5 weeks post revision and no longer overweight!



Recommended Posts

So excited. Put my stats into a BMI calculator and realised I'm no longer overweight. Yay. Still got a bit more to lose as my middle is still too thick to be healthy but being in the healthy weight range again feels amazing!

I’m in Australia so my process is slightly different.

We need a referall from our General Practicioner to see a specialist and that lasts for a year. I have been seeing my surgeon for years , he didn’t do my band but he took over my aftercare.

I went to see him in about Sept last year and told him how frustrated I was and he gave me options. At that point he suggested RNY and told me his reasoning. I went home and did some research and decided to go ahead. I had another appointment with the surgeon to go over everything and set a date. He didn’t require another gastroscope as he did one within the last 2 years, he also had results from a barium swallow I did earlier in the year. The only other specialist I was required to see was a physician to check that I was fit for surgery.

Do you mind me asking what was your revision. I had the sleeve a year ago next month and I've only lost 50 lbs despite doing everything right. It's so frustrating. I lost 50 lbs on my own. I feel like a failure [emoji21] now and am not sure if I'll qualify for a revision.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
