PLICATION DONE BY DR ROD ON 3-25-2011..HERE IS MY STORY



Recommended Posts

Hi Kerry,

I work out almost every day and have done so since mid-March (about 6 weeks post-op). I do Zumba, Kickboxing, treadmill, elliptical and swimming. I haven't done any overt abdominal exercises but that is mainly because I'm a total baby about my tummy. I also have a band over plication so I just feel like my tummy is more tender than someone who only had the plication. Make sure u ask ur doctor as well because different doctors have different waiting periods. Good luck to you and KUP!

Hi there,

I wanted to say good luck on your surgery, and I also had surgery with Dr Rod, its been 5 months since surgery and I have no complaints at all. I have lost 70 pounds and I feels fantastic!

Good luck to you!

I will pray for you for a speedy recovery and safe trip...

Thank you Misti...i am getting so nervous...lol i think i havnt felt this feeling in a long long time. not this exact feeling but the excited jitterz...thanks girl and i will let you know how i do and good job on your weight loss..thats awesome and i hope to have good results as well...i do have a question...do you feel like you have good amounts of energy yet...like to work out or go to the gym maybe Zumba which is my fav...lol

i really do enjoy working out and sweating and feeling better and im hearing alot that people just cant yet.. i thought id ask you being your at 6 weeks

HONESTLY, KERRY..I didnt feel my normal amount of energy until about week 4 post op.. Im a big shopper and I would try to shop on saturdays of weeks 1,2 and 3 and I couldnt.. I would just go back to my car. Thats when it hit me that I had a major surgery and I was still weak. Week 4 all things changed. I was still drinking Protein shakes which gave me loads of energy.. remember to get your rest in. That is really important. I would get winded walking around my house. I had to learn to sit my arse down and let my body heal. But between 21 and 28 days post op, I got my energy back.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
