Looking for someone to connect with after surgery

@@Wanda I am sure that for some people sure can have it pain. I would think that some pain is normal. What scale would you say the pain is at, between 1 and 10? Might consider calling your surgeon. I'm sorry you are having pain post op. Please let us know you're ok.

I have created a secret Facebook group called December 2015 Sleevers. I will post the link below (hopefully that will work). If not, I believe the group is searchable as typed above, or I can invite people by e-mail address also :)

My surgery is the 21st. Can I please be part of your support group?

4millyb, I'm happy to hear you are already pack at work! I've been in so much pain (not nearly as much from.hospital though) that I have to go back in this week to see melt surgeon. I also had problems with my pain meds and 3 different nausea medications. They actually made me do another upper GI thinking I had a leak because I was throwing up bad stuff as well. I'm happy you're off of clear liquids! I'm so jealous. I'm on them until thursday. But I also am hungry cranky person!!!! Especially when I think about food, see food, smell food, it all sucks. Lol come.march 10th I can hopefully be eating normal again but that is so far away! I also was sleeved on the 10th. Good to hear from you. Have you joined the fb group yet?

Looking for a joiner? I was sleeved on Dec 8. 5'7 and 301.5. I was so bummed that I wasn't under 300 before surgery. I did have a hiatal hernia repair. I think I've been more uncomfortable from that then the sleeve surgery. Everyone says they have no post-op hunger but man, I'm hungry. Anyone else????

Hey everyone! I'm new for the most part. I'm scheduled for surgery on December 10th and I was hoping to find someone to was getting sleeved right around the same time that would want to talk. For motivation, worries, support, someone who is literally in this process at the same point in time as me. :-)

I had my surgery on the 10th too. How are you feeling?

Hi there. I am 5'6" and 221. I am having the sleeve on 12/28 in Tijuana along with a hernia repair. I didn't want to wait the 6 months to do the surgery here, in San Diego. My doctors pre-op diet depended on your BMI, so I only have one day of liquid diet before.

Danielle you are my height and what only 15lbs or so more than what I weighed when I felt semi good about myself! So I'm sure you will get way down there. I'm so happy for you to start your journey!

      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! 😞
