Surgery Date 7-20-2016~ needs a friend
Qwalla replied to Michilingi's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hi I had sleeve surgery on the 27 of july. Things are going good. I look at each day as a new challenge. I have to be on full liquids for total of 3 weeks. About half way through. After that mushy food and 64 oz of Fluid each day for 3 weeks. Then to somewhat finding out what foods my new tummy likes. I can't have Pasta bread or grains until I have lost 75 percent of the projected weight loss. Good luck to you and stay positive. Best wishes from Idaho!

I know that sleep apnea, high blood pressure are a couple. Hopefully you will get the answers you want. Good luck with that. Hope things work out for you.

Most people could care less what you eat. They will be eating and not caring. Just tell them whatever you want...this is your life and you dont owe anyone an explanation. One gal said she just moved foid around on her plate and no one even knew the difference. Get creative and good luck. It is all about you now!!! Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

What should I expect in my first visit?
Qwalla replied to jtellechea001's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi I started this at the first of the year. My insurance required 6 months of doctor supervised weight loss efforts. I was just sleeved 9 days ago. I was very bummed to have to wait that long and almost chose to not have it. Guess what? There were so many things including classes, etc that the time flew by. I am so grateful that I had the six months and classes my hospital had to get my head wrapped around this life changing journey. Mostly it just depends on your particular insurance requirements. From what I have seen on here it varies greatly. Let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck and congrats!!! Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App -
That is awesome. I had mine a week ago. Hoping for great results like you have had. Congrats!

Had my sleeve last wednesday came home the next day. Doing well each day comes with challenges. Drink..drink..drink. Some pain by the larger incision. Total of 5 small incisions. The small ones each have 2 staples..the larger one has 5. Get staples out Thursday. Each day gets a little better. A bit hard for me getting out of bed by myself without pulling too much. Keeping the eye on the prize of a better healthier life. Good luck to all of you!!! Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

CALLING ALL JULY 2016 SLEEVERS
Qwalla replied to Tresa Embil's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just had the sleeve yesterday. I survived without any problems. Pain level is tolerable. I could go home today but have to pass gas and drink the amount if required fluid. Perhaps tomorrow. So glad to have this part of my journey over. I am walking lots around the hospital halls. It makes me feel better. Good luck all. No pokemon in the halls that I can find!
