Have chronic back pain and had microdiscecomy 18 months ago with okay results. For folks who have been sleeved.. Did your back pain get better or go away after surgery? I am hoping my pain will decrease !! I am so sick of being in pain !❤️

Nov 2013 Sleevers Progress So Far...
TeresaRN replied to soonerorlater's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sleeved 11/19.. Have only lost 21 pounds total since 11/9 with my pre op diet. Lost it all in two weeks because I haven't lost anything in the last 13 days. Called my doc and he set me up with my nutritionist next week. So frustrating to work out .. Drink fluids like crazy .. Eat 500 cal a day and lose nothing . It's heartbreaking . Hope this stall ends soon. -
November buddies where are you?

Hi Jen! I was sleeved on 11/19. I am also only down 22pounds since pre op and surgery . I have not lost any weight in almost two weeks. I am getting a little nervous about it but I keep chugging forward . Eating right .. Going to the gym. Don't have to go back to work until the new year. This stall has been awful! I just keep hoping it will end soon ! -

Things I will NOT miss about being fat.

*i won't miss holding my breath when I tie my shoes *getting winded going up stairs *working a 12hr shift and not feeling like death has rolled over me *buying clothes off a rack that are cute and age appropriate *skiing again... *being comfortable In a bathing suit *being able to dance all night long with the hubs!!❤️ -

Finally got my date!! Nov 19th will be my new birthday!! -
I would not eat your way to a BMI of 40. Call your insurance. Get a letter from your PCP saying they recommend the surgery. See if you can start meds for your cholesterol and get a cpap. Gaining more weight is not the answer.

No shaving!! They will clip you at the hospital ! Shaving can cause open areas to your skin and you are at higher risk for infection!!

Will you lie about the surgery?
TeresaRN replied to BigD35's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am telling everyone !! They all think I am crazy and not that over weight. I am nurse and getting surgery where I work. I just can't lie to people and I really don't care what others think !! -
In your consent for surgery did it say anything about fixing a hernia?? If not you don't have to pay .most likely you will have I pay. Just give them 20 bucks a month and they can't send you to collections. what a bummer!!

Just got my insurance approval !! So excited I teared up!! Waiting on the scheduler to call me back to set a date!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Here's to better health!! -
I get that all the time too. I am 5'4 and 215 pounds. I have tried everything to lose weight and it won't come off . Now I have herniated disks in my back that cause me a great deal of pain. When I tell people about getting surgery they roll their eyes and tell me to eat less. If it was that easy we would all be thin. I now can give a frick what others think. This surgery if for me! ❤️ Good luck babe!
