Calling All April Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Ok it is now May!! How is everyone feeling? How much have you lost so far? Any regrets? I was sleeved on the 8th

I am doing good. My surgery went well. I don't remember much about that day. I guess before surgery I was dancing and singing. I really wasn't nervous. I was more calm than I thought I would be. After I was sleepy and mean lol. I didn't have any pain really. No gas pains, or stomach pain. Day 2 was my hardest day for some pain but I stayed up on my meds and slept a lot. I do have an incision that is bleeding today. I fell on my stomach Sunday and I noticed it looked odd after that. Then today I woke up with a bloody incision. It's not painful. I of course called my doctor.

I have lost 23lbs so far. I am pleased with this. I am dehydrated. Which makes me weak and I'm now getting dizzy when going from sitting to standing. Which sucks. I'm trying to get my Water in.

I have no regrets. I am happy with my choice.

Ok now tell me how you're doing.

I had my surgery on 4/12 and I'm doing great. The occasional pain every now and then if I stretch wrong. Doc told me I could go on solid but am waiting another week or so because of selling still making it a lil hard to swallow solid food. Other than that im great. Walking 8 miles a day with a HR monitor and a 20 pound vest. Haven't weighed myself yet, not going to for a lil, I do not want to become dependent on the scales.

Glad to hear that your doing well, keep up the great work

I was sleeved on April 9th and am doing well. I has hardly any pain and other then being extra tired I felt relatively normal. Pre- op included I have lost 26 pounds. However I have not lost ANYTHING in 10 days, I know this is usually to be expected but I wouldn't have minded seeing the scale move a pound or too ;)

I have been walking since the first day home, at first around the block once and now around the block 3-4 times a night. I have also started doing the bike at the gym as well as very very light weight circuit training.

I feel all messed up with food, Protein and water......I am getting 60 grams of protein, about 64 oz of Water but I was told not to track calories yet. Looking forward to seein my NUT tomorrow, hopefully I will get some more guidance!

Sleeved 4/10 and I've been struggling. Tried to move to mushy/puréed but I guess I wasn't ready. I'm back on Clear Liquids for 3-5 days. I feel weak and tired. On the positive side, I've lost 31 pounds but this has been the hardest way that I have ever lost weight. Looking forward to improving and being able to eat. :)

I was sleeved on the 19th so 11 days post op. I've lost 25 pounds so far, including pre-op diet. Feeling great in general although I have had some dizziness and pain around the incision closest to my belly button. Other than that, I'm ready for some flavorful food and ready to lift my 15 month old son up again. It has been a little difficult getting in more than 400 calories on most days. By the time I finish my Protein Shake, it's the end of the day!

      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?
