Recommended Posts

Hi All!! I just wanted to update everyone =) Surgery was yesterday and I am doing great! little bit of gas and a little pain when I drink some fluids but doing great other than that. Had the stomach leak test and passed with flying colors. They removed the drain today and the IV will be removed tomorrow morning. The IV has been more of an irritation than the drain ever was!! They will pick me up in the morning at 10am to get me to the airport so I can go home!!! Woo Hoo! Can't wait to see my grandson =)

I will update when I get home tomorrow and hopefully we will all be able to meet soon! Thank you all for making this experience so much easier! I love the updates, the encouragement and the advice =) So happy we have this forum!!

Take care all and will talk to you soon! Here's to us ladies! Let's start thinking of a common weight loss weight goal reward!! Woo Hoo!

Both!!!!! I need to go to sleep I have to be @ the hospital @ 5:30AM!!! But my mind is just racing with all kinds of thoughts.

I prolly saw you there that morning. I also had my surgery on 6/27 @ Forest Park and had to be there at 5:30am. Great facility. My Aetna policy has an exclusion for all bariatic surgeries but once I get past this clear liquid diet I will be fine & it was worth every penny.

You know, after reading this and other posts from the DFW area, I am beginning to feel like the only guy to have sleeve surgery! :lol:

So can a sleeved guy attend?

Hi All,

my name is Jacqi! Mother of 2 boys, married for 6 years. Live in Dallas and work in Plano. Surgery was on the 18th of June at Doctors Hospital done by Dr.Barker. Still having buyers remorse, so I think the support group would be great for me!

Lessofme - This is for sleevers in the DFW area regardless of when they were sleeved. I would love to have a group of all different journeys so that we can have a good support system with where everyone is at! You are more than welcome to join =) We are in the beginning stages and have had a great response so I'm hoping this is going to be a successful group!! Thank you for your interest! We will be contacting everyone this week to get things in motion for a first meeting! Woo Hoo!!

By the way!! How is your journey coming so far??

Oh that is wonderful, thank you! What a great idea! :)

So far everything is good. I have had my trials and bumps here and there but mostly I have been blessed with a pretty good recovery. Im still learning so much about this journey and getting to know my changed tummy (sleeve). I feel like my weight loss is slow but I'm happy as can be for the weight I have lost :) never could have done it before. I do need to remember to keep my fluids up. I started reg foods and they really fill me up. I forget to drink!

How are things for you? :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
