The Cons Of Gastric Sleeve Life! :-(



Recommended Posts

I wish I'd just get sleeved I'm scaired because I can only go to Mexico. And alone

Maybe you can schedule your sleeve in Mexico with someone else here? I'm going at the end of January to Dr. Almanza - maybe you can find someone going when you want to have yours done and to the same doctor? Then you won't be alone! :)

That is not a con when you sweat like a ***** in church all summer long! I welcome being cold!

You can only take so much off to cool off, especially when your a cow, you can always put more on to get warmer. I would love to be cold over sweating hot all the time!

Hey!

Thanks for the post! While I see how this could easily be a con because I have lived it. I have to say I hope I am cold all the time like my fit/skinny friends. Currently I am always hot and this is not fun! Our friends always want the heat turned up or to sit outside in the sun! Sorry, but being morbidly obese and sitting in the heat is just NOT fun! Rather miserable actually!

I'm sooooo looking forward to being cold! I don't ever get cold. Even in the dead of winter with 2 feet of snow outside I'm still sweating sadly. It will be SO nice not to sweat all my makeup off before I even make it to my destination! I can't wait for that!

Well Ladies... I have been like a heater all my life... (my hubby says, I'm still "hot", even if it does come in flashes)....but, this mid-life cycle... is the pits... and I think cold is good...

So, I am looking forward to it. Besides... who wouldn't love to wear those cute little tee-shirts with the layered look... a beautiful sweater... or even cotton sweater... Thinking about it brings on a hot flash!!! lololol

      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!
