Hi all,

I will be sleeved on 5/28 at Kaiser in SSF, I'm looking for others that are going through it too so we can support one another.

Thanks

I too am having surgery on 5/28. Having lap band removed and converted to a sleeve. It didn't seem like the time would ever come. I can't believe its only 5 days away. I only have to be on Clear Liquids one day prior to surgery. I have been trying to make better choices so I can loose some weight prior to surgery. Wishing you the best of luck. Keep in touch.

It's so nice to meet you. My daughter in law just did lap to sleeve surgery on 5/13. She's doing very well.

I am prescribed full liquids the day prior to surgery. I can't believe it's so close either. But I'm really looking forward to getting on the other side.

I would love to keep in touch. Where are you located?

I live in Port Saint Lucie Florida. My surgery is in Jupiter Florida. I am trying to figure out how to post pictures from my iphone. At my smallest I weighed 137 down from 244. After I started having trouble with the band they removed the saline and I gained most of my weight back. post-253880-14324375302607_thumb.jpg

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
