Getting Gastric Sleeve Surgery Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

I am getting sleeved tomorrow (11/21/2011). I just found this website and thought it would be helpful to join.

My heaviest weight was 390 lbs. Today (1 day before surgery) I am at 365 lbs. I am so ready to begin my journey. I am getting sleeved at Baton Rouge General Hospital by Dr. Frelich. I just went through the liquid diet phases ( 1 week of full liquid and 1 week of clear liquids), Those two weeks were probably the hardest two weeks of my life. I will keep everyone updated on my weight loss as I make the journey.

By the way, can anyone tell me how to get the weight loss and bmi counter that everyone has at the bottom of their posts.....Thanks so much!

Good luck tomorrow. You are about to begin the journey of a life time. You can find the weight loss tickers at http://www.tickerfactory.com, http://www.weight-loss-center.net/weight-loss-tickers.html, http://www.my-calorie-counter.com/weight-loss-ticker.asp or http://www.matthewscaloriecounter.com/.

You could also google search for weight loss ticker or counter.

Best wishes!

      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!
