May Sleevers...where are you?



Recommended Posts

Good things come to those that wait and everything always happens for a reason. All sayings that we just repeat as comforts, however, I really do believe that everything is supposed to happen the way God wants it to happen and in his time schedule. God used you before your surgery to help us get though ours with this forum that you started which to me is an honor to be used this way. You are on your way. hang in there. jake

@@VSG_Hopeful No I'm not really excited I'm more nervous. I just had my pre-op appointment today and I feel better meeting other sleevers. :)

@@Phoenix2015, I know what you mean about being nervous. On Monday (5/4) after my final weigh in and they gave me my surgery date, I was so nervous I got nauseous and my hands were shaking so badly I couldn't even drive.

NoMoBand Jake, you are awesome! Thanks for those kinds words. I agree everything happens for a reason and I'm just trying to stay positive. Hey, I'm scheduled, so I'm on my way. I'm still a May Sleever at heart, so this is where I belong. I'm taking everyone's feedback for when it's my turn.

Good luck everyone!

My surgery is also May 14th. My Dr.put me on a two week high Protein diet. Not a liquid diet. I think I got lucky! Dr Wiess in Lexington Ky.

Dr. Weiss is great. He did my sleeve April 20 at Georgetown and couldn't be happier. I learned so much from him and love his perspective.

@@bvenegas, yeah insurance can really put a horrible kink in your plans. Considering how much money they would save from obesity related issues, you'd think they'd want is to have surgery as soon as possible. But at least you know it will go through.

Update: Surgery was 5-4-15, discharged 5-6-15, re-admit 5-7-15 for high fever (102.9) and an inflamed colon. It was a very horrible experience. I am all bruised from all of the IVs. My fever came down finally after several rounds of antibiotics and I was discharged today. Because of the setback, I haven't lost a significant amount of weight and I am swollen from all of the fluids.

I pray none of you have to experience this. I am grateful I paid attention to my body and got to the doctor in time. Hope all is well with everyone...

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        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!!
