There are a few of us on here. I am in Alsip on the far southwest side. My sleeve was done 12/23/2013 at Loyola University Medical Center. Where are you having your surgery? What part of this great metropolis are you in?

Had my Sleeve 3 weeks ago...Northwestern Hospital. Struggling a little so far. Foggy mind, feels like I'm kinda drunk all the time. Probably just dehydrated...

Happy New Year fellow sleevers. I'm currently waiting for approval from BCBS IL - paperwork was submitted this week - all of my clearances are complete. Hoping for a quick response - so I can get surgery scheduled ASAP. Getting sleeved by Dr. Joyce at Silver Cross in New Lenox. I feel like I've been jumping through hoops for the last five weeks - trying to get appointments with all the specialists and getting all the tests performed. Just joined this forum. - so far I'm finding it really helpful. Feeling that weird mix of scared and excited at the same time. Please feel free to offer helpful advice or information. Good luck to all.

      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.

      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! 😞
