Good luck

Has anyone gained weight before surgery? My sleeve date is the 19th of June

I'm so glad I don't smoke, if I had a Doctor that would do a sleeve on a person that smoked I would run as far away from that quack, insurances agree with the Doctors who won't operate cause it cause more health problem down the line. Most of you are young and feel you are bullet proof and you feel fine now ,but when you get middle age and have COPD and taking breathing treatments, let alone how much ulcers you will have on your stomach. Take it for what it's worth on these warnings. Yes I see some of you it's your choice to smoke so do it in your home and not outside in my air.

Thankyou all, I thought that what is was but was not sure

Thankyou and I got my appointment @ Schneck, I like the hospital and the staff is so friendly and I'm close to home

I only have a two day liquid diet no protein drinks, just chicken broth , water, tea.. Then I go the 19th for surgery, that's what I'm doing now but havering protein drinks on my own and its tough, good luck to you I'm sure you will do good

I do trust that, BUT I been reading some but not all have no hunger feeling at all and one been 7 months done the line, there been quite a few, some say they have a empty feeling and they guess it a hunger feeling but the all said it was time to eat anyway, I just hope that happens to me, but like anything a little work at it shouldn't be that big of a problem

Oh I'm sure I will get hungry but my meal portions should be way less and I'm sure that alone should help me in my weight loss, I weighed as much as 575 lbs went to Metabolic weight loss.... lost weight to 255 lbs drinking their supplements along with a meal and eating five times a day , I was hungry all the time and I'd would cheat a lot eating like 15 oz of cheddar at one sitting but I'd still loose weight but just to make this story short as soon as I thought I could buy my own protein drink and do the meal plan, I started to gain weight back on, now I'm up to 430 lbs, I'm 6'5 been told i carry this weight well but who are they kidding.. It's hard lugging around this weight, June 19 is when I get sleeved so all I want is a smaller stomach and if need to be Dr. Cooper said we could do and 2nd surgery if need to be but he feels very confident that the sleeve is all I need. I will wait and see. I enjoy hearing others feed back on this, it helps prepare my mind, and once I set my mind there nothing stopping me I just need that tool cause on food I need help, I like to cook and love to eat.

I have to find out what the dates are again, I have my black notebook what they gave me out in the truck, I will have to look and reread it cause my surgery date is June 19. I must admit I was discourage at time sticking to my diet cause I'd get frustrated on not a surgery date or I was too high risk until I had more test. So I said good bye to my last high calorie meal and back on a1300 cal diet until I do the liquid diet. But I'm so excited to get this over with.

Never got called so I called them , and they are arranging the date and time, a little frustrated but I been going through this since January and I'm trying to be patience; so secretary said she will call me tomorrow and let me know, she said everything is a go

Omg.. That long in the hospital .. So how are you doing now? How is you venture going on weight and eating ? I been to 3 of the support group meeting at the hospital not counting the one I was required to do.. I'm still waiting for them to call and tell me the date for surgery , I'm wanting to call them but I will wait till tomorrow if I don't hear anything then I will call.

I will be having my surgery by Dr. Cooper in Seymour, he does the robotic surgery , I'm just glad it will be near home. Does everyone go through the robotic surgery?? Still waiting to find out when, I been trying to do this since January . I think they ran me every test the could think of, heart Cather etc etc etc. all my steps are done. But at the same time I wonder if its the surgery that will help me loose the weight and keep it off, and help me subdue my hunger. I hate having a plate stack up high with food, eating it and filling full but five minutes later I'm starved . I just hopes it helps with this, I been fight my weight since 2000,

I'm from Southren Indiana in Austin, just got approved Friday find out Monday what will be the surgery date will be

I'm suppose to get the surgery done with robotics; is that how you was done or was it done the old way?

Wow , I hope I have at least the same or better on the weight loss as you did! Great job!

My sexual appetite is high already and I have not had the sleeve surgery yet I'll find out Monday , I'm in big trouble if it increases after surgery down the road, will it stay the same or will it be more? Or just feel good about myself with the weight loss?

You're pretty enough to have a boy friend in no time, I have not had surgery yet but I'm kinda going through the same thing and that empty pain feeling you get when a break up occurs is terrible but in due time and only time will heal the heart and just focus on things to make you better and stay single for awhile and watch the door come knocking with guys.. Good luck and you look great!

I'm not bragging butttttt, when I have my sleeve done ( I will find out Monday) if I grow anymore I'll have to get a penis reduction... Lol

So are you in any pain? Hunger? Filled when you eat?? Tired?

You mean you was a Austin Eagle?

Congratulations on your weight loss, how long have u had the sleeve?
