Anyone getting sleeved on august 30th?



Recommended Posts

Pretty good a little on the tired side. I'm addicted to the scale and have gained some weight. But I put the scale in time out and am hoping it's just shifting fluids. How are you feeling?

I understand completely! I am hoping some of my energy will come back soon. I actually gained 7lbs the day after surgery then I dropped after I started taking in more fluids, then I gained 3lbs overnight! And dropped it slowly. I am on full liquids for 4 weeks (26th) so I think since I'm not taking in a lot of calories my body is in starvation mode which is why it is holding on to my weight and that could be the case with you as well!

Thank God for this site. I feel better just talking to u. I am real good now. On the 6th day after surgery I was able to eat. It's so strange how different each program is.

I was sleeved on 08-31-17
Started soft foods and puree today.
Feel like I am not losing fast enough.

Like I said before, mine is going up and down. I've lost 13lbs since surgery. And I am on liquids! Meaning I should probably be losing like crazy!! But I'm not. So don't overthink it! Our bodies are in shock right now. And our bodies really want us to hold on to fat cause it's all it's known for so long. Give it time, it will start falling off.

I suffer from OCD and I can't stop obsessing that my doctor messed up on my sleeve and made it too big.
He did my wife's sleeve and I swear mine is bigger.

      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?
