Hispanic Gastric Sleevers - Question



Recommended Posts

For any of you that speak Spanish, I want to get a tattoo that says, "love my sleeve" in Spanish, since I was sleeved in Mexico. My freind from Honduras doesn't know how to spell it since shirt sleeve and tatto sleeve are different and he doesn't have a clue about a stomach sleeve. Does anyone know how it should be spelled? Thanks.

Sleeve gastrectomy is called Manga gastrica, therefore I would say that "love my sleeve" would be "amo mi manga" or "amo a mi manga"

Where in Mexico did you have your sleeve, I am having mine there Dec 10 in Tijuana, by Dr.Almanza. My sister had hers done there also by Dr Kelly. I am soo excited, but yet nervous. Good look with your tattoo.

Paola, thanks a lot. I think I like "amo mi manga". Chrissy I went to Dr. Kelly in TJ. Love, love, love him. I had a picture perfect post op. No pain, no gas, felt like I didn't even have surgery until the exhaustion hit me about day 6. But at about 15 days out I felt compeletely back to normal.

You can also mixed sleeve with "yo amo "

"yo amo mi sleeve" or sounds even nicer "Amo mi Sleeve"

Paola is right sleeve is manga, but manga has different meaning in Spanish

Like Sleeve in English . Manga could be a hose or tube and also manga means the sleeve of a shirt :)

Suggestions :

"Amo mi vida, Amo mi sleeve"

"I love my life, I love my sleeve " :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
