Calling all October sleevers!!



Recommended Posts

Well my pre-op diet starts tomorrow. I had a 2 hour session with the nutritionist and my doctor's nurse in which they went over in great detail the pre-op and post-op requirements. I am really trying to stay positive about the next two weeks. Bottom line, if my Dr goes in and my liver is too fatty, he won't perform the surgery. I don't want to come all this way to just be turned away on the operating table. Operation pre-op is in full effect!





My surgeon said the exact same thing. Who is your surgeon

Yay! Me too - October 4th in Tucson, AZ.

I'm super excited. Today is the first day of my pre-op diet. 2 weeks from today. I'll get nervous as it gets closer. We can do this!

How long did it take the doctors office to give you a surgery date after you were approved? I am still waiting on a date and was approved last Thursday!

I was given the date the same day they sent my stuff to insurance. Still waiting for insurance approval but my date is Oct. 17th.

I called my insurance and found out I was approved on a Friday. I then called and emailed my doctor's office over the course of the following week and finally got a reply after emailing the doctor himself. The surgery date was given to me the following Monday. So 9 days later.

Yes started pre-op diet yesterday, consists of three shakes a day. 250 calories of low-glycemic vegetables and that is all!

      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! 😞
