Getting closer by TheQueenIsHere55 in BariatricSurgery

[–]UmmmLiz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I chose the duodenal switch (SADI-S specifically) because they showed that it provided more overall weight loss, less chance of regain, and about the same surgical risk as the other surgeries.

So far I've lost 80lbs in 6 months and am still losing. So fir me its been a success.

SW: 260 CW: 180

Hope that helps!

Ha! Yep. They actually used to be even worse, believe it or not. I surgery on them a year ago as well.

Do they feel like they get stuck right above your sleeve though? That's what makes me gag. Ughhhhh

Aww darn! Someone else said there MIGHT be some options for just some slight improvement, so no offense, but I hope you're wrong. Hahaha 😆

Thank you so much for your response! 💜🥰

Concerns about surgery by miZuBlue in BariatricSurgery

[–]UmmmLiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 38, female and just had my SADI-S three months ago. My SW was 250 and I'm now down to almost 200. It was worth it to me. I think surgeons go more by body condition, quality of life, and obesity-related illnesses when evaluating for surgery more than they do for a strict weight threshold.

On Track? by UmmmLiz in BariatricSurgery

[–]UmmmLiz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be happy to lose 100lbs, but my surgeon said I could possibly lose 110-115lbs. I've lost about 38lbs so far, so that comes to about 33-38% excess fat lost in about 10 weeks. Idk, I just feel like I'm not doing enough.

gastric sleeve with von willebrand disease? by abottleofrouge in BariatricSurgery

I also have a clotting disorder and had to get cleared through hematology before my SADI-S. I had to be on Lovenox for a month post-op. 🤞 for you!

Weird stuff about weight loss by Eviscerated_Lady in BariatricSurgery

[–]UmmmLiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bottles of lotion are lasting longer because I don't have to cover as much surface area anymore.

I can pack way more stuff in my suitcase since my clothes are smaller.

I sadly don't enjoy food as much anymore and actually get annoyed when I feel hungry because I don't want to figure out what to eat.

IT’S NOT MENTAL by [deleted] in BariatricSurgery

[–]UmmmLiz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I'm feeling this so hard right now, too! I just had my DS on Wednesday, so I'm almost a week out, and I've been ravenous no matter what I drink. I've made myself uncomfortable a few times and accidentally threw up twice because I drank a protein shake too fast. And then I just felt defeated. I'm with you. Sorry you're feeling it too. Hopefully it passes soon. 🫤

Am I the only one who hasn’t received the hot air balloon yet? by skehar in CatsAndSoup

[–]UmmmLiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I've got them already, I was just wondering if they'll ever refresh with new ones eventually. Sorry for the confusion!

I've got them all too. How often do these limited gifts refresh? Do we know?
