February Sleevers - Help!



Recommended Posts

Any advice or well wishes. I am totally frustrated and I feel like I want to cry.

Had surgery 2/28 and only down 27 lbs. What gives??? I've heard of the 3 week stall - but how long does that last? Is it you stall at 3 weeks or for 3 weeks you will stall?

I've been the same weight now for almost 12 days. I don't want to feel like I did this in vain.

I'm going into my 5th week post op. Nothing no budge no movement it's so heartbreaking to think this is it!

Thanks any help or advice.

The 3-week stall usually happens anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks post op and can last for up to 3 weeks or so. It sucks, but it's just your body reacting to all the mean sh!t that you've done to it lately. You just need to follow your plan and push through. You can do it!

you've lost 27 pounds in 3 weeks? I don't see the problem!

Also I was sleeved on 2/8 (almost 3 weeks before you) and I'm down 35 pounds.

I did have a 10 day at the beginning of week 3!

My surgery weight was 302 and I'm 279 now... so it's going slow - today I was down 1 lb. :)

27 is a great loss, I have the same surgery date and I've lost a total of 40 pounds but half was on the pre-op diet. I weigh tomorrow as I'm only weighing once a week. I'm happy with my loss so far. My surgery weight was 337.

ONLY down? Dude I was sleeved on 2/20; I’ve lost 23 pounds and I’m so happy with my progress! Today is 5 weeks out for me. Should I be feeling disappointed? I was thinking I was on track here!

Oh yeah and that includes my pre-op weight loss. So I’m down 17 pounds from surgery in 5 weeks. Now I’m starting to feel disappointment in myself. I’ve been strutting around feeling all sexy and self confident over 17 measly pounds.

No be proud! That's awesome and you know there's more to come!! (Well go lol). Yeah I started second guessing my post surgery loss for just a second, but yes we should definitely be proud!!

I am also a 2/20 surgery! I have lost less than 20 since surgery but I feel good so far. That is a great start!

      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?
