Recommended Posts

Hi. So I've finally decided to do the sleeve. One month in to my 6months needed by my insurance company (BC/BS). I'm 30, 5'10 and weigh 275.5. I'm very nervous. Any tips will be much helpful. Looking for a buddy who will also have surgery in 5 or 6 mopost-299435-14742541584716_thumb.jpgnths

Hi!

I'm not the buddy you're looking for since I already had the surgery, but I am in New York and would be happy to message with you about surgeons you're considering and so on.

Also, there are subforums and extended threads for cohorts with the same month of surgery. I don't know if there's one yet for 3/17 but there may well be -- I'd go searching around if I were you.

Good luck to you!

Hi there,

I'm not in NYC but am a native NY'er now living in LA. I was banded at NYU in 2008 -- my revision surgery is scheduled for March 6th -- I'm also in month 3 of the 6 month diet. (Also, a fellow BC/BS). Where are you having your surgery done?

Hi Kristenmh,

I live in Chicago . I have BC/BS

I will be having my sergury in March or April. What diet are you doing? I can't seem to lose any weight right now. I would like to lose 10-15 lbs before the sergury.

i gave up all soda and liquor/wine and started doing a Protein smoothie for Breakfast every morning. I'm also mostly vegan -- so i've been eating ALOT of Beans, tempeh and tofu. my goal everyday is 60-80 grams of Protein. my personal goal is to lose another 20-25 lbs before surgery.

      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! 😞
