love the facility that I will be having it done at. It's been quite an adventure to say the least. I would love to share this time with fellow sleevers.

Was approved over the phone in one day and will have surgery on July 18th. I'm excited and trying to keep my anxiety down. I've had three c sections and an open repair surgery, so I'm hoping I'll handle this well. Received my Protein Shakes yesterday. Will try one tomorrow. Maybe it's my imagination, but I feel like my desire to eat is already decreasing. Anyone experienced this?

My date is July 22nd with Dr. Quinones in Tijuana, MX. I'm back and forth between nervous energy and excitement. I start partial liquids tomorrow for 7 days then full liquids for two weeks. Nerves are kicking in.

I had never heard of plication before. My surgeon won't do it. It seems like a scary way to do it but to each their own. I just don't see the benefit of that vs sleeve.

Plication has been around for about 10 years. The research I have studied has been very positive. It is not practiced in the states but as I understand it is getting ready to be approved and will then be practiced here in the states. I chose the Plication because it is less invasive and safer than having part of your stomach removed. It's proven to be just as effective on weight loss with less complications than the sleeve and lap band. With 50 lbs to lose and keep off the Plication was the best recommended procedure for me by my surgeon Dr Ariel Ortiz and he is one of the best in gastric surgery, therefore, I feel perfectly as ease with my decision.

      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...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
