Im Not Ashamed But Need Help Coping With Questions I Dont Want To Answer...
bigkim replied to LorenaVaca's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved April 10th. Starting weight 261 and now 210. I work at a doctors office and everyone knows about my surg. Since I am the practice administer I don't get rude comments to my face, but I am sure the fat jokes exist. Don't really care. I love the new me and I love the fact that I can live a longer active healthy life for my husband and children. Work it just that "work". I don't tend to have personal relationships with the staff and they are clear on that issue. Sadly the only person in my family that knows is my husband and sister. I did not tell the kids because I did not want to worry them. They have noticed the wieght loss and also commented on me being more active. You do what make u happy and that is what matters the most. -
Dr Kim And Forest Park Medical Center
bigkim replied to newlifeforlittleME's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I also used Dr.Kim. I was sleeved on April 10th. My starting weight was 261 and 3month 2 weeks later I am 211. Weight loss of 50 lbs. I was Dr.Kims first patient of the day. Got to hospital and was wheeled back before 5am. I too over packed and used only tooth brush, fresh panties, socks, lip balm and my cell and charger. I could have guest. My husband and children both came but I was in no mood to visit. I was nauseous and dizzy I did not do anything but sleep. I had zero gas pains. Only pain I had was being dizzy and nauseous. I hardly even walked cause I could not keep my balance. I stayed my full two days because I was to sick to go home. They give you nothing but clear liquids and they stated horrible. You are asked to sip several shots per hour and log it. I of course did nothing and sipped nothing. I was just to sick to hold my head up. I was pumped full of liquids through the iv but I still when home dehydrated. I ended up taking two weeks off instead of the one week. I again forced myself to drink liquids because being dehydrated was causing the dizziness, headaches, nausea and fatigue. If it was not for the advise of dooter I would have never figure out you got to sip sip sip or ur recovery will be horrible. Three months two weeks out I don't regret it one bit. Good luck. -

Be Honest What Did You Cheat On Your 2 Week Post-Op?
bigkim replied to Karen2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did not cheat. I was self pay and scared to death he would open me up and not complete the surg. Can't afford the risk. -
I was self pay no nut doctor. The nutrition session was a group session for me. Just watch a video and sampled pre- op shakes and of course asked questions. Pam is her name and she was nice but in a group session some people just ask the stupidest things. Also she shows u an example of the sleeve size and you get to feel what the staples feel like. Good experience for me. The nut part is helpful and I did not understand that until after surgery....I could have used a couple of nut sessions to get me prepared for the first month. I stared off into space with a blank stare for at least two weeks. Good luck to u!

Same for me. My sister would tell people "she had fat people survey" and only lost 30 pounds. I am thinking OMG it has been a month!!!! Now three months today I am down 44 pounds and she is finally speechless.
