And Arkansas or Oklahoma sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm having surgery in late January. I'm looking to find some friends or mentors. If you're having surgery soon and would like someone to chat with let me know! I am not telling many people in my life that I am having this done so it would be nice to have some friendly support from people who understand :)

I had surgery Dec 15, I feel great. had a few issues with feeling sick after eating. But it don't last long. Which surgery are you doing I had the gastric bypass. Best decision I ever made. Yes it is painful but the most pain I had was right after. Once u start moving around and walking it gets better.

I have told my close friends, and my husband's family, but not my mother, aunts, or siblings. I am the only "plus size" person among my blood relations, and they just don't get it.

Had my sleeve done Dec 5th @ National Perk Medical Center in Hot Springs by Dr. JJ Tucker. So far all is good and Im down 7 lbs in five days. The road is long with many a winding turn but each of us have a goal and need to set our minds on that road to success.

Good Luck all!!!

You are doing this for YOU not them so just focus on yourself and all will be fine for you. They will change their minds after they see how much healthier you become.

I am in Claremore OK

I go to my first appointment in a few weeks. But I'm in Oklahoma! Not many people in my life are very supportive of this choice so I can kind of relate.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
