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.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
