Recommended Posts

Hey guys!

I am from NY, Long Island area,and looking for other ladies that are going through the sleeve process in NY. I think it'll be a great way to support each other, share things and ask questions!

My revision sleeve surgery was just approved and my sleeve is scheduled for May 2nd! (I had a lap band that didn't work)

Email me and we can go through this together!!

I am confused, you open with "Hey Guys", however, you only ask for ladies that maybe going through the sleeve process.

Guys was used as a general term. No need to complicate anything here but also not interested in chatting with any men.

Thanks and best of luck to you.

Using the term "hey guys" is northern for "y'all." I grew up in NY and Va, so I speak both ;)

Just had my surgery on 2/14 - after my lap band failed - so welcome to the club! You're in the right place...people have been very helpful on this forum.

Just consider me the northern/southern translator ;)

I'm feeling great! So glad I am sleeved! I started gaining weight when my lap band failed, so I'm relieved to be on track again...

I used to think it was Yoose Guys in NY until I found out it was Northern NJ after all. Oh well.[emoji12]Most of you Empire Staters don't think there's land beyond Buffalo anyway and I'm clear out in Ohio. [emoji173] you all anyway!

The sleeve is quite different from the band. I experience more restriction, and I really have to watch out for sugar - anything too sugary makes me nauseous. There are other advantages, but the biggest one right now is I’m losing weight at a nice pace...


Starting weight 2008: 220
Surgery day weight: 160
Current weight: 148
Goal weight: 130

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
