Time Off From Work
daydreamerz replied to MiTurner247's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I'm a Registered Nurse (extremely physical) ~ I took off apx 4 1/2 weeks. Between us (shhhhh), I felt good enough to come back at around 3 weeks :wink_smile: . -
How Long Do The 3rd Week Stalls Usually Last?
daydreamerz replied to wantobeskinny's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This particular thread is a blessing! You see, I was sleeved on December 6th and haven't lost a single pound w/in the last 1 1/2 weeks. I thought that I was doing something wrong. I find it SO unusual that I can eat so little (comparable to my "pre-sleeved" self) yet not loose a single pound. I have not measured myself- I've only used the bathroom scale as my guideline. It's honestly nice to know that I'm not alone. -
4 Days Out Of Gastric Sleeve Surgery And I Would Kill For A Brownie, A Steak, Some Pasta...
daydreamerz replied to Less of Leslie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I COMPLETELY understand!! I was sleeved on Tuesday and I continue to experience hunger as if nothing was done to my stomach. To make matters worse, the smells/thoughts of protein poweder, jello, & broth make my stomach want to flip Only a few more days......I've never been SO excited to have cream soups and yogurt before (LOL). -
I Got Gastric Sleeve Surgery Dec 6th!
daydreamerz replied to MoonSiren's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was also sleeved on Tuesday, December 6th. My taste has SO changed ~ just the thought of broth, jello, muscle milk, chewable vitamins, AND powdered protein makes me sick I can begin to incorporate cream soups after being home from hospital 3-7 days (I'm going to try on Sunday). Congrats on your sleeve!! I can't wait to step out this summer with a new body -

Prayers for you !! -
Well, I've been "lurking" for quite a while now and now I (yes, ME) finally has some good news. My insurance has approved the surgery (11/16/11) and I'm scheduled to be sleeved on Tuesday, December 6th!! I'm SOOO scared but, I don't plan on chickening out this time

I appreciate this thread being started as I also had questions related to the VSG and hair loss (on chemically relaxed hair). I also wondered about scarring since most of us that have a darker complexions tend to have darker scars (my poor belly is going to look like a battle ground) Thank you, everyone, for sharing!

I'm off the fence and both feet are wet
daydreamerz replied to SeattleSue's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi Susan!! Very heartfelt post AND your story is much of what everyone else here has felt OR is still feeling. I'm to be sleeved in mid-November and the fear of doing the right thing (i.e~ surgery) continues to worry me. Several times a week I peek into the photo gallery and think of my pics which will soon post. This is going to be a tough journey for us but, we CAN do it! -
You can add me as a friend. I'm also being sleeved at Henry Ford- Detroit and would love a buddy!!
-
Surgical clearance next Thursday, June 30th. Surgery isn't until mid-November so I'm puzzled why I need to be cleared this soon. Either way, I'm SUPER excited and ready for life to be better!!

MICHIGAN SLEEVERS OUT THERE?
daydreamerz replied to ALHOAGIRL's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Heyyyyyyy!!! Check'n in from Michigan - "downriver" to be exact! I'm not yet sleeved. My big day will come in mid-November and surgery is planned for Henry Ford Hospital-Detroit. I'm excited AND scared about my decision to be sleeved but, I can't wait to start my life over again.....healthier and happier!! -
What is Stopping you?
daydreamerz replied to Suzannesh's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've already chickend out once and I am now undergoing the pre-op 6 month wait - I should be sleeved in mid-November. I'm currently gung-ho but, I do have worries that I'll back out of surgery again. This time around, I've tried to only disclose my upcoming surgery to supportive people. I surprisingly have still heard a couple negative comments but, I'm still plugg'n along! At 243 lbs, I KNOW that the VSG is what's best for me!! Thanks for the uplifting words!!!!!!!!!! -

Finally Made The Decision
daydreamerz replied to thinkingboutVSG's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Wow!! Your story mimics my own in that I WAS to be sleeved last December and I also changed my mind. I just turned 40 in April and because of health concerns AND wanting to see my beautiful girls grow up, I again decided on the sleeve. This website and it's members are such an encouragement. I visit at least twice a day - sometimes just to look at other's before and after pics. I hope to be sleeved in mid-November - this site is a wonderful resource!!! -
Well, HELLO VST!!
