September 6th (or around that date) sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hi; I am getting my sleeve surgery done on sep 6th with Dr Allan Cribbins. I would love to hear some experiences and have some fellow sleevers who are going through similar experience around the same day, particularly with Dr Cribbins. If you had had a surgery with Dr Cribbins in the past, would love to hear your experience.

I have liked the guy, he seems very laid back and casual and takes time to answer the questions. I had a list of 20 or 25 questions and took almost 25 minutes in my last appointment. He was very patient and never rushed any response-including the hard questions I asked of him. He seemed like a guy who probably sleeps and lives in his surgeon outfit (or whatchma call it) 24/7.

As they say, prepare for the worst and hope for the best, for the first time in my life regardless of my years of struggle with morbid obesity, I have felt that I am mentally prepared to tackle the surgery and manage the demands and yes face any issues. Mentally ready to fight the good fight.

If you are having surgery around the same time, let us share experiences and pray for me.

At Plano Presbyterian??? I have seen Stephen Hamn, I have my psych eval this Thursday and then praying for a quick approval from BC/BS.

      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! 😞
