I'm expecting to be able to get my sleeve done this summer. I'll also need to have my impacted wisdom teeth removed. I was thinking if I had my wisdom teeth done about 2 weeks after the sleeve, it would work out well since I'll still be on liquids anyways. Thoughts? Experiences?

Sounds like a good plan, assuming you’re in relatively good health. If so, you should be able to tolerate oral surgery 2 weeks after VSG but check with your bariatric surgeon to be sure.

Removing wisdom teeth is a standard but complicated procedure—a blood clot forms in the hole after removing a wisdom tooth, promoting rapid wound healing. Sometimes a clot does not form, most often in smokers. After a few days, acute pain may appear, with which it is necessary to consult a doctor. I put dental implants in Allen, and my dentist recommended I restore the immune system after all dental treatment procedures and avoid surgical operations for six months.

You might want to discuss your plans with both providers?

It's not uncommon for doctors to want 6 weeks or more between surgical procedures (yes, having your wisdom teeth removed is considered a surgical procedure). Better to know now, than to find out when you go in to have the work done! Your WLS may or may not be okay with this timing as well, so it's better to check.

I would play it safe and space them 6 weeks apart since both involve Anesthesia and you really don't want to play around with it. Talk to both providers and see what they say.

      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...

      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
