About denakayhall0218
- Sleeved or not sleeved:
- I have had a gastric sleeve.
- Biography:
- I am 63 year old, I have battled weight loss since 1990, had two nodes on thyroid and began gaining weight after I had radioactive iodine to dissolve nodes. The nodes were benign thank goodness but the weight began to be a problem. I am always cold, and I cannot eat a normal diet, If I eat about 1 time a day, it is ok, but if I eat anymore, I gain so much and it is impossible to take off with an underactive thyroid now.
I am just tired of fighting this, after 20 years of this problem I hope I have found a way so I cannot eat as much and lose weight without being miserable.
I don't think I will have a problem adjusting after, I just need something to get started with, have taken diet pills, (Phentermine) I am immune to them I think, I take Levithroid, (138 mg.) up to this milligram, and my diet is out of control, I have just given up and if I don't do something now, I'm done for.
I am glad I am beginning this amazing journey and I am glad I found this surgery and this group.
I do not have insurance, and if I don't get blood work, Dr. will not refill thyroid or diet pills, and when I do have meds, if I don't lose weight he won't refill meds, I am in a catch-22 position, so I'm stuck.
This is why I need to get this surgery done.
Thank goodness for modern medicine. Maybe I can get refills, to pills, by losing weight and get on a even pace?
Staying positive.
All I want to do is sleep since I have no thyroid meds and I'm just miserable can't wait until 1/30/2014 when I go to Tijuana for surgery on 1/31/2014 with Dr. Osuna at Mi Doctors Hospital. Staying at Marriott in Tijuana on the 30 Jan. 2014. let me know if anyone else is travelling that day, so we can hook up and share.

Hope your doing well, since sleeved and I really appreciate your wise detailed description on what to expect.
I am going by myself and I'm a little scared.
How are your eating just soup or on a little more substantial now?
Do you fell good, and how long were you sore, if any?
Thanks for your knowledge>
So glad your ok.
So glad I found you on this blog, it put me at ease now.

Found this information on a You Tube Video; that makes sense and has worked well for a Sleever into this 2 yrs. and keeps her weight in check.
She looks great and loves her life now.
Here IS HER ROUTINE TO KEEP HER
