September Sleevers please post updates on how you are doing!

I'm about 2 mths post-op HW 243, SW 221, CW 200. I feel great, I've had no complications after surgery. I watch what I eat, but I'm satisfied. I'm no longer on cholesterol medications and I was taken off 2 of my blood pressure meds and I'm no longer at the threshold for diabeties. This surgery was the best decision I've ever made! I'm very happy with the results and its only going to get better! :)

I too am doing great post op! I have no regrets at all. I'm down a total of 47 pounds and I am feeling great. I still eat too fast once in awhile and my new tummy let's me know. Other than that no problems at all.☺

I am just at six weeks post op. I was done at the end the very end of September.

Highest weight 376

Surgery weight 319

Today's weight 282.4

Doing really well so far and feeling good. Finally feeling back to normal, a new normal but it's good. I didn't have any health issues really but by blood pressure was on verge of being high and now it's low end of normal. ????

I'm at the cinema snacking on sparkling Water and some fruit I smuggled in. The seat feels enormous.... like huge!

Isn't that a great feeling? More than once, at a restaurant, I have had issues with the size of booths. I have noticed recently that I fit. It feels so good!

Surgical stockings on (fortunately no assistance was needed as I managed to get the brutes on all by myself)

Surgery is likely to be before 10 and is a relatively brief 1 hr long affair. Be back on ward by lunchtime and will update when I'm feeling up to it.

Fyi thanks everybody for all your support. I feel even more supported by you guys than my lower legs currently are by all your lovely messages. :)

Adios all.

Des x

      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... :(
