Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Pay if forward! Post Your Gastric Sleeve Surgery Success Story on ThisTimeItCounts.com!



Recommended Posts

I am working with ASMBS on an outreach project called This Time It Counts, and I would like to ask for your participation, please! It’s for members who have had Gastric Sleeve Surgery and have seen results already.

Being a part of the campaign is easy. Just post a short video of yourself telling your Gastric Sleeve Surgery story and post it on This Time It Counts (the instructions are on the page). In your video, you can talk about your Gastric Sleeve Surgery journey. Also, you can mention and talk about how BariatricPal has played a role in your Gastric Sleeve Surgery success :D.

This project will help reach thousands of potential Gastric Sleeve Surgery patients who are trying to make the right decisions for themselves. I hope you will take advantage of this chance to give back!

Thank you!

Wow what a cool idea! I haven't had surgery yet so can't contribute. I don't even know how to make a video when the time comes However you can be assured I will be visiting that page once it is up and running to view the videos of those you have had the surgery. I can use all the support I can get and just love reading and hearing about all the success.

I was sleeved 3 months ago and I'm on this site multiple times a day. It has helped me so much. Thank you to all!

Hey Alex,

Finally got to submit my video. I hope it encourages those curious about their WLS options to look further into deciding if WLS is right for them.

Here's the link to my video, you might want to pay special attention to the lower right hand corner of the background image.

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
