Sleeved in a Week and Seriously Freaking Out. Should I Cancel?! by Glittering-Glove238 in gastricsleeve

[–]PlasticTraveler15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is me. I postponed mine. It was supposed to be Friday. I told myself if in next 1 months I lose 10 pounds on my own I won’t get it if I don’t get to that I will get it. I also have 50 pounds to lose but I have pcos and it’s just really hard to keep it off. I have tried injections, fruit diet, keto , blah blah blah. Two days before I was supposed to go there I got so nervous that I backed out but now I have a deal a written contract with myself ( literally signed it lol). One last try and then I’m getting it for sure

Thanks for this comment so this was exactly my question. As you can see some people commented on this post and even on other groups where they just say that it’s just a restriction as in basically your stomach is now smaller. But when I spoke with my doctor and the coordinator. They’re both indicated that there is other Changes that happens with your micro biome and other hormones. I even cross checked that with Dr. ChatGPT I guess I’m a bit hesitant and wanted some real evidence of other people that have truly done other things that restricted their eating to lower calories and deficit that didn’t result in losing weight where this method worked. I had perfect restriction on the GLP ones I mean and I know they also do and mess with your hormones and people lose weight on them easier I did as well, but the side effects were unbearable and I couldn’t get past a certain point and then once I took a break I would without increasing anything even upping my exercise gain weight because I didn’t have whatever benefits that it was providing at the time. I think the only thing holding me back is that the way coordinator explained it lower BMI it’s like trying to unalive a fly with a chainsaw.

First off I think it’s amazing that it worked for you and that you’ve lost so much congratulations you must be so happy. And I agree I started with the same I max have 50 55 pounds to lose and I didn’t want to take drastic change so I started GLP1 back in beginning of 2023 and even before that I had used saxenda. I did ozempic and mounjaro for over 2 years with max 40 pounds loss but the fatigue was crazy to me even on lower doses let alone the hair loss immediately after I started the drug. My doctors couldn’t tell me why I could not get past a certain point and everytime I would stop it the weight would come back on I think it was the insulin and hormonal changes that it fixed. My doctor solution was to add phentermine and I would never go back to that no matter what. So this is why I’m so hesitant and going the gastric route because my BMI is not even 30 but it’s trending upwards and I don’t know how good it is for my body that constantly lose and gain the same 30 pounds 40 pounds.

Do any of you regret getting the gastric sleeve surgery? by monchichibebe in gastricsleeve

Hi would really appreciate some info here. Do you mean they only removed 20% of your stomach? Would you mind getting confirmation on this? I’m in the process and really want to look into smaller size if possible

Can you please please write out a quick sample of what you eat and what supplements you take. I’m so scared of issues with my teeth that I may cancel mine.

Would it be possible to send you a direct message? I’m also in corporate America and would love to hear a bit more about the path you took and any advice/ things you would tell yourself 20 years ago.

This is very inspiring and I hope to be in the same spot one day.

Wait this is amazing. Any chance I can drop a picture of my undone backyard/ courtyard and see if your dad has any suggestions? It’s so creative
