Let's Check In November 2012 Sleevers!
Saltmistrose replied to timetobefree's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had a shock tonight. I was measuring myself for sewing patterns. I have lost a total of 65 lbs. since I 1st saw the dietician and the surgeon in April 2012. I had my sleeve done on November 29, 2012. I feel good and look better. My current clothes are loose, but still wearable. Anyway, according to the size charts, I am still a size 26/28. I was almost ready to cry. I am very good about what I eat, exercise, and water intake. I thought I was on target, but wearing the same large size, makes me doubt myself. Any ideas about why my measurements and size is so much the same as before the weight loss? -
Well if the proof is in the pudding, my pudding is sour. I was measuring myself for sewing patterns. I am still around a size 26/28 even after being down 65 lbs. I think I am going to cry.

cudlyqt: I don't know what is going on with your hair. My hair has always been fine and thin. My surgery was on 11/29/12 and I have had no change in my hair to date. I do take Optisource Vits. which are a post bariatric formula of vits. They do have Biotin in the formulation, which is specifically for hair loss prevention/minimization. I certainly would check with my dietician and/or surgical team about the problem. Funny enough, my nails have always been a splitting, peeling mess. Since surgery, I have not replaced my nail tips that I had always had to fix this longstanding problem. I am now growing my own nails and manicuring them myself, with good results, post surgery. They are much stronger and look pretty good. Good luck in finding a solution to your problem. Karen

I'm not sure if I ever posted anything before in this forum. I am barely a November 2012 sleever! I was sleeved on November 29th, 2012. I am just about 2 months out and feel I am doing well. Funny thing is, I am the last person that seems to notice how well I am doing. I have posted both "before" and "after" photos of myself in the same outfit. You can see changes clearly in the pictures, however, I don't seem to be as aware of the changes as others are. When I had my hair cut, as in my profile picture, I saw the changes much more clearly. My brain keeps painting my image in the mirror, as being fatter than it really is. The brain does play tricks on us I think. Anyway, in total, to date, I have lost a total of around 65 lbs., since I saw the surgeon in April of 2012. Just thought I would share this with all the graduating class of November 2012! All of you keep up the good work! Stay strong and be well! Karen -

I am starting to wonder why I have so little energy now that I am 4 weeks post surgery. Anybody got a clue as to what is going on with me?

I am 4 weeks and 4 days past my VGS date. I did very well during and after my surgery. I am sleeping well and have very little discomfort. I am eating well and have no problems with food, fluids, or Vitamins. I just have very little energy. I go to sleep tired and wake up tired. I do have Fibromyalgia and depressive illness, but I am taking my regular medications and have not noticed any change in these conditions, post surgery. What is going on? Anybody got a clue as to what is happening to me? I have started my exercise routine as well, but don't feel any better of or worse from it. Let me know if you have experienced this and/or if you have any ideas as to why I feeling this way. Thanks! Karen

Webcast of VSG Surgery-Complete
Saltmistrose posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have already had my surgery, but I thought this video might be informative for anyone who wants to see what is involved in this surgery before they have it. I think it is very complete and very informative. I hope you like it and that it helps you make your decision about the VSG of the WLS options. Stay strong and Be Well.

I am looking at getting a Fitbit Ultra if I can score one off Ebay at a more reasonable price. I have already enter some information on the various logs they offer online. I hope I can get one before Christmas. I had my surgery on the 29th of November, and I am just about ready to start up the exercise part of my post-op plan. I have a X-trainer and have some hand weights and ankle weights. I hope to fight off the Bingo wings and my apron flap at the age of 56 and being obese for 35+ years. Here's hoping this gadget helps me in my recovery journey.
