Success stories, please.
Diana_in_Philly replied to AmandaWho's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
April 2016 I weighed 271.5 - I'm 5'3". I was 5x5. I was squeezing into size 22 pants. Had surgery 8/23/16. I'm 9 months post-op and 94.9 pounds down from my high weight and about 25 pounds from my goal. The size 10 jeans I just bought are getting big and I've given all my 12s to my daughter who is a senior in High School. The first week or two was tough. But your body is healing from major surgery. Be patient and kind to yourself. When I look at photos of last year versus now, I can't believe its the same person. It will come off one pound at a time. You got this. -
I had my post op appt today with my surgeon. I am down 19 lbs from my last pre op visit. He is very pleased with my progress. I am currently in the waiting room waiting to see my dietician and may be able to move on to the next diet stage. :-)

Success stories, please.

Hi! I started this journey weighing 258 lbs and in the 6 weeks pre-op I lost 23 lbs, which put me at 235 on surgery day. The surgical experience couldn't have been any better. I was up walking the halls 1 1/2 hours post-op. Minimal pain. It just felt like I had done a TON of sit ups. I know some people have a horrible time with gas pain, but I had none. I spent one night in hospital and was discharged first thing in the morning. The best things you can do is move - walk, walk, walk, get some sleep, and keep sipping your water! Post-op things have gone well. Track your fluid and protein intake and aim for getting in a little more each day. I'm 10 weeks post-op now and just entered "onederland". I now weigh 198.6 So 36 lbs since surgery! I feel amazing and am so happy with my decision to have surgery as well as how things have gone! I couldn't have dreamed of a better experience. My best advice is to take good "before" pictures of yourself - face and full body - and take measurements! That way when the scale seems to be stuck, you can track progress in other ways. Pulling on jeans that I couldn't get over my hips a couple months ago is the greatest feeling! Good luck with your surgery!! Keep us all posted on how things go! -
Dec 2018 surgery updates please
Sophie7713 replied to LasVegasMike's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It is wonderful to read all your success stories and the mounting rewards as December 2018 sleevers! Wow. My surgery was 12/17/2018 at NW Medical Center in Coral Springs, FL. I am currently three pounds away from onederland!!! A total of 57 pounds from 258 start weight the first of December. Usually major consecutive holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas thru New Years in the past, meant a weight gain for me. I tried to use restraint, but all the rich, high calorie "specialty foods" of the season just continued the never ending weight battle + cycle resulting in feeling more discouraged and hopeless with each passing year. :[ BUT NOT THIS New Year of 2019! I love my sleeve and so glad to have begun a new, hopeful and promising track! Does anyone else feel the same? Refreshing, right? My blood pressure and blood tests all came back healthy - And, left injured, problematic knee is much improved. Bowels have stabilized and vitamin regime no longer causes nausea. I follow closely Dr. V and my nutritionist's recommendations for balanced nutrition with moderate exercise, at this 3 ½ month juncture. Other aspects I am thrilled about is the ability to be satisfied with so much less volume of food. I really have not missed sugar, salt or fat laden recipes and desserts. While I had made major changes in my diet losing 41 pounds (298 at highest point) before considering surgery last November, the sleeve just simplifies and propels me forward in getting to my healthy weight. I desire to drop another 40 pounds and feel the confidence I can now do so. Not to mention, keeping it off and maintaining a healthy weight via reduced stomach - Breaking the vicious cycle. I have not seen the scale read under 200 pounds in over 23 years! That's a lot of baggage for this petite 5'0" frame and interior designer constantly on her feet. My clothes closet has been purged and taken to a quality consignment shoppe or Goodwill - Now shopping in regular departments for limited clothing in size large for tops and XL for slacks. Most of these sale items are quickly becoming too loose. So happy to no longer see 1X, 2X or 3X (at highest weight) on my clothing labels. Right? Excited for my size 10 and petite medium goal. Really proud of all of us! Let's keep on sharing our victories and "all the nuances" of becoming our best physically and emotionally. None can truly appreciate nor understand this journey we embark... except for us. That makes us a pretty fabulous group of comrades. Happy spring everyone! ;] -
Restriction, but not losing weight.. help?
JazzyRayne posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery 6/3/10 and I was losing weight through out June and July. Pre-op and the weight i lost during the two months is about 30 lbs. But August I actually gained weight. I got a fill later in August and I am up to 5ccs in a 10cc band. I feel A LOT of restriction, and i eat a lot less. I also work out monday-friday. I lost 2 lbs right after my fill... but nothing since. I dont understand. I dont want to get another fill and be uncomfortable. I am kinda discouraged. Does anyone have any suggestions? -
I have completed my 6 months of medically supervised weight loss. I am weighting for my tax return so that I can go to the exercise specialist, dietician, and nutritionist. I still need to see the psychologist. I will more than likely have to go through pre-op testing again because I last did some of it on August 26. So I am really worried that this is all too good to be true right now. So with that being said, how much longer do you think it would be until I can schedule my surgery? Or at least, can anyone tell me if they were near the point that I am right now, how long it took them? I didn't think I would ever get to this point. I am really wondering though, I am currently 5'9" and I am flirting with 340lbs. I have a larger bone structure and I was wondering what a good size for me to shoot for would be. I kept saying I would love to be a size 10, but I'm wondering if that's too little. I currently wear a 24, sometimes 26 pants, and a 3x top. I also know that everyone is different. My sister had the gastric bypass back in 2000, and she was a 5x, she got down to a size 18 and looked unhealthy. I am worried that I will do that too. Any input will help right now! This is just all over the place, but I was practically typing what I was thinking at the time! Sorry!

Hi! New To The Boards!
Kerinilla replied to Kerinilla's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ms V and Amytug- I think that for the most part, UH is trying to see who can hang on long enough to keep at it for six months. Kinda weeding people out. Just making you jump through hoops, so people will give up. Not me! Amy, I can lose weight too- and like you, I can't keep it off! I have a nurse that works for UH that told me, " if you lose weight during the six month diet, it won't be counted against you. The first weigh-in that the Dr. Takes is the weight we base our decision on. But- I wouldn't gain any weight while on it. "So, I plan on losing about 25-30 lbs. my Dr. Said he jus needs 10-15 to shrink my liver, and he's happy. Some companies that use UH don't require the 6 month supervised diet. Some only 3 months. Some nothing at all. Depends on your employer. If you're unsure as to what your protocol is, call your insurance and grill them for specifics. hope I helped! Hope that answers your questions. -
I had my IUD taken out in February and I have gained 10 lbs. I knew I had gained 5 but I got on this morning and I am up 10 lbs! I am sick over this.

My Father used to tell me "Katie, patience is a virtue". I got so sick of hearing that. Then, one day, I saw a tshirt on somebody that said "Patience, hell! I wanna kill something!" I'm sorry this is taking so long. I know that my doctor gave me a tenantive surgery date on my first visit with him .... and that date was 25 days later. He said "we probably won't have everything completed by then, but you're on the book." Ultimately, we moved it to 2/10, still not too far out. Of course, I was self-pay so things moved faster. I put the push on my sleep study (translate, I fibbed a little). I told them I had a surgery date and they were the only thing holding me up and I needed to finish the evaluation process with them ASAP. And I called them EVERY DAY, LOL. i could tell that woman was sick of hearing my voice. But it got it handled faster. GOOD LUCK:thumbup:

Me and you are in the same boat; I too am 19 and getting sleeved in May. I don't have any weight-related health problems such as back pain but I can see myself having some later on, plus I have a bad family history of medical problems, so I'm hoping this surgery will spare me from most of that

Dear Amber, my BMI was "only" over 34 when I got sleeved, but I wish I had it done 10 years ago (I am 30 now). I would have saved myself a lot of health troubles. And I would have been happier. It does change your life, but before the sleeve I lived for food, right now I have so many other interestests! Like my skinny friends I eat and drink just a little bit and have more time for other stuff. I really wish I had it done before...

Getting Sleeved Young
smileforamile91 replied to Amber's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 19 years old, I have been overweight all my life, and have tried time and time again to lose weight. I am having surgery in May and it is a life changing experience, but think about what will happen if you don't. All of the health problems as we get older, I am 19 years old and I have back and knee pain daily! I'm not trying to push my decision on you, just giving you my side. Good luck in your decision, message me if you want to talk -
Think of it this way, we'll be avoiding future health problems that would come along with waiting! or, would you rather lose excess weight you've been carrying for 5 years or 10 years? Surely most people would pick 5 years because that means there is less damage to your body right?

Getting Sleeved tomorrow - getting a little scared
debking811 replied to Kikiphiasmom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved in June and 37lbs down as of now it's the best thing I ever did..I feel wonderful..no more swollen ankles and I just bought 3 pr size 10 jeans..great feeling! You will be just fine..and you def will have no regrets!! The worst part about the surgery is not eating and drinking at the same time but I always drank my iced tea after I ate anyways. I had the jitters prior to the surgery..heck we all do but again you will never regret it. -
need2bhealthy - while at my consult, I met with all four team members and the Insurance Coordinator told me tht I'd have no problem whatsoever being approved for this procedure with my husband's UHC coverage. She said that they are a DREAM to work with. Also, I was a bit nervous that UHC wouldn't cover me because I didn't think I had any of the co-morbidities everyone talks about. Well, I wsa wrong. I have high cholesterol -- managed by meds -- and asthma flare-ups -- managed with an inhaler -- and she told me that those ARE co-morbidities. In either case, my husband's UHC coverage doesn't demand that I have any of those, anyhow. Read on.... alcon - when I called my husband's UHC customer service, I asked if the lap band were a covered procedure, and he told me that is was. I asked if I could give him a specific code and, after sighing and acting like I was a bother, he looked up the code and said, "Yes, like I told you, it IS covered." I then asked what the criteria was for being covered and he said all I hafta have is a BMI greater than 35. I was surprised and stated such, and he again acted like I was being a pest and told me to have my surgeon's Insurance Coordinator contact them, and they'd get everything worked out. I, like you, hung up the phone feeling somewhat frustrated and felt as if I were being dismissed. So, since I won't be effective on hubby's insurance until 01-01-07 -- and since I've had every reassurance from both the surgeon's office and the insurance carrier that this will be a covered procedure, I'm going to try to quit worrying about it.

Serious pain left groin
vicbrad replied to linsue64's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on 10/29. I had the very same pain, only on the right side. It was very low and the pain came in waves like contractions. I sure it was gas because I am just now getting over the gas pains. -
Gas-x, should I use it?
LittleLizzieLilliput posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was 10/10. I had the BGS, gallbladder removed, hernia repair and the had to repair a gastric diverticulitis. When I drink or lay down for a while my shoulders and upper chest kind of hurt. This is from the gas used in surgery I think. I do lots of walking and sit up straight when drinking. I make sure to swallow small amounts but it's still a bit like swallowing an air bubble. Would Gasx strips help this? Thanks guys!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
A quick update and Goodwill shopping
highfunctioningfatman posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I've lost over 30 inches from my chest, stomach, biceps, thighs and calfs. I'm down to 246 pounds for a total loss of 66 pounds. I went to Goodwill today and bought a 17.5 shirt, a XL sweater and a pair of 32x30 Wrangler slim fit jeans! I can clearly recall being in southern California and looking for 33 pants. I would have been 9 or just turned 10 as we moved to Oregon a month after I turned 10. Sad but true... This fat man can kiss my saggy ass !- 17 replies

I hit that 70 pound mark today! I'm finally losing at a pretty good pace again, at least this week. I'm now just one pound from a "normal" BMI! I bought a size 10 pant suit yesterday, and it fits!! Yahoo! I love my band!

I think it would depend most on why his cholesterol is high. If its because of diet yes it will reduce. If its because of genetics it might not. Excersise is the only thing besides medication that will help with genetic high cholesterol according to my doctor. We had a long talk about cholesterol one day because she had to increase my lipitor from 20mg to 40 despite the fact that have been conciously on a low cholesterol diet of sorts for the last 10+ years. I started to get really upset. Cause we do eat very little fatty foods. She said mine must be more due to genetics then diet and that was why she had to increase my dose. But heck losing weight and getting more excersie will help with all of his health matters in some form, so even if it doesn't handle/reduce the cholesterol he still has other good reasons to do somekind of WLS. I can't blame him for not wanting a bypass the fact they cut up and rearrage internal organs turned me off of it too. lol plus everyone I know personally whos had the bypass have nasty side effects or are gaining their weight back!!

Does everyone have hair loss?
Mickey527 replied to onenuttynurse's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the band placed in Sept. and have been really worried about how much hair I have been losing. to the point where I would go 3 days without shampooing because I couldn't deal with the clogged drain and the hair that I pulled from my brush. And if I ran my hands through my hair I would get 10-20 strands each time, all day long. and my pillowcase would be covered when I woke up. I do have to say that it is slowing down. Yesterday when I washed it I only had 3 strands come out and about 20 in the brush. When I run my hands through now I get maybe 2, sometimes none, and no hair on my pillowcase for the past few nights. I have always gotten enough protein and the Dr said it might have been my gallbladder which could have caused some of the loss but since my surgery last week I see a great improvement. I always had thin hair, but alot of it, now I have 1/2 of what I had before and it is thinner. I don't see the new short growth yet but it's early. I do have to say, that no matter how many people on these boards reassured me that it would grow back, I was still not a believer and it really was worrisome. -
Did anyone have to do lovenox injections?
JustinH replied to Bryn910's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes currently I am on my second injection out of 10.. can’t wait until the clot risk is over... that’s what is freaking me the hell out -
I am 10 weeks out from surgery and started noticing a few days ago that my tummy felt sore after I ate. I thought maybe I ate too much, so I decided to eat less next time. At the next meal, I noticed the soreness/pain was back after the first few bites. The final straw was when I simply had a glass of Water before bed Friday night, and the pain was back. The pain isn't debilitating, more annoying than anything. I feel it after I eat/drink and anytime I'm stretching or laying on my stomach. It feels like it's coming more from the band and not the port. I came here and read numerous posts Friday night and didn't conclude anything, but it seemed like the remedy for almost everything was going back on a liquid diet. So, I did that yesterday, but no change yet. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks for your help!

That is sad, I've heard about people, and met them at my fills that got the band and continued to eat like junk food junkies. I gave that garbage up years ago, my gutt made me. One lady at my last fill (I have had 5 fills and I'm at 6.6 out of 10) she got the one fill and never came back and gained ALL she had lost. She was at her wits end. She gained courage, came back and did the fill, I've not heard or seen her and wonder just how she is doing. Lets face it I was in for an easier ride and that is just not panning out for me, I've faced much bigger problems before I'll get there one way or another. --- going to go find more posts ... thanks for your input.
