Any other November sleevers out there?



Recommended Posts

Everyone getting sleeved tomorrow 11/22 what are you packing for the hospital?

I'm wearing the only pants I'll be taking, a pair of very loose, comfy lounge pants that won't irritate my abdomen. I'm taking a camisole, a looser tank top in case the camisole bothers me, a soft sports bra without underwire, and I'm wearing the "slippers" I'll use to walk around the hospital. I'm also taking a notebook in case I decide to journal, one of my mio Water flavoring things, toothbrush/paste, face and body wipes, deodorant, hand lotion, my medications, my phone, and the charger. I have netflix and books on my phone if I get bored while awake. Oh, also a sweatshirt. I usually over pack for everything. I think it's a Latina thing, but I did try to keep it to a minimum. My body temperature fluctuates, so I have to prepare for everything. I believe they will give us compression stocking to wear, so I wasn't planning on bringing socks beyond what I'm wearing in.

Good luck! Let me know how it goes tomorrow! Mine is at 7:30, so thankfully I don't have to wait around.

See you on the other side!

4 days pre op and I have to wonder why I was so worried about recovery. I was up same day on my own wandering halls of hospital and drinking fine. Only stayed in one night which was great

I had surgery on Friday as out-patient. I started my Protein today...two ounces in (over the course of 10-15 mins) and I've been stuffed for hours. Literally like 4 hours. Miserable. Tomorrow is a new day, and I'll take it slower. Do things take longer to digest? I haven't heard that but I see how that's possible.

Congrats on your transition. Sounds like you are doing amazing!!!

I had my sleeve on November 9th. Doing great getting all my Protein and liquids in so far. Almost no pain at my incisions, just took Tylenol in the hospital for pain, and since. Looking forward to moving on to puree on Wednesday!

How did it go? Doing okay?

I'm scheduled for Nov. 21st. I'm not going to lie. I'm a lot anxious about post-opt.

I've read too many posts about complications and difficulties. Honestly, it sounds horrifying.

I live in Austin, Texas. Are there any support groups here?

Thanks.

21st in Oklahoma

OH!

Don't know if you all know about them, but the thing I found to help the gas pain that worked the best are Gas-X strips that dissolve on the tongue. I found mine at CVS near the antacids, but have seen them at Walmart, Target, Walgreens, etc. post-298966-14798547921695_thumb.jpg

Not going to lie, my post-op Day 2 has been HELL. The pain has been worse, I'm doubly exhausted, and the transition to swallowing pills before they even had me swallowing Water was nuts. I'll get through, but wow! Thankfully yesterday was a good day and kind of balances out today. I will probably stay another night at the hospital as I'm honestly not at all ready to be on my own yet and there will be no one to help me tomorrow, so I should get as much as I can here.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
