After Gastric Sleeve I Lost 17.7kg!
I got the Gastric sleeve done. Before the surgery, however, doing everyday things like chores, walking, shopping, and cutting my toenails became so difficult.
I was running out of breath and struggling to breathe. I was constantly lethargic and would spend every moment outside work in bed as I didn’t have the energy to do anything.
Everything got put into the too-hard basket; it started to affect our marriage, too, due to the constant arguments over mainly the lack of help. My husband was doing everything. Food-wise, every day was takeaway as we couldn’t be bothered cooking.
Once I decided that the surgery was the best option for me, the process from the first consultation to the day of the procedure was painless.
Dr Maani listened to and supported me throughout the journey, and he was clear about what was happening before, during, and after the surgery.
He had answered every question I asked without hesitation. On the day of surgery, I was surprised by how pain-free I was, except for the trapped gas used for the procedure, which lasted about 5 days after, and it was highly uncomfortable, but once it subsided, I was feeling great.
It has been 2months since the surgery, and I feel a million bucks. I’m down 14kg, have so much energy, and doing everyday things is no longer an issue; I’m actually getting out of bed, enjoying my day, chores no longer kill me, and I’m making more of an effort to help, which has eased the arguments.
Food-wise, I have not had takeaway, and I feel so much better for it.
