Just home, surgery was yesterday!



Recommended Posts

Well, I am SLEEVED!!! It honestly doesn't feel much different at all! I did have a hiatal hernia they had to repair, that was very uncomfortable for the first 2 hours after waking up, and the gas felt like something was sitting on my chest, but that has improved with every hour. Walking around and sipping Water to burp was the best relief.

I am home now, on my couch watching TV. I will try to update my video blog journey today to describe more fully the experience and go show my incisions but I am just so thrilled. I'm happy to be a member of the club and I already don't miss my old stomach!

I'm getting sleeved tomorrow. My only issue is my friend's wife had the bypass and had complications. He told my room mate and I think he is concerned he will have to take care of me.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
