Husband's VSG scheduled for 1/12/15 at 10:15 am CST.



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

My husband, Lewis, is scheduled for his surgery on Monday, January 12, 2015 at 10:15 am. He is a very high risk patient and the surgery will not be laproscopic. The surgeon has to go in via an incision due to other health issues.

Those who are so inclined--PLEASE say a prayer for him to be able to undergo the vertical sleeve gastrectomy AND recover well from it. Those are the remaining hurdles for him. As I've said before, I would very much like to be a couple who can dance again, travel again and enjoy things we used to enjoy.

Keep warm everyone in the states, I know it's colder than a well digger's a$$ in Alaska as my father used to say. ;)

he helped you the past year with his support

i can only imagine with his past issues, you are both nervous/anxious/excited etc

please report back how things are going on monday

we all get involved/feel for our fellow sleevers or any other WLS people ;)

after his re-cuperation hope to see you two dancing into the sunset on your cruise to hawaii or "alaska" ;)

i've always heard the expression "its colder than a witches titttttt" :o :D

may this new year bring you both all the health and happiness you deserve :)

Kathy,

Thank you. I'm so grateful for this site. Thank you Alex Brecher.

Coming here and posting and getting feedback from people who have been there, done that and bought the T-shirt ;) ---is PRICELESS.

I'll keep y'all updated on Lewis's status after his surgery Monday.

Imagine someone singing this sweetly, (admittedly, that would be someone other than myself) :D:

"Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Kathy, happy birthday to you!"

I wish you a very happy, wonderful birthday.

Kathleen

      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... :(
