Any May Sleevers Yet?



Recommended Posts

Thanks for sharing that information. I have been reading so much about Dr. Kelly. I am sure he is great but it all comes down to what you are comfortable with. I chose Dr. Aceves because I keep hearing that when it comes to revisions, he is the man. :)

Can't believe we are already in April. When I first started thinking about revision to sleeve it was February and May seemed so far away. I am so glad it is almost here. Can't wait for the life changing event. :)

I agree, is all a matter of personal comfort! Are you having a sleeve revision or going from lap band to sleeve? I have heard great things about Dr. Aceves, good luck with your surgery!

I'm scheduled with Dr. Ponce in Tijuana may 17th!!! It can't get here quick enough!

Yay! I was sleeved May 17, 2011. I've been trolling the May group looking for someone who will share my sleeviversary! I will be thinking of you on the 17th and wishing you a speedy and uneventful recovery. It's been a long year, but I do remember how frightened and nervous I was. I'm here to say one year later that it is so worth every minute!

      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.
