Gastric Sleeve Surgery in a couple hours



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm having a sleeve done in a couple hours. I need to be at the hospital by 6:30 am to have my sleeve. I'm super nervous. I have been reading all the stories on this app and it's not helping my nerves. I know what to expect but that doesn't mean it will be my reality because in actuality everybody is different. I'm just relying on God to make sure that everything from my surgery to recovery goes better than expected!

Hello I'm praying for you as I type this: Father in the name of Jesus touch this woman right now as she goes into the operating room. Calm every bit of her fears and let her know you are with her even right now. Go to the hospital where she is at and touch her body. Guide the doctors hands as he does the procedure. Give the Doctor the knowledge and ability to handle whatever may arise. But most importantly let this surgery be successful. Let her come out with minimal pain or discomfort. Give your Angels authority to watch over and protect her and everyone who is over her during this surgery, every nurse, aide, assistant and all medical personnel in JESUS NAME AMEN! Your nerves are normal ????

Sure! Father in the name of Jesus I come to you on behalf of Brigitte Romanelli. Lord I ask you to to calm every bit of her fears right now. Your word say you didn't give us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a strong mind! Lord I ask you to strengthen her for surgery. Touch her mind body and soul. Let her know you are with her even at this very hour. As she prepares for surgery Lord you lead and guide the surgeon so that every thing is done to perfection because you are a perfect God. Touch every one that is assigned to her. Let immeasurable favor be shown towards her. Touch her body before and after this surgery. Jesus do it in a way that Brigette knows it was nobody but you. Lord demonstrate your unfailing love for her. Remind her that you have ALL power in your hand. Lord give your Angeles the authority to watch over and protect her. I take the authority in the name of Jesus and bind any plan of attack from the enemy. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray Amen!

I finally had the surgery. I'm still in the hospital 2 days later but I feel awesome. I want to go home!!!! I'm tired of these nurses taking blood, checking my blood pressure etc. My room is like a conveyor belt or a revolving door. My appetite is non existent though. I can only get thru a couple sips of everything. I'm super gassy but, I understand that's normal so I'm not concerned about that. Thank you for praying for me, it definitely helped the process go smoothly. Now I can't wait for the weight loss to begin!

      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?

      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... :(
