Questions about the sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hello, My name is Jamiea. I am actually in the process of scheduling a surgery date. I have done my research found a Great surgeon. But i have something that worries me, I know at least 3 different people that have been sleeved. They lost the weight which is great but it seems like one of them lost to much weight to the point of her looking sick. I really don't want this to happen to me. Did she do something wrong are does that just happen sometimes?

Your Surgeon's office will give you information on risks. They will also monitor your weight loss. Losing too much weight is rare.

You would have to ask the person who looked "sick" if they had complications or health issues.

Betcha that lady had other things going on. I could understand being,a little pale, we're, in the Northern Hemisphere it's winter and a lot,of us aren't getting much sunlight. Tired, well you're recovering from major surgery, a great stressor on your body. I'll probably will have both of these but I intend to have a big sh**eating grin on my face and,i bet nobody will notice those 2 things. Looking forward to the day my boxer waist,pants fall down to the floor. And I'll wear t-shirts without visible globs and lumps,showing above and below my bra line. Shoot I might even get some new bras to,replace the tired stretched out ones I have now. I'm going to be strong and fit enough to compete in the Senior Olympics if not the regular one. Maybe they were treating that super thin lady for anorexia but I'm willing to bet she's not a post-sleever.

      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?
