My success story on the Gastric Sleeve



Recommended Posts

I do apoligize to anyone because i mistakely put my information under the lap band and it should be under the gastric sleeve. My name is Sherry and I had the lap band done in 2010 and had to have it removed in January 2011 because of complications. So then i did some more research on the Gastric Sleeve and i had that done on April 16 2013 went from 310 lbs to my current weight of 236 and right know i am looking for people that i can chat with to hear there story and motiviation and helpful information that i may be able to use. Looking for snack ideas there was one i found is to put sliced bananas in the freezer and use Peanut Butter on them i heard it is very good. It has been 8 months since my surgery and i feel really great and i am able to chase after my four wonderful grandchildren and do many things that i was not able to do went from a size 26/28 to a size 18/20 and i am working to get down to maybe a size 16. Went to my doctors for the 6 month checkup and he was nopt happy that i only lost 12 pounds in 3 months and i had explained to him that i found out that i have capulitis in both of my feet and it is very painful to even walk on them but i started again on my treadmill day before yesterday and i am doing 6 laps starting out at speed 2.5 and ending at speed 3.0 and will be doing that for awhile and then gradually adding to that, I also have an exercise bike to but i really like my treadmill the best. If anyone out there has any recipes or snack ideas please let me know

Hi Sherry my name is Kathy, i has the gastric bypass two years ago and in the past 3 months have started to put weigh back on, i have gotten seriously worried, and I am starting on the Pouch

Test diet which brings me back to the original diet, liquid for two days then Protein Did the doctor on banana and Peanut Butter.that sounds like a hi calorie food check with him. take a look at the

5 day pouch diet, and you will start to lose again

      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.
