Beginner to Sleeve Life



Recommended Posts

Hi! To you all.... I’m new to the site. I’m in the process of starting on this Sleeve journey. I tried starting last year but the office I was at claim they lost my paperwork,didn’t even bother contacting me and said I had to start all the way over when I called. I have my 1st consult with Emory Bariatrics on Monday. Only difference with them is you have to pay $150 up front with other office there was no fee. Iim only super nervous about what it’s going to cost me. Weird right I know. Lol! I know I’m a candidate for the surgery so I’m not worried about that part. I’m just ready for my Surgery date and time like yesterday.

Have some patience as it'll take time to process your paperwork, get pre-op tests, get primary doctor and/or specialist clearances, and get insurance approval. Good luck!

be prepared for your life to change.

I am kinda seeing it as I died, then was reborn.. now everything is an adventure, specially when you eat. you never know what is going to agree with your new stomach or not.

      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! 😞
