Anyone get sleeved in May?



Recommended Posts

Failed my pre op assessment today. My bloodwork didn't pass. My sleeve is scheduled for the 31st but I won't know until the 27th if the surgeon will go ahead with a high platelet count. So upset. Mostly because my records show that my platelets were high consistently over the past year while on the bariatric pathway. I only found out today how high they have been. I brought this subject up in April and was told "not to worry" and that the team felt the high platelet count wasn't "significant". Then they blindside me today, ten days pre op. No one can "make a decision" due to work schedules so I have to simply wait it out.

@@GinaCampbell I'm sorry you're dealing with this - but it's for the best that they take every precaution. Blood clots are a very serious and can be deadly complication to major surgery - so with high platelets you are at a much greater risk. Someone should have done something about this before now - but hopefully you can get this resolved and scheduled for surgery. Good luck!

GinaCampbell I had this happen to me. I was scheduled for surgery last October and my platelet count was too low and my surgeon cancelled the surgery 3 days before it was scheduled. I had to follow up on some other health issues and was quite depressed for several months. Finally had my surgery last week. Remember that your health and safety are most important. Hang in there.

Thanks all. Yes, I feel very low. And of course all my family that don't want me to have the sleeve are happy and hoping that I will stop fighting for the sleeve surgery.

      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... :(
