Surgery Date May 19! :-)



Recommended Posts

Hello all! This is my first time posting here on the sleeve forums. I started this whole process on January 8th, and after 4 months of evaluations, tests and screenings, dietician visits and a sponsored diet and exercise program, I have a surgery date set for May 19th and got approved within 24 hours of my request for precertification from Cigna! I am so happy that everything went smoothly and can't wait. Now that it's so close and real, I am very nervous however! I've never stayed in the hospital overnight or had any surgery so I have no idea what to expect. I start my pre op diet in 2 days and have my pre op visit on Wednesday! :) any and all advice on what to do to prepare in the next 2 weeks would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much

Congratulations!

I would suggest you start trying out some Protein drinks and find a few that you like.

Also, if you haven't been walking, you should start now. It will make your recovery easier. Get in about 30 minutes every day if you can.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
