Anyone with 180 pounds doing the sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I was 190 at surgery time and I'm 5'3". You'll have to check my ticker because I don't remember what my weightloss stats are, but I think I can get close to first goal of 135 this summer.

Great, when is ur surgery, mine will be this Monday 10th , lets keep in-touch so we can follow our progress together , i really need some moral help and encouragement. We can do it each other. even thought my family is really supportive, only us understand how difficult can be..

I do not have a surgery date yet, I have 1 more nutrional visit (July 2013) and once all the paperwork is submitted, I will get a date. I was told is should not take long to hear back from my insurance. I am hoping I get a date for September 2013. I would lve to keep in touch and follow your progress. Will you post your progress on youtube?

My insurance requires 6 months of nutrional visit.

Wow, I am very sensitive and I am on tears right now...:-( I can relate totally with you, most of my family is obese too, I want to change that circle, and be able to move around ...my small son is only 9th and I don't play with him because of my back pain or take him to the park because my severe incontinence does not allow me to be outdoors I need a restroom every hour. Its so sad to be stock.. Hopefully this decision will help us to have a more enjoyable life..

I have fought my weight my whole life and I can only do so much without physical help. I am so glad you are getting help while your son is young- I wish I had this done before I inflicted my bad eating habits onto my children! Good luck and I hope all goes well on the 9th...that is soon! I bet you are super excited!

I'm almost 5'1. You'll never heard me admit I'm anything else. :)

My highest weight 211. I'm 187 today. I get a sleeve on Monday. Honestly, I'd be happy with any loss that helps alleviate the co-morbidities.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
