Any Oct 6 Sleevers out there?

When you get an answer please share. Does everyone still have to have follow up appointment still? I went for my 8 week post op on Friday and my doctor told me that was my last appointment unless I have any problems. I was expecting many more,maybe because with the lap band I was always going for adjustment.

I've got a follow-up with Kaiser this week, but the doctor doesn't need to see me until 6 months. I think he's written me off as a "don't worry about this one" case.

Wow, looks like So many different doctor follow up programs.

I go once a month for a year, and my doctor sits down and spends about 20 minutes every time talking to me about the foods I'm eating, and other concerns I have and gives me suggestions.

Thank You RG

It was such a great experience to walk across that stage! But the best part was I graduate with my husband and this day is only topped by our wedding day and the birth of our children. post-264131-14502001740343_thumb.jpg post-264131-14502001871092_thumb.jpg post-264131-14502002048271_thumb.jpg

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
