getting sleeved 6/26/2014



Recommended Posts

Ever since I can remember I've always struggled with my weight..

I've been indecisive about getting the gastric sleeve for 3 years and finally this year I've decided to set my fears aside.. I love food I love the comfort of it.. Today is my first day of my liquid pre-op and all I'm thinking about is pancakes.. I went to costco to get my Protein Drinks and I couldn't stick around for too long because I was literally getting anxiety from being around all that food.. Thanks for reading...

I made an appointment a few years ago to see a bariatric surgeon and then I called and cancelled. I need this surgery and my information has been sent for insurance approval. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if I will go through it! More than likely I will...I'm about 5 ft 2 and about 240 lbs. so I definitely need it. Good luck and God Bless!!!

You will not regret it! I am so much healthier and happier.. Not gonna say it was easy but it wasn't horrible either! It was well worth the small amount of discomfort for a few days!! I'm not ravenous any more... I get full quickly... I find myself choosing better food because I know I can only eat so much! I started in feb.. Lost 20 pre op... Was sleeved on 4/23 and am down 37 more pounds! I can fit into a 16 and an XL!! I haven't hit onederland yet!! That's my next goal!! I hit a horrible three week long stall from week 3 to week 6. The scale didn't move but my body shrunk! It was weird! Haha Don't weigh yourself every day!! The scale doesn't tell the whole story!! ; ) Good luck on your journey! You will love your new tummy!! I Do!!

      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?
