Third Time Surgery the Charm?



Recommended Posts

I had a lapband in 2012 that did almost nothing and finally slipped in 2015 where it was revised to a sleeve. I lost a tiny bit then started steadily regaining within a year. It turns out that my sleeve surgeon left my sleeve very large. My final and third surgery will obviously be my last, and I am going to be serious and dedicated.

I had my sleeve redone plus the SADI-S procedure at 166lbs (5’1”) this morning with Dr. Wihelmy at Mexicali Bariatric.

I am in pain but already standing and walking around.

Please feel free to ask me any questions. I intend to become an active forum member to hold myself accountable and make some motivational buddies!

3 days post-op and I am being discharged tomorrow afternoon!

Drain is out, IV is out, and I am on oral pain meds only. Barely any pain. 2 leak tests clear.

The first 3 nights in the hospital I struggled a lot with discomfort (not pain, just getting comfortable and not being able to sleep) but I have trouble sleeping in general.

I was walking just a few hours after my surgery.

Tomorrow, I am off to recuperate in a nice hotel for a week before flying across the country (since I'm alone, I thought this would be a good plan).

This surgery was more serious and thus more difficult than my previous 2, but overall, everything has gone really well and I have no complaints.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
