You'll do great! Best of luck to you!!
I think it's normal to feel this way and have 2nd, 3rd and 4th thoughts about surgery. Most of us would agree that IF we could have lost it on our own then we would have done it before ever...
Like AnnieG said it's very individual. I don't get any of those things you named and I'm about 5 weeks out from surgery. I don't go more than 4 hours or so without something to eat, even if it's a...
That's awesome! I wish you continued good health!!
Same here! I think about food and want food WAY more than I ever did before having surgery. I'm not really hungry but always thinking about eating. I chalk it up to head hunger, which is just as bad...
I feel bad for you and I know how tough it can be- I'm a month out from surgery. I live with my bf, a 12, 9 and 1 year old and it would be tempting to see them eating yummy snacks and foods I...
I'm feeling great! I go for my 4 week follow-up in a couple days and will know how much I've lost since surgery. I haven't started weighing myself outside of my surgery follow-up appts, since I have...
No vomiting after surgery. I'm a month out from surgery and I've had a couple spell of eating too much/too fast and had the frothy, foamy spit-up thing happen. Usually you feel much better after...
One of the doctors in the practice I went through will only perform surgery if it includes removing the gallbladder also. I think the thought process behind that is that when you lose a lot of weight...
I've only had a laparoscopic gall bladder removal before the VGS and there was no issue or concerns the surgeon expressed about it.
I only took off a week and a half but my job is pretty sedentary, mostly office work. I felt ready to go back to work, just not ready to wear fitted pants once I went back. So the first week back I...
10 hours of sleep a night sounds dreamy to me! My surgery was on 8/29. Before and after surgery I get about 5-7 hours a sleep a night (depending on my 1 year old). I feel more rested now on the same...
I've had iron deficiency anemia for most of my life. I started getting iron infusions about 10 years ago. Usually about 4 a year and will go back to my Hematologist next Monday to prepare for another...
Wow you get up at 5am and stay awake until 10pm, that's some great energy right there. Lol! I get up on weekdays at 5:45am to get 3 kiddos off to school/daycare, I work 7:30a-4pm, pick up kids, get...
That's great! Way to Lose!
Mine was 2 days clear post-op, then full liquids for 2 weeks, then on to a Mushy food diet for a week then on to any solids I can handle.
Sounds like you're doing great! I haven't been to the movies in ages, but I'm sure I would have had some popcorn. Lol;)
Glad you're putting your life back on the right track. I'm not sure about the Sleeve recovery though, as I just had surgery a few weeks ago.
Awww Congratulations!
Shingles is no fun. I had it once and it was three blister/bumps under my right breast and a couple bumps on the right side of my back. Ughhh! It burned so bad and was so painful. I first went to the...
You sound like me in taking years to decide this was surgery was the best option. I went to 3 seminars in about 12 years. I just recently had surgery and I'm glad I did. I did not experience GERD but...
I'm sure the dr's office would have alerted you if any issues were found with your pre-op tests. Best wishes to you!
SO good for you! That's a great way to live. Best wishes to you and the hubby!!
I was on 3 bp meds but had to go off 2 of those about 2 weeks after surgery due to lightheadedness and dizziness. It hasn't even been 2 weeks since I've been off the meds but I feel great. No issues...
Amazing! Congratulations!!
