December Sleevers??



Recommended Posts

Next Tuesday, Dec 5th is my surgery date. I've not done very good on pre-op diet. I'm on a liquid diet starting tomorrow. I had an original surgery date of Nov. 7th. My hubby is not on board with me and he's severely overweight. I have to do this myself but I would love to see him do the diet as he has lots of health problems. Would appreciate a buddy to support each other cause I cannot count on him. Had lap band 6 years ago and it was great but I had a tough time after a year. Since then, I'm taking so much RX meds now. Diabetes, high blood pressure and a cpap machine. Never had any of that just 2 years ago.

Anyone else on here having surgery next week?

I'm having mine on Tuesday, Dec 5th too. I'm on my 2 week liquid diet now and it hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. Started it last Tuesday, Nov 21st. Already lost some weight, feeling really good about it. You just hang in there, you will do great...:)

I just found this forum today -- so excited to have found it -- so many success stories and supportive people.Hi everyone!! :)

I have a tentative sleeve date of 12/7 provided insurance approval comes through in time. I'm a little concerned though as I see so many people talking about starting their liquid diet pre-surgery...I guess every surgeon is different as my surgeon is not requiring that?

Anyone else for 12/7?

I'm gettling sleeved on 12/6 and I have to do a 12 day 1200 calorie diet & 2 day liquid. Each surgeon thinks differently is my guess. I've lost 9 pounds since last Wednesday on it, so I'm feeling good that my liver is getting shrunk.

Good luck to you! Keep in touch!

Congrats!!! I'm scheduled for 12/18 as well. I'm super nervous and trying to stop the negative thoughts from keeping positive. The closer it gets the more worried i get. Overall, we'll do great. Good luck to you.

December 18! Wow me too! Im hitting the " this is really happening phase" one week before my liquid diet fast. I'm trying to focus on all the benefits that surgery will do. I'm diabetic with retinal bleeds and at risk of losing my sight. ( not good ). So here's to Dec 18. I hope to chat again.

I got my insurance verification back and I was approved but it said I was approved for a roux en y bypass not a sleeve. I really wanted to get a sleeve because I just thought it would be a better fit for me. I'm a bit disappointed. I am talking to my doctor soon so I will see what happened.

First appt was 09/26 with my surgeon and then had my second one on 10/31 to go over my results from tests and then they let me choose an opening for surgery in Dec. which I chose 12/27. So all together, about 3 months (up to surgery).

Same date as m congratulations

      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!!

      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
