Hello! Gastric Sleeve on 12/16...I am fired up...Join me!



Recommended Posts

I have been overweight for 35 years. I steadily put on 2-3 pounds a year for 35 years. I have been on every kind of diet you can imagine. I had lapband surgery about 15 years ago and that ended up being a failure as I could not swallow at night. I gained all my weight back and then some within no time, I am having the lapband removed and gastric sleeve on 12/16/20. I am excited about the future and ready to start this journey! I need some support pals that are going thru the same life change. Lets Roll!

I am having the sleeve on 1/29, and I'm more nervous than excited. :)

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
