Sleeved on October 8...update



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on October 8. I weigh in once a week...every Monday morning. Anyway, as of this a.m. I've lost 102 pounds. Not too shabby. This procedure has literally enabled me to reclaim my health. Blood work is perfect. No longer have sleep apnea. Actually don't need to guess whether or not I'll fit into a booth at a restaurant. I bought jeans at the Gap the other day. To be able to walk into a normal store and buy something off the rack felt pretty darn good. But, I hadn't realized how expensive things at the Gap had become. $59.95 for jeans? Really? Anyway, not a day goes by the I don't get incredibly nice compliments from friends and acquaintances. I've still got about 35 pounds to go and have no doubt I'll get there. Hope everyone is well.

Congrats, really great to hear your story! I am only 17 days post op, although am losing weight now, I keep thinking that this is going to stop soon and I will never make it to my goal weight. it haunts me but for now I really can not do much since I am still weeks away from eating salads and vegetables to stay full on healthy stuff.

Shopping has been a punishment for years, I can't wait to be able to fit in again in some of those TJ Maxx bargains :)

      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.
