December sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Good morning December Sleevers... I am so excited to be going into surgery in 2 days. I am so looking forward to losing weight, being able to get around easier, to feel better, to jump higher, to react quicker , to just live life with more passion. I can honestly say I have no reservations YET! Is that odd that I have no fear? I don't feel nervous, afraid or am I even questioning my decision. I am so ready. This is right for me, for this time in my life and for my future. I hope I feel this same way right up until they put me to sleep. I hope you all can find the same peace.

Im not feeling nervous a bit. My surgery is Wednesday. Dunno if i will feel like that the day of, but then they can just give me some nerve meds lol. I am just excited to get on with my life. Excited about soo many things. I started my Clear Liquids, i got lucky and didnt need a preop diet. I am trying to drink only Water intill i am starving. when they did my gallbladder xray the tech told me my liver was a little fatty, so that is the only thing making me nervous. Well good luck to everyone and i will see you on the losers bench.

Best wishes for an easy surgery and quick recoveries to the last of the December sleevers.

Hi Everyone,

Well I am 2 days away from being sleeved. So far I have lost 18 pounds on the pre-surgey diet. I thought I would not do well with it as I love food. Christmas was the hardest! So much food, I cheated a little but that was the first time I cheated during the whole diet, I feel so bad about cheating because I was doing so well. Wednesday is the big day and I am nervous and excited. I really don't know how to feel. Good luck to all of the upcoming sleevers this week!

Hi everybody. It's so exciting to hear everyone's stories! I'm getting in to Tijuana tomorrow night for surgery on Wednesday. I've been driving for four days, so it's been a real adventure. I've been mostly keeping to clear liquids for the entire time, except yesterday I was feeling really light-headed, so I had a bottle of V8 (which helped a lot--amazing what 70 calories will do!). I'm kinda concerned about the trip back, but that's what I gotta do.

Best of luck to everyone else who's getting sleeved this week!

      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!
