lower bmi and gastic sleeve



Recommended Posts

looking at getting sleeved in march 2018, i have to have 3 nutritionist visits did the first one today i am looking for other lower bmi people im right at the cut off of 35 with 1co morbidity of HTN I had the gastric balloon and that was a waist of time and money yes i lost 20 lbs but that was in the first month after placement. i really wanted to do gastric sleeve instead of the the balloon but my husband wasn't to happy about that decision he is in the medical field and doesn't think i need gastric sleeve but its hard to lose and keep off at any weight. and i am so sick and tired of always being on a damn diet. so anyone who had or is gonna have VSG with a lower bmi lets chat.

That’s me. I had to actually GAIN weight to get me to a BMI of 35 and use sleep Apnea as my cormorbimdity. It sucked. I had testing and so many visits from April 2017 till I finally got to my classes in August but it was worth it. I was sleeved on 10/30/17 and even though I was a lower weight than most at 202.4, I’m down almost 32 pounds :) my goal is 120 by June for Comic Con and loosing every day. I had a hard time walking, going up the steps in my own house, sleeping, everything. I just wished I had done it sooner. I had been trying for three years to get the weight off and all I did was gain. The last 7 weeks post-op I’ve lost more weight than with any other diet.

      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! 😞
