Just had Surgery Monday!!



Recommended Posts

First post new to board. Just had surgery on Monday the 29th. I came home Tuesday and plan on going back to teach Monday. I feel great. I have no hunger, I have not thrown up and I am learning how to sip. The loss of hunger has been the greatest thing. I have not bitten into anything since Sunday afternoon. I really can see how this thing could work. The hardest thing was going a day and half without liquids, waiting on my "leak" test.

Thanks for sharing your experience and the best of luck to you. It sounds as though you are doing GREAT!

Did you have the sleeve or pication? Where did you have your surgery done? Who was your Dr.? I am scheduled to have surgery in early January and am so calmed to hear that you have no hunger and are doing great--back to work. That is so awesome. Thanks for sharing. Becky

That is such great new! Especially since I am a teacher, too. I am pretty impressed on you only taking off a week. You will have to let me know how you feel when you get back to the classroom. I am so glad you are feeling so great! That is amazing. :P

Had the vertical sleeve and it was done by Dr. Heider at the Lake Norman Regional Medical Center in Mooreseville, NC. I still have no hunger. I would love to taste food but I am following the program. That will come in a about 6 more days with the pureed foods first.

Thanks Becca!! I did share this journey with my students. They are excited to see me back and I am excited to see them. This whole thing has been amazing. There were times where I doubted what I was doing but not anymore.

It is good to hear you are doing well. I too have been playing with doubts and insecurities. Mostly for just the surgery part. I am nervous and scared. Although I don't doubt I will be successful after the surgery. I'm just scared of complications during the surgery.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
