August sleevers progress



Recommended Posts

Oh my! I'm glad that you found out and I hope that you pass it soon! And hopefully less painful!

Ended up having surgery today they removed it. No longer in pain. It was by far the worst pain I've ever felt on my life. The woman next to me was there for bypass complications but has had kidney stones thee times before... Said child birth was better... I tried laughing when she told me but I was in too much pain...

I'm just glad it's over.

Uhhhh let's see....

Starting Weight (Jan 2013) 322

Pre op weigh in: 310

Day of surgery: 300

Current: 282

I lost a majority in the first 6 days post op, I've stayed within the same 2-3# over the last 2 weeks and it's making me absolutely crazy. Frustrating to say the least.

I was having the same problem. I lost 24 pounds the first week after surgery then had a three week stall. Two days ago I started losing again finally. Hang in there it will end soon!

33 y/o female

5'1"

HW: 235

Surgery date: 223

Current (9/17): 210

I had a difficult hiatal hernia repair, which has been my biggest challenge. My esophagus feels tight when trying to advance to solid foods. Still feeling tired, but averaging 50gms of Protein a day and 400-500 cal/day. I am having lots of sliming- totally didn't expect that! Mostly I'm just embarrassed to spit into napkins in public. Lots of gas and I saw on another thread that someone had used the phrase "urinarting"! LOL! That about sums it up! Overall, very happy that I had the sleeve!

Oh my goodness, I'm glad it's over for you thankfully I have not had gas anything like it was before this week over the last couple days and I hope it remains that way! Wishing you a speedy recovery!!

Hey everyone! Sleeved on 8/15 and have been doing really well. However, the past 3 days I feel like I have hit a brick wall. Headaches, weak, fatigued, etc. I'm working out pretty hard so maybe I'm just overdoing it? Anyone else had a rough week 5 and/or 6?

Thanks!

I'm at week five and I'm starting to get the headaches and dizzy and tired all the time.I take my B12 twice a day now and my surgeon said either back off some of the exercise or eat more calories. I can't eat any more so I'm working out an hour a day now. I'm starting to feel better :)

I thought I had gas too and it ended up being a clot between my stomach and liver. If the pain doesn't stop' date=' please see your surgeon! A CT scan quickly found my clot.

What did they do about the clot?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
