Good Morning everyone, I am due to be sleeved and I'm scared to death! I am getting sleeved at New Jerusalem Hospital. I am afraid of being in surgery alone in another country, not getting the proper amount of fluids and Protein and also how and where my weight will fall off. The last fear is vain I know. I'm just afraid to have my legs get really skinny and my stomach stay fat. I have read many of the posts and I have learned a lot. How much weight should I expect to loose initially?

That's right. Just be confident in your decision. I'm going in april 6 to Tijuana. Im more excited than nervous now. Reading all the great tips and good advice on how to be prepared has helped calm my nerves tremendously.

      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.

        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!
