Sleeveed on May 3rd 2012



Recommended Posts

Just got sleeved in Berlin, MD. (Close to to Ocean City, MD). Dr Zarif was excellent. Was supposed to stay overnight for observation , but he kept me another night just to make sure I was ok. I am home now and just a little sore. Ready to start my Liquid Protein today. Was very scared before the surgery, but I'm happy I went through it. My highest weight was 350. My weight before surgery was 305. I weighed myself this morning at 298. Yeaaaa me!!!!

I had to see my nutritionist once a month for 6 months in order for BCBS of MD would approve it. She was very informative and supportive. She gave me small goals each month that took on weight loss one lb at a time. I also joined a support group that I attended regularly. The members there were very encouraging. My husband had the lap band done about 2 years ago, and has lost about 90 lbs. He is my greatest inspiration. 2 weeks prior my surgery, the nutritionist put me on a 1000 calorie diet 2 meals under 250 calories and the rest Protein shakes. I could have 1/2 cup of fruit or veggies with my meal. The Lean Cuisine lines makes quite a bit of meals around 250 cal. Drinking plenty of Water helps also.I was so afraid at first, but thank God He has His hands on me. Good look on your journey!!

Rene that is so inspiring to me. My heaviest weight was 351. I just had my sleeve on may 24. I am now at 337. I did not lose as much as you pre-surgery. I would really like to stay in touch with you. How old are you? I'm 30 and from Florida. Tomorrow will be 1 week for me. I am starting to feel better, but would really like to be reassured that things will be much better soon. I feel like I am missing out on life right now...

Sorry I haven't been on that much. We can definitely keep in touch. I am 39 and I live in Delaware. I am down to 275 now and feeling great. It is rough at first but it does get better. I just rode a bike for then first time in 15 years and it felt great!

      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?
