Dec. sleevers.. I saw a topic about this but lost it? Anyone out there yet for dec. surgery?



Recommended Posts

I'm starting to get nervous about my will power after surgery. I've been on liquids since Aug and it's easier for me to do the all or nothing thing. But when I get to actually eat food again I fear that I will not be as strong. Yesterday was one of those days where I wanted to eat all day long. I didn't cheat yesteday but I worry about those feelings later on.

It is very different after surgery. The preop diet was 10 times tougher for me. I was hungry every day. Since surgery I never have those hunger pangs. And even if my head thinks I need to eat something that I shouldn't have on my new diet, my tummy says nope... No way. If necessary, a bite or two of something special is all I need to satisfy my desire and I rarely even need to do that. Wait and see. It will be easier after surgery.

That is good to hear. I'm sure it's normal but the closer the day comes the more stressed and anxious I am. It doesn't help that I'm still short on cash for my final payment. Ugh self pay is no fun.

I completely agree on the self pay! It sucks!

Wanting to join your group...my plan is to have the surgery the week before Christmas (due to time off and my deductible for the year has been met). My last of the 6 month required visits by insurance is Dec. 1st and hopefully my insurance will get it approved quickly. So ready to get this going!!

I don't know about anyone else here, but I think that is overly optimistic. my surgury was scheduled almost 2 months out after I finished my program. Filled with ultrasound, edg, presurgical trsying, etc... hope it works out!!!

My Dr's office is working really well with me trying to get this done in Dec. I have done the psych eval and have all of my medical testing next week. The only thing left will be my last of the 6 month visits then it can go to the insurance company. Fingers crossed!

I have a question...my Dr does the procedure as outpatient, meaning I will go home the evening of the surgery. Is anyone else doing it this way? Everywhere I have read they talk about staying overnight. This kind of worries me.

Usually they have you stay overnight and then do a leak test the next day before they release you. Are you scheduled to go back to the dr for this test the next day?

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
