Recommended Posts

I'm a little scared. I'm worry about silly things like not using a straw anymore.

I'm going to miss drinking with a straw too. I'm worried about my sinus headaches, they are hard to deal with. The med that works best is a tablet.

Dr said I should be able to take it hopefully. Maybe the sinus problem will clear up.

I am scheduled for December 30th, but I am not sure I am boing to be able to do follow through with it then. Work is getting super hectic and I was just out for a different surgery for 2 weeks about a month ago. I'm still nervous about this surgery, too.

Don't do anything that is permanent, like this surgery, until you are confident in your decision. Take time to explore and make sure this is the best route for you.

Agreed! I am about 97% sure. I just don't know when it will happen with my schedule and recovery from my other surgery. the 3% of me that is unsure is not about the surgery itself. Cheering everyone on with their surgeries. We can gain so much from having it!

Yes, no more straws. They add extra air into your stomach and can cause gas or stretch it out. My doctor is stern about it.

You have all gone through the Psych eval; what was it like? For some reason, I am nervous about it.

During mine, the doctor asked me questions about my expectations and had me explain the surgery to her. I think she wanted to make sure I understood what I was doing.

Mine asked what I was doing and why I was doing it. How does my family and spouse feel about it. Will there be jealousy or a chance of infidelity( yes, he asked that). Also what led to my weight gain. Did I feel like I couldn't control myself or was addicted to food.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
