January or February 2016 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

So it has been almost a year since we all had our surgeries. Is anyone at goal yet? It is so nice to not have to say "I am going to lose weight"as my New Years resolution

I had my surgery Jan 26th 2016 so not quite 1 year. I am 40 pounds from the weight the Dr wanted me to get to before skin removal surgery. He felt after the skin removal I would be at the goal we set up. In the 10 months since surgery have lost 95 pounds for a total of 277 pounds from my highest weight.

My surgery was January 27, 2016. Can't believe it's been eleven months! I haven't had my December weigh in yet but as of November I was down 105 pounds. Finally hit onederland! Last time I saw that was in the mid 80's.

I am about twenty pounds away from goal. I am having a few plastic surgery procedures so I estimate taking off another 15-20 pounds with that.

Congratulations GirthGirl. You are doing fantastic! I can't imagine how wonderful you must feel hitting onederland. My surgery was a day before yours. Right now I have lost 95 since my surgery date and hope when I see the DR again at the end of Jan I can say I have lost at least 100 pounds. I too will have to have plastic surgery which the Dr feels should take off another 30 pounds. Sure sounds like a huge amount of excess skin. Let us know when you have the visit with the plastic surgeon. Keep going strong.

Thank you ssflbelle! Congrats to you too! I am planning on having my first procedure in May. I just have to get the money together first.

      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?
