Any August 2017 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I had mine yesterday, just got home. Surgery was delayed 3 hrs because Dr. was stuck on interstate and all lanes wee shutdown. Surgery went great. Had dry heaves for about 4 hrs. Easy since then. No pain, no gas pains (just like plain gas) and liquids are smooth going down. Get a little weak standing up for long, but it's easier each time...No real pain, just feels like pulled muscles or a baby. I wish you all the best.

Hi all, my surgery date for the sleeve is August 21st. Excited and nervous at the same time but anticipating getting this weight off! Since my spinal fusion in 03 and my spinal implantation in 2016 I struggled with my weight going up and down from 187lbs to 201lbs standing at 4'11". My mobility is limited due to my back. So some exercises are off limits for me. Prayerfully this will help and I can come off the most of the meds I consume.

Hi I'm 5'0" and in the low 200's and it's been a struggle for me too. Back pain sleep apnea restless leg syndrome knee pain, torn cartilage in my left knee. My surgery is tomorrow morning. I'm looking forward to it. This is the right direction for me. I've tried so many diets it isn't even funny. But with the gastric sleeve, I can and will succeed. The best of luck to you on your journey.

Thank you for sharing and I too have similar issues as far as the pain as same to well as trying different diet approaches. You absolutely have the right and same mind set as I, to believe this will work and succeed at it!!!! I've read in some posts that some sleevers lost only small amounts of weight even after some time had passed also some had regained their weight. Hopefully that won't be the case for me.

Best wishes to everyone on their up coming surgeries. My surgery date is Aug 25. I'm so excited that I'm a little overwhelmed. Because the hospital where I'm having my surgery at is 3 hours away. And the thought about ride home after my surgery has me a little worried.

My surgery is scheduled for August 10. Now that I have a date I'm getting very excited about the journey and can't wait to see how my body changes. I'm terrified of the recovery process though.

Me too

Hello,

Im 30. My surgey is scheduled for the 23rd of Aug. I'm truly scared :blush:. I go this friday Aug. 4th to see the doctor. I was informed it was about a 2week liquid diet I will be placed on (completely lost about that) before the sugery it's self. Was the liqiud Protein diet somthing the doctor gives you or we have to by. Any information and advice will truly help me. Thanks in advance.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
