Any August 2017 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I pray all goes well for you! I'm anxious about the complications as well! My current weight is 246lbs. I lost 12 lbs so far. Can't wait till it's over and I'm through the recovery stage.

Yay! I'm happy for yowhat are you planning on telling your child? Do you have someone who can help out during your recovery time? My husband travels and I don't have any family nearby. I am trying to figure out how to handle everything on my own.

Thank you! I'm happy for all of us! My mom is here and his dad has him quite often! My sister is also going to travel from Texas to be here with me for the first week! I haven't said anything to him because he is VERY protective of me. Lol, I'm just going to have his dad keep him as normal for the few days that I'm in the hospital. Do you have any close friends near you that could help?

Hi, everyone, I'm in upstate NY and I've received a tentative date of August 28th. Didn't expect it to be that soon! but I still have a lot of steps to go through--psych, cardiac, and pulmonary clearances, an upper endoscopy, another group meeting . . . it's going to be a busy July.

Best of luck to everyone!

I am 67 and need a new hip but doc won't give me surgery till I lose 100 lbs so .... sleeve surgery 8/21... anything to get rid of the pain

I could have written almost the same sentence, except that it's my knees, not my hip. But oh, yeah, the pain. So debilitating.

      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.
