10 weeks post, haven't lost anything in 4 weeks
Monikareigh replied to twin85's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You weight training... A fabulous thing, but it will cause you to gain muscle... And you could be in a stall, i know you want to see more numbers on the scale, your excited to see the changes... But keep at it, maybe up your protein you will see some changes, i figure mass is more important then weight. -

Thats disheartening... Have you been tracking your inches lost... You may not see numbers on the scale but is there any inches lost, how are your clothes fitting? -

You are going to do wonderful. You are a brave, and change is scary. This time next year when your flaunting your sexiness youll laugh about how anxiety almost took this away. I have it too, and its awful, but you arnt your diagnosis and you are worth it. -

Did you need surgery to get your stomach that flat -
I guess there is only 1 surgeon at the QE2. Dr James Ellsmere
-
This is just the first appointment since i was referred. So other then being referred ive heard nothing. I tried to get referred to other clinics but since the wait times are so long they were refused.
-
The first appointment is with 50 people, a group thing. But i dont know what to expect after that.

Nails and polish remover
Monikareigh replied to FAT TWO FABULOUS's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Its not only the o2 monitoring its the fact that nail polish and tips and those things can harbour bacteria... No matter how much you clean them they arnt ever really clean... So some places wont let you do to the risk of infection... Trust me if you ever seen a staph infection in a surgical wound you'd understand where they're coming from. Where i work anything on your nails is completely banned, its simply not worth the risk to the patients or the risk to bring something home. -
Getting sleeved tomorrow!
