This Is Only The Beginning Of It All..
Sherry77 replied to choc_thicktothin's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Congrats on being approved. I found that some family members were supportive and others not so much. What many people don't realize is the daily mental struggle that we go through being heavy. You have to do what Is best for you. Good luck -
My pulmonologist prescribed lovenox injections 1x day for 10 days after surgery for blood clots. I am not afraid to administer an injection as I used to be a nurse, however I'm not sure I've seen this as a discussion. What other post-op meds can I expect?

Any Advice On How To Quit Smoking?
Sherry77 replied to mommybo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had to quit 1 month prior to surgery. The E.cig helped trmendously. I was more of a hand to mouth addict, hence my weight issue, everyone is different. I think you just really have to set your mind to it. This surgery was a huge motivator. Good luck -
I would ask your md at your next post-op viit. I had my 10 day post op appt and was told I could swim in another week.

I would recommend the sleeve. Doctors are offering it more now because insurance companies have caught on to the high success rate it has, and are now covering the procedure. FYI I was told that if you are not happy with the sleeve you could have it revised to RNY, although this choice is very rare. BTW I am 11 days post op and love my sleeve so far. Good luck to you.

Where did you get the pitcher? That sounds like a great invention.

Wow... Thanks for the great advice and keeping it real. I will remember your story when I reach my goal and beyond.

I had the same exact fear. I knew I was depressed because of the weight gain, and I was afraid this would hinder the clearance. took a 600 question true false test. The psychologist basically said " I know it will come back as your depressed". They really just want to make sure that you don't have any eating disorders or any other self sabatoging behavior that will put you at risk after surgery. Don't worry it will be fine.

All I know is I make sure I've peed, pooped and am wearing my birthday suit when my feet hit that scale. :-)
