Any Chicago/Illinois Sleevers/Bypass? Pre or Post Op



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm Tracey from Chicago, Looking for men/woman from Chicago or in Illinois... who are in the process of having the gastric sleeve/bypass or have already been sleeved/bypass. Its so hard trying to find people who are in the same mind frame as you, people who are changing their way of life. Where are you in your journey. I'm expect to have the gastric sleeve surgery the second week of September, no specific date yet... I have one more requirement that will not be completed until 8/18.

when is your first visit... that visit will be with your surgeon, nutritionist, psychiatrist, and his nurse... once they agree that your a suitable candidate you be put thur a series of test... depending on how fast you can get in and get those appointments will determine fast you can schedule surgery. I have one more test and I can schedule for the second week in September.

      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! 😞
