Any May 26th Sleevers out there?



Recommended Posts

Slow progress for me too. Sleeved 5/26/15

HW 250

SW 232

CW 201-203 depends on the day

GW 125-135

I hold weights for a couple of weeks then lose a few pounds then hold there a couple of weeks again. I get my Protein in but not as good with my Water. Oh well, better slow than not at all

Every time I've expressed this same thought to my surgeon, the "I feel like I'm losing slowly" or I express concerns about how easy it still is to graze/snack, my surgeon stops me and says, "You've lost xx amount of weight. You're still winning." And he's right, even if we have an off day, week, or even month, we're winning more battles than we're losing.

hw: 340

sw: 320 before, 326 after (I get so confused with which I should use, because I gained 6 pounds in the hospital??)

cw: 284

36 pounds doesn't seem like much to me since surgery, but I'm slowly getting there. I try to remind myself that I haven't been this weight in forever, so it's still a great feeling.

I had a couple of rough weeks where I even gained a pound or so, and I was so upset and defeated. I ended up doing a "step battle" with someone from work who had gastric bypass 11 years ago with our fitness trackers and it kicked me in the ass and got me back to the gym (for the first time since last October). The weight started coming off again -- it was great!

I am now a little worried because, well for one i have to find a new doctor because the one that did the surgery almos killed me... my surgery was a little drastic since the doctor perforated my mesenteric artery and i had to be rushed to another hospital to find out 10 hours later after the oroginal anesthesia that a cut had to be made almost through my whole abdomen so my life can actually be saved!! Now I've lost since may 22nd up to today september 14th 2015 "98" pounds !!!!! Anyone here lost that much??? Please share im kind of worried since this doctor obviously i cant see him again for personal reasons but i was told i would loose 100 pounds within a year and it has been 3 months and a half!!! Super worried here !!

I have lost 50 pounds so far since surgery on May 27. Still have 40lbs to go until I reach my goal weight. However my GI doc wants my goal weight to be 140. It feels so good to be in the one hundreds. Have been this light in over 9 years.

Congrats Michelle on ur weight loss success!

I also had surgery on May 26th and as of today I am down 56lbs. I was 204.7 at surgery! Now at 148lbs today. Total loss is 107.6lbs since starting the process when weight was 255.6 at my first appointment last August! Feeling pretty great. Close to my nutritionist goal of 140! My goal is 135 ultimately less than 130!

Today I am 72lbs lighter than I was before my highest weight before surgery. In April of 2015 I weighed 250lbs, SW on 5/21/15 was 231 and today's weight is 178! I still have 28lbs to go until I reach my goal but I'm confident I'll get there! Feeling great is even better than looking great. What a Happy New Year for May sleevers!

I'm so excited reading these updates! Great job, guys! I was hoping to be sleeved by March, but now they are telling me April/May. I'm excited to think next year this time I could be down 50+lbs and feeling great!

Hi everyone!

I am 60 lbs down, but hit a stall and the bad grazing habits are kicking in with the holidays!!! I feel great and have received raves from family and friends on how I look, BUT I have 25 lbs more to go. Need to get back on track and stop coasting at the same weight. No reason I can't reach goal.

Would love to hear about your daily routines and how you are staying on track to gain some much needed motivation. What is working for you???

Thanks in advance!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
