Recommended Posts

It's been 8 months since I decided to have the sleeve done and 7 months since surgery.

It's the the best thing I could ever have done. I have my life back!

I've added my B4 and images taken yesterday.

If your on the journey or feel you want to get on it.... I can't begin to tell you how it will change your life IF you embrace it!

You look great! I'm scheduled for June 14. I'm so scared! But I know if I DON'T do it, I will NEVER get my life back! I'm mostly afraid of complications!!!

Sorry I'm all new to this. I thought it took about five months from decision to surgery date because of all the appointments with a psychiatrist, nutritionist, etc. You look great, btw!

Hi Lori
I live in the UK, following some direct talking from my Dr. I decided to self pay and I made my decision to have the sleeve on 10 August following meeting the surgeon, had a two week holiday then went on my pre-op diet and into theatre 13 September. I had and still have full support from my surgical team.

As you can imagine it won't be as easy in the good old USA. I do have a couple of co-morbidities. I need my knees replaced because of arthritis and the ortho suggested the weight loss surgery. I'm hoping insurance will pay for the knees and the weight loss sx.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
