My sleeve just cost me more than I ever expected



Recommended Posts

I woke up in the middle of the night in horror that my wedding ring was not on my hand.

I NEVER remove it. So I'm about at goal at 141 and have lost 2 pounds in the past two weeks and it must have come off my fingers too.

I have retraced my weekend steps and left my number with every place I went. I posted on CL and lets just say I'm not holding my breath.

And I'm not stressing over it either. My wonderful husband said .. Well it's been 16 years and we should Renew our vows anyway.

What a man. It means a lot to me because I had it made for me from family jewelry. But I am realistic about getting something like that back.

And just knowing that it slipped off my skinny finger kind of makes me giggle.

Very expensive lesson learned.

I only got sleeved on 12/17/14 and my wedding band had to actually come off last night. I'm down 49 lbs.. I was so fearful of losing it since it was so big, I put on a plain diamond band until either a. I outgrow that. or b. get down to goal and get a new band (our bands are titanium and can't be resized)!!

good luck and I hope it makes its way back to you!

DId you look all in and under your bed? Maybe it slipped off while you were asleep. At any rate, congratulations on your weight loss and on your wonderful husband!

Ring guards? ::google google:: Hey, ring guards exist!

I had never heard of this product, but just searched Amazon on your recommendation. I am a few days from needing to remove my wedding ring or risk losing it (@@Zane's Mom, soooo sorry for your lost ring!), and now I don't have to. Hooray! Thanks for the tip, @@Cupcake!

I'm so sorry you lost your ring.

I haven't worn my set for over a decade. Fingers too fat. Now that it fits, I want to wear it because it's the only real jewelry I own, but I filed for divorce. Gotta laugh at the irony. I hope you find it. Check coat pockets and the seats and floor of your car. Mittens, etc.

Ha, you are not the only one. Well, I have not had my surgery yet and we are already separated, but I feel the same way about my rings. I may decide to have them made into something else eventually.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
