Any September 15 Sleevers out there?



Recommended Posts

Hi! I'm so excited! I finally got my surgery date and it's set for September 15th. I start the pre-op liquid diet on the 2nd. Parts of me are scared and other parts of me are excited. Anyone else out there getting sleeved on that day or around it? BTW, I'm in Illinois and using Silver Cross Hospital. Thanks. And GOOD LUCK to everyone!

I will be having my surgery at Highland Hospital by Dr. Lael Forbes. I have to still go for me pre-surgery screening.. (not sure what happens at that) .. but I call to make the appointment tomorrow! Good luck to you!

I am still very nauseous. Haven't gotten enough fluids in yet. I try to push it but then my poor tummy hurts. Hopefully it will work itself out.

I was sleeved on Monday Sept. 15 and came home yesterday Wednesday Sept 17.. I am doing really well and I'm walking to get rid of gas pains.. the gas pains are horrible and wake me up at night.. its like someone set a 50lb weight right in the middle of my breastbone.. I have not gotten all of my fluids in yet but my guess is that will come in time.. I only take pain med when I need them an am taking all of the required Vitamins etc. I'm still a bit sore but it's nothing I can't handle. I know everyone's experiences are different.. and everyone's pain tolerance levels are different too.. just wondering about the gas pains.. how are you all handling them?

I was released on Tuesday the 16th. I only had a few bouts of gas pain after I came home. Usually when I laid down in bed or when I sat up getting out of bed. I haven't had any gas pain today at all.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
