UPDATE ON OCTOBER SLEEVERS WHERE ARE YOU



Recommended Posts

Wow, everyone is doing awesome! Of course we all heard that we would be successful, but if ya'll are like me, nothing in the weight loss department has ever been successful. So, it was, I'll believe it when I see it, for me. I still don't see it in the mirror,but I certainly do on the scale! So, here's my latest:

Just hit 6 months post op, HW 273 and CW 170. I'm so proud of myself and am off all of my meds (15 in total) for asthma, fibromyalgia, neuropathy, anxiety, hypothyriodism, and several muscle relaxers and pain meds.

I went to the dr today and left super ticked off. My door was cracked open and I overheard the medical asst talking to another office worker two doors down at the nurses station and this is what he said, "This girl is on Clonopin, Norco, (and he went down the list of my former meds) and shes complaining of palpitations, no wonder she has palpitations..." I got up, walked out there, and said, "my door IS cracked open!" and walked back in the room. I didn't get an apology or anything! When the dr came in, he discussed my urine with me and asked me to call in the morning because he thinks it may be my thyroid levels and at that point I said, "well I'm sure it has nothing to do with the Clonopin, Norco, or other meds I'm no longer taking unlike what you medical asst was discussing regarding my medication history with the nurses station." I thought I was going to have to pick him up, he didn't respond for several seconds and then apologized saying that they'd get my records straightened out. So, I said, "well it's not the records I'm concerned about. My concern is that your medical asst discussed my medical history with someone other than anyone he was giving report to and haven worked in a hospital for 12 years, I know a little bit about my HIPAA rights." He walked out and I heard him giving him hell, but I still didn't get an apology. Errr, I'm still getting judged. I hate it! Sorry for the rant!

On a better note, I just got through kidney stones without being hospitalized or having to have a stent unlike in the past!

Here is my recent pic:

I am in my 9th month high weight 365 lost 83 lbs its truly a blessing from God. I have not had one stall or weight gain. WHY because I weigh at the end of each month ONLY on my surgery day, workout 6 days a week and drink 10 glasses of Water per day and consume 1200 calories a day and eat something every 3 hrs to boost my matablism loving me and life. Keep up the good work

I was sleeved 10/10/12 and lost 150 pounds but I am at a stall can't seem to move. I went back to the gym but because I can eat more I am eating more. So I went to Weight Watchers last weekend. I am trying to get out of the 300's been there for over 25 years. I am determined to make it happen.

      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.
