Mommy, I am also a "lightweight" and can't keep the extensive regimen up that it takes for me to stay in a healthy weight, when are you planning to go for surgery? I am scheduled May 10th. My Mom is going with me, if you are there at te same time you are more than welcome to "hang" with us!

Wow! That would be great! I'm trying to confirm for May 11th.

Did you have any difficulties having Dr. Aceves approve you?

Send me a private email and I'll let you know what happens..

I'm between 30 and 31, but if I wait it will surely increase. Heck, I could get to 32 or 33 by the surgery without much effort at all! I'm just a vistor at any particular weight--never stable. I was 40 pounds lighter in September after completing a medical fast. I'm so sick of this insanity in my life!

I hope to hear by tonight or tomorrow. Other than being a chronic yoyo dieter, I'm very healthy. I'd love to have a sleeve buddy in Mexicali. I hope I hear soon--I feel very comfortable with Dr. Aceves. When I find out, I'll send you a private email and let you know the particulars.

I am the same way, was about 40 pounds lighter in October and I too am tired of this up and down. I am healthy otherwise. I do have asthma but only have issues when I gain weight. Yes, please send me a message and let me know! I am gonna jump on chat right now, be fun to talk to you there! You are in CA, at least you won't have to go cross country!

I am approved and scheduled and I am sooo excited. Dr. Aceves on May 11th.

No pre op diet because I am just this side of obese.

It is my greatest hope that I will find weight stability and not have to have this burden any longer.

Dr. Aceves' patients also have a Yahoo group site which has a lot of information. I can't believe how universally loved he seems to be. I wish it were happening tomorrow.

Dr-Aceves-bandsters : Dr-Aceves-bandsters

^^^^^^ click on that.

It says bandsters but there are more sleeve people on this group. Dr. Aceves doesn't even like to do bands anymore. You have to sign in with a yahoo sign in name. If you have a yahoo email address, that is your sign in name.

sorry, I tried to cut and paste the link. It's a Yahoo-Health group entitled Dr. Aceves-Bandsters. Hope this helps.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
