Any April 10th Sleeves ?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on here. My sleeve was on April 10th. My sleeve was done by Dr Alvarez in Peidras Niegras, MX..

I wanted to meet people I can share this journey with :) My friends and family are supportive but they can't wrap there heads arounds why I chose this surgery. Every time I tell someone I had this surgery they look at me like I'm Nuts lol

I got contact dermatitis last week :( Went to urgent care and told the dr about my sleeve and she looked at me as if I ran over her dog lol

It's nice to have these forums and I welcome

All friends :)

How are you doing??

Im actually feeling GREAT! the only problem i have is getting the right amount of protien in. :(

Also.. I lost 27 pounds on the First week and lost only 4 the second week now going into the 3rd week i think im experiencing a stall... the weight just stays the same..

Is this happening to you??

Hey I was sleeved 4/15/13 and am down 43 lbs as of today. Total w/ 2 week pre op 55 lbs lost. Pretty excited. I have only told a few people that I had the surgery other than family. I didn't want to get that look either. I see my nutritionist next week. I am curious if I am eating too much/too little. I feel like the weight is coming off slow or something. I think I am getting in all the Protein without having to use shakes...and nothing really upsets my stomach. I kinda expected to have a hard time with certain foods but so far everything I have tried I can eat. Wonder if that is normal...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
