???? Calling all March Sleevers....let's support each other!????



Recommended Posts

I'm getting sleeved on March 30 and my pre-op is in 4 days on 3/19.

I'm excited, but I'm scared because I have such a hard time losing weight. My hope is that this surgery will help alleviate some of the side effects of PCOS.

I had my sleeve March 3rd, 2015. No pain in the hospital thanks to my Dilaudid PCA pump. The first night home I did fine with the aide of Dilaudid tablets. Today is March 6th and I feel great. I flushed the remaining Dilaudid tablets. I am ready to move forward and get my exercise on. I have to wait till Narch 11th which is when my postop appt is to be cleared for work, exercise plan. Feeling good. I definitely think I have made the right choice for me. This full liquid diet sucks but it will also end at my postoperative appt.

Great to hear your doing well. I'm feeling okay erect I freaking hate Protein Shakes and I still want MEAT!!. LOL can't have any thing with artificial sweeteners or I'm running to the bathroom so I'm kinda stuck. As far as your drugs tho, don't flush them. Turn them into your local police dept. We don't want them in our Water ways and of course we don't want them laying around so the police will either take them(controlled especially) or direct you to your local health dept. Some pharmacies will take them also but some charge (ridiculous!) Hope you continue with you great recovery

Jebv1949 my surgery was March 3rd. and was pretty uneventful too. Very little pain except for the hiatal hernia repair and that was not bad just an inconvenience. The whole experience was amazing! My surgery was done using a robot, I don't know if that made a difference....... no pain, tiny incisions and no bruising. I was very surprised. Now to get through one more week of the full liquids diet.

I has my sleeve done yesterday. It was the longest day of my life. So much gas pain, dry heaving, and just straight up uncomfortableness. They put me on some new pain meds today and she's giving anti nausea meds more often this morning it is making me feel so much better. Good luck to ally having theirs done today.

      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!!

      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?
