My Bitching and Moaning Finally Paid Off



Recommended Posts

Thank you everyone for the support on the steps! Sucked it up and pulled through it and all the hard work paid off. Yesterday I was approved for surgery and have to meet with my surgeon. They want to do surgery by the end of this month or in June. I'm excited and scared at the same time. They are talking about doing the sleeve if I don't agree it'll be RNY. I know everyone's outcome is different. I just want a procedure where I'll be successful in. I would love to lose about 90lbs, it's just will this procedure be effective for me. I know RNY is really invasive, and a lot of people is recommending it. Right now I'm 210 and I'm 4'7....so I'm still a bit indecisive lol. Anyways THANK YOU everyone for the and support I really needed it and y'all came through!!

I just got my sleeve a week ago, and since I started my diet 3 weeks ago I have been able to drop 30 pounds already! I love my sleeve. I'd recommend trying that first.





Thank you! I guess I will stick with it [emoji5] was a bit hesitant after a talk with some amazing people that had RNY. I love everything about the sleeve, it's just I over think things.

I think RNY might be a good option for you because of your size and the risk of another surgery later on if the sleeve isn't enough, maybe even the DS might be a good option for you.

That's what I've been hearing, a lovely woman I met yesterday told me that, with the sleeve it's a lot easier to gain all the weight back, and I'm not looking at this as a short term goal. I want to be realistic and I want to keep the weight off. I know I'm going to have to work, just like you said I don't want to have a revision. Is it a good idea to ask if they could remove my gallbladder? I know some people do good on the sleeve, but me I know my weakness which is sweets and fats (been cutting it out). I don't want to be an idiot and see the progress, and end up slipping.

Just be Careful about asking to remove the gall bladder if you want insurance to pay for it. The doctor will have to prove it is medically necessary (you have gallstones) in order to justify it. If you have not had an ultrasound then you might try and see if you have any and then have the surgeries jointly. Good luck

      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! 😞
