Looking for those who had sleeve in August 2015



Recommended Posts

I'm down 41 since my surgery on 8/11. It doesn't feel like enough but I haven't been exercising the way I should. I know I could do so much better if I just got myself out there and walked. I can do a half mile now without stopping and can do a mile with a break during. I just need to do it.

The eating is going pretty well, following my routine and getting plenty of Protein and fluids. Taking my Vitamins and other supplements also. That's a chore but I get it done. It's just the exercise I dread.

At my HW I was 324 lbs. The day is started by 2 week post op diet, I weighed 316 lbs. Date of surgery I weighed 303 lbs. Today I weigh 247 lbs. It has been a great ride so far and I am enjoying my new sleeved life. I have for a total lost 77 lbs so far. If I were to count from my surgery date I have lost 56 lbs. Not too shabby. Good luck and continued to success to all.

I was sleeved on 8/18. I am feeling great. I am down 45lbs.

I don't exercise as much as I should but I have RA and some days are harder than others.

I've had several stalls and do my best to try and embrace them.

I am very thankful for this site and to have others that are going through the same experiences and to have you all to share with.

I got two weight loss compliments today at work. Not very good at admitting that I've lost much weight to people. I keep downplaying it. Anyone else doing this?

Yep, I am same way. Its weird, now that it is happening and a lot of people are talking about me, the attention is welcomed but it feels kind of unsettling.

Do they know you had the surgery? I have not told anyone....

I told my work friends and my boss but not other people I see everyday who I don't talk to about personal life. I never talked about my weight gain so why would I talk about my weight loss. It's nice that it's noticeable but I don't want to talk about it really.

I was sleeved on 8/24 and I am down 63 pounds! I am 17 pounds away from being below 100 and it seems like the hardest 17 haha. But I can deff eat more but I'm always thinking about what to eat and not eating just anything. Surgery was the best decision I have ever made!!!

Sleeved on the 20th and I'm down 60 lbs. I still have another 40ish to go but I'm over half way there. I'm wearing a size large down from a 22/24. Best thing of the whole experience? My BP is under control for the first time in ten years -without meds!

I am at the same weight for 3 weeks, not one pound more. I haven't gone to the gym and have been eating a little bad so its totally my fault. We have to kick it up people and start exercising more!!!!! :-)

I was sleeved on 8/14 and have lost 46 lbs. Very slow now. I've only lost 5 lbs since November 11th and nothing in the past 10 days. I am doing spin class 3 - 4 days a week. Maybe I'm building muscle. Ha ha ha. Still not getting Protein and Water in like I should.

      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.

      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
